10-2 Losses will be Georgia and (I know its a home game but...) Utah. Hopefully I am proven wrong....On both accounts!

I'm giving Butterfield a slight edge going into camp. He has shown more growth in comprehending the offense and taking care of the ball than Thompson has as of late. That's not to say Thompson hasn't made strides either. But if we are basing where they are now versus their star rating when they started their first season, it is clear Butterfield has developed more. In my opinion, he has essentially caught up to where Thompson was when he saw his first game action in 2021. If there is no clear separation between Thompson and Butterfield at the end of camp then Butterfield needs to be given the #2 spot. This means he has fully caught up to and maintained the same skill level as Thompson. Whoever gets #3 is gone next year. No one can afford to wait with Dante Moore coming on board. If Butterfield leaves I see him as a great fit at Fresno State. Would easily pick-up and thrive in the offensive scheme that they've used with Jake Haener. If Thompson leaves I see him going Big 12. Maybe an Iowa State or Baylor type school. Dave Aranda would love him. But so would we!

I'm going with Nix at QB1. But what about #2? Has Thompson done enough to earn the spot or is Butterfield going to surprise us?

It's only fair to pair the #2QB in the nation with the #2RB for 2023...

Dante Moore, Oregon Ducks QB pledge, rises to nation's No. 2 overall prospect, behind only Arch Manning - Scorebook Live NEWS.SCOREBOOKLIVE.COM 247Sports updated its class of 2023 national rankings, and newest Oregon Ducks quarterback commit Dante Moore made a significant jump. Rated the nation's No. 8 What a stacked QB room. If Dilly can deliver the sky is no longer the limit; the MOON is!

Since it's become clear that Miami's donors will throw any and all money at recruits in order to secure their commitment (Jaden Rashada, Jayden Wayne), there is essentially no such thing as an accurate prediction any longer. These last minute NIL deals to flip recruits are becoming more and more common. Here's to hoping Dante Moore has already made his decision!

It feels too soon to call this a win but it sure feels like it. I keep knocking on random pieces of wood anytime I have conversations in the office about him (just in case). An unofficial visit (on his own dime) AFTER he has already had his official one is what I keep coming back to. And specifically to coincide with the huge recruiting weekend. This really feels like he wanted to hang with these guys as though he wants them to be his future teammates. By all accounts the weekend went extremely well. It sure would be nice for him to wrap this up and at least place a verbal on Oregon. It would make ME feel better and hopefully help land some of these big fish.

Should be a good redshirt year for him watching Tyler Van Dyke get vastly under-used and coached down. My guess is Cristobal roles with him again the next season and Rashada sees more of the same; he may get some mop up duty preseason but nothing more than handoffs and checkdowns. By the start of year 3 Josh Gattis is hired off as a HC, Rashada has seen enough and is off to the transfer portal; seeking anywhere that will let him throw.

If Bo does what Bo should, I think he's setting himself up for easily his best year statistically. Working with Dilly is going to slow the game down for him even more. He is going up against Pac-12 defenses in Pac-12 stadiums. If he isn't at or above DTR level stats he should consider his season a disappointment.

Cam Ward and Michael Penix Jr. ranked higher than likely starter Bo Nix? Do you agree?

I think the Ducks have the "opportunity" to provide Georgia with the most dynamic offense they'll have seen since the National Championship. I say opportunity because they have every piece in place to do exactly that (great playmakers with great potential). What remains to be seen is how effectively it is coached and schemed. If Oregon's offense can get above 70 plays in the game that means Georgia's defense will be tired and more susceptible to mistakes. I'm gonna take a leap and say the offense is really clicking by the second half and starts an exciting comeback that brings us to within a touchdown. I think Georgia comes up with the late interception on Nix after he tries to do a little too much. Georgia -7

Seems like Kirby Smart at least has respect for the threat Bo Nix's athleticism and gun-slinger mentality poses. Oregon Football: Kirby Smart calls Bo Nix ‘a tremendous player’ DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM “We had a lot of draft picks on defense last year and we struggled to get him on the ground. He’s a tremendous player.”

I live in Bend too. If QB play mimicked the amount of times I see people stop when they should go and go when they should stop on a daily basis then we would definitely have a Tyler Shough-esq season. This is why I have always loved the Chip Kelly version of practice where the QB takes roughly 15 billion snaps a day, makes mistakes but watches tape and learns from them quickly. Then by the time gameday rolls around it is all muscle memory and flow.

I say Thibs is a NY Giant and goes at 7. Next year could be iffy. Bo Nix has two years of eligibility and his performance this year will dictate whether or not he declares in '23 or '24. Noah Sewell could definitely wind up a top 10 draftee next year if he has another good season; but he'll have to stand out over OLs and EDGE guys which definitely come at a premium. I'm fine with him falling to the Chargers

If this team realizes the potential it has on offense, Seven doesn't need to top DT. He will be a game breaker for sure, but there are a ton of weapons on offense. Maybe the best group of WRs since 2012. All 3 RBs look legit.

DJ Johnson will be a major problem on defense. So glad to see him back on that side of the ball!

I think Butterfield has a better grasp of this offense than Thompson does. The pro-style aspects of it play to his strengths. He was slinging it in the 2nd half.

This is great news but also carries almost no weight right now. His recruitment list on 247 shows Texas A&M, which has already shown zero hesitation with dipping into their bottomless pit of a donor pool to buy recruits. Oklahoma will also need a QB1 after Dillon Gabriel is gone, or maybe even someone to challenge him right out of the gates. I think Ole Miss is probably in the rearview, especially considering the existing talent currently competing for the starting role. But I would definitely keep an eye on A&M the next few weeks. I predict a visit there sooner than later.

Any news on Noah Sewell? I don't think he had an injury listed from Saturday's practice.

I keep hoping to see that Butterfield winds up in the 225-230lb. range. With that size and arm he would undoubtedly resemble a "kid" that played here a few years back. He would only add to his arm strength while also being hard to bring down. I would love to see him running with the Ones in that scenario. He still looks scrawny like JH did his freshman year; which is saying something about Herbert's natural size coming into college.

Ty doesn't see 3rd string on this roster ever. He may have come from a smaller school, and his star rating might just be slightly over-valued but he is talented none-the-less. He knows this and will transfer the second he isn't in contention for the starting gig. Other schools would be happy to open a much clearer path to the starting job knowing he's coming their way. Unless something drastic happens, like we find out he simply cannot comprehend Dillingham's offense; he winds up no lower than 2nd string. Is he better than Bo Nix? Probably too close to call. He IS flat out better than Jay Butterfield.

If Lanning/Lupoi/Powledge can produce the defense that everyone expects they can, and Dillingham brings the bang back to the offense, I believe we will certainly cause more frowns than smiles in southern California. On that same note, we need USC to be as good as Riley is advertising. The playoff committee needs BOTH teams to be. We need west coast recruits to have more reasons to stay on the left side of the country. If both teams do what both teams are claiming then we could see an arms race of Cold War proportions. As we continue to consistently win and contend for championships and beyond (assuming SC can as well); we could begin stockpiling talent on top of talent. Riley and friends will attempt to do the same down south. As both teams trend upward, not only do recruits from the west coast stay home, but kids from elsewhere in the country start feeling the pull to play over here. Naturally, I am assuming we will succeed far better at this than USC (the Soviets, if I'm going all in on Cold War euphemisms ) so we manage to stay ahead of the talent curve. But having both brands in the national spotlight every single season will only help our chances with the committee!
