Oregon Ducks Football: The Season for ALL the Marbles
Might have to beat USuC twice...once in Vegas. Could be our D slowing them just enough for our O to score more. I am thinking the Stein offense will be prolific, their D not quite that great. So fully agree, pass rush will be so huge this year, up the pressure, and turnovers are always important. Pass rush will improve the number of off throws we can pick.

Three BOLD Predictions for Oregon Football in 2023
A lot of wealth to spread around. How about team totals of 62/54/42. Scoring offense and yardage offense, #1 and #1. Pac 12 title, CFP, semifinal win...how about 15/0?

Ducks Season Predictions
Oregon's offensive will break the all time ppg avg and total points in a season. Bo Nix wins the Heismann and O'Brien, Manning, Camp, etc. 12-0, beat USuC for the second time, in Vegas, 13-0 Oregon gets the 2 seed, beats LSU 52-34 in the semifinal, as GA beats tOSU in a close game in the other. Natty: Oregon 49, GA 35 55.8 ppg 566 ypg Just 6 turnovers all season, Bo just 2 INT, both the receivers fault Defense is great against the run, way better than last year against the pass 24.2 ppg 364 ypg 25 picks (3 for six!) 19 fumbles recovered, 44 take-aways! Season turnovers +38, all time record. Caleb Williams 6 picks in 2 games against Oregon, Penix has 3, DJU 3, Shough 2 '24 class finishes #3 with a late influx of 5* kids, '25 class ends up with 8 five star kids and finishes #1

'Washington is the Most OVERRATED Team in Top 25' (Wow, Josh Pate!)
Literally depends on whether the game is officiated by Crap-12 refs?
-
SHOUT! The AP Poll is Out!
Again, these things are always SO based on LAST YEAR. Final top 25 won't be anything like this. What's the word on the Utah QB and the ACL? They lost a lot to NFL/Graduation. I think Utah is over-rated especially if mustache-QB guy is out for a while

Why Big Ten Should Adopt 10-Game Conference Schedule For 18 Teams in 2024
Gives us a chance to play the barkrats annually, but existing non-conference agreements could get in the way for a while...eventually the civil war could resume. Then, every year we can still have one cupcake donation game to some FCS athletic departments budget, at Autzen. 6-7 home games a year

Lanning Says Austin Novosad Has 'made huge strides' This Offseason
Novosad was a 3*, then upped to 4* after the season, Ducks coaches seem to have a good eye for talent, and developing...this is huge. I saw one ranking of all time Oregon QB's recently and how they rated coming out of HS. (Mariota was nowhere near the top 15 of that list, Ty was #1 and only 5* QB we've ever landed). I wouldn't be surprised if he gets the #2 spot this season. Hopefully he and Ty both play against PSU and Hawaii...and more as we rack up huge scores with our offense, and our improved D creates insurmountable leads, even in conference games this fall. Don't worry about burning the redshirts, get the talented new kids real game time when able. Bo will be gone, give the worthy #2 QB max reps when safe to do so

15 College Football Teams in Contention for the Final Final 4
Georgia will have a new QB, I pick the winner of the SEC CG as the likely 1, or tOSU and the SEC champ being a 2 if they have 1 loss. Oregon will win the P12 and be undefeated as a 2 or 3 seed, Clemson or GA or LSU will be the 4, but they probably won't seed 2 teams from the same conference as 1 and 4 if they played each other in December. Clemson, not sure they'll be better than 11-2, Notre Dumb won't make the playoff, nor will the B12. Michigan, I agree, not this time Jimmy. P12 will not get 2 teams in

Pac-12 Preseason Media Poll
TMI. TMI based on the recent past. USuC will probably falter a bit, they always get over rated. Utah will be lucky to be 5th if the QB isn't back from that ACL. Mutts talent level will catch up to them a bit. Oregon can use this to motivate. I think the Duck D will be vastly improved this season, and the Offense will be #1 in the Pac if not the country at least from G5 schools. Can we beat USuC twice? (I think so)

Total Offense, Defense Rankings 2023
I wouldn't be surprised if we have a top 25 D. Our offense will score a lot, quick, and we may not be #1 D in the Pac, but out offense could be top 5, in G5 at least. On offense, we top Usuc in the Pac as well as the mutt dog perpil pooch GPA prowesserers

I bet there's a lot more 1st team action when these things come out in December.

What Are Realistic Expectations for Oregon in 2023?
I bet the D is WAY improved, which fixes all but the GA game last year. Tech will 100k people going nuts, Shough will be fired up, but I agree...talent gap... we'll have a week to tune up against PSU at home, O-line...we'll put up up 50+. Usuc at home...mid season, we win that. Mutts on the road mid season with a much improved D...we win that too. Utah? 13-0, playoffs baby.

Is It Reasonable for Oregon to Reach Top 5 in Recruiting This Year?
I would be surprised if we didn't nab several 5* before this is over. Chip Kelly, and current beavers coach develop 3* and have huge success. Mari took a lot of 4* and staff didn't develop, and had crappy schemes. DL and company get 4/5 level kids, and coach them up with good schemes, there could be no stopping us!

Do YOU Want Oregon to Wear Throw-Back Jerseys for a Game?
Once a season yes! Diamond plate is old enough now to throw back. '94...yes. Joey years, 2001.. why not.

Pac-12 Quarterbacks Ranked by Ducks Wire Heading Into the 2023 Season
Repeat Heismann? Happened just once. USuC will falter at some point, 10-2 would be the over for me. Rising probably won't even play all season, the knee injury, we'll see. Phenix gets a lot of love, deservedly, but I think he and the mutts backslide a but this year. Nix has the better tools all around

Georgia's Astounding Success with 3-Stars Who Become STARTERS for Their 'Nattys
Seriously, think about the beevs going 10-3 with very few 4* at all. Chip Kelly years our 4/5 ratio was very low. Great position coaches and coordinators for many years from Brooks to Bellotti to Chip to Helf. Now you see Lanning and company landing 3* they want, getting elevated to 4* after the recruiting guru's see them in a few camps. These coaches have the eye for talent, and the coaching part is the final key. I think they have it!
