Log Haulin No. 2 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Ducks are loaded at every skill position group offensively. This might be the most talent Ducks have ever fielded on the O. Will be interesting to see how the O line comes together. New line coach in Terry and 4 starters gone from last year. Will be interesting. JPJ, Conerly and Ajani Cornelius are absolute Dudes. If the line gets to a high level, the skill players are going to shred the Pac. 23' is going to be a big year. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have four starters who played extensively or started in Josh Connerly, Marcus Harper, Jackson Powers-Light, and Steven Jones. Add Ajani Cornelius--the best offensive lineman in the portal, and you have FIVE starters who are proven prior starters or who played almost as much. Oh yeah. Can't forget the Texas transfer, Junior Angilau, who started 30+ games at guard, and the monster guard, Nishad Strother, from Eastern Carolina. 2 1 2 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck Moderator No. 4 Share Posted July 6, 2023 We had the highest rated linebacker crew a few years ago, and production, not so much. I am as excited as anyone, but will wait for the production. I will say Troy Franklin is the real deal. He has proven himself an elite Oregon receiver, all-time, in my book. The rest of the guys are going to have to prove it. I have lots of enthusiasm, but believe the accolades shouldn't come before the accomplishments. Recievers are like movies, some seem like they should be box office hits, but actually flop. Others, like Jeff Maehl, seem like they really shouldn't be that good, but become box office blockbusters. I will also say Tez Johnson, in the spring game, was like watching a movie preview I don't want to miss. I hope the full release is as exciting as that preview! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the challenge Terry faces. What Oregon has done on both O line and D line is amazing. Add the skill players on offense and the upgrade on 2nd and 3rd level defensively. This could turn out to be a special year. Dare I say 14 wins? Flup it! 14-1 with a trip to NCG. That means wins in Seattle and Salt Lake. I will take a loss in Rice-Eccles if Ducks end year 14-1 Go Ducks! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
