Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted October 19, 2021 This thread could be the start of quite a bit of discussion into other tangents, but let's each give our prediction as to the season-ending record for the Ducks. Give me your final record, which means you are right in the number of wins and losses, but also takes into account of whether we make a Pac-12 Conference Championship game (or not) a bowl, or even a Playoff. Thus you need to get the number of games correct too. Then, (for tiebreaker purposes) I need how many points you think Oregon will average scoring for the season and how many they give up per game average. Right now the Ducks are scoring 33.83 points per game, (the three year average is 33.84 points per game....how amazing is that?) and Oregon is giving up an average of 21 points per game. Predictions in other threads do not count as I am not hunting them down. Predictions without all three sets of numbers will be invalid. (Sorry to be anal, but people mess up and make it tough on me) I am thinking about a prize, since we won't see the result of this for a few months, but no guarantee there yet. (If anybody wants to throw in...for sponsorship purposes, I am a Shameless Beggar) You are also welcome to explain how you arrived at your prediction. I'll start... 8-5, 30 points scored per game, 26 points per game given up. So....8-5, 30, 26 Sorry to be so negative, but watching the Cal game...it popped into my mind that, "this is an 8-5 team." We will lose three more in the regular season and not go to the conference championship game and we will lose our lower-tier bowl game. The potential for this team is to win-out, but the will to change on offense by Cristobal is not. One more prediction: Moorhead will leave Oregon at the end of this season, and Mastro will be elevated to "Supreme Yes-Man."

47sgs No. 2 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Wow, that is a mind numbing prediction, but probably pretty accurate. With losses to UCLA, Utah, maybe OSU, and possibly a Washington school, that's probably in the ball park. In a lower tier bowl game, I think we'll win it. It just doesn't seem like leaving is in Mario's personality, but with LSU and likely Miami openings, he certainly could. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(OC) Wow Charles. The prediction you mentioned that Moorhead will leave Oregon and Mastro will be elevated to "Supreme Yes-Man as the OC, very depressing! Even my green tinted glasses won't get me past that one if it comes true. Just that thought makes me cringe in fear. Love Jon's upbeat prediction! JM will be present as the OC, more players coming back from injuries, Oregon will look more like the team that beat Ohio St. on both sides of the ball. They will find a way in each remaining Pac12 games, including the Pac12 championship to pull out the wins. 12-1 35 24 Edited October 19, 2021 by NJDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babyjesus615 No. 17 Share Posted October 20, 2021 10-4 Losses at Utah, Pac 12 Championship Game, and Alamo Bowl (because the team will have injuries, burned out) I agree that we could see Moorehead depart at the end of this season. There are so many HC openings even right now. It would be an absolute disaster if Cristobal chose to promote Jim "Toy Pistol" Mastro to OC. For all his stubbornness I believe Cristobal would fly the job open just like last time. He seems willing to learn; although at a painfully slow pace. By the team an offensive coordinator convinces him to coach with the adaptability of Nick Saban we may be playing football against Klingons. So it would be great for him to hire another coordinator with more experience than him. Also, I feel like even without marquee HC openings, Moorhead's patience with Cristobal's level of influence on the offense will only last so long. He knows he is one of the top offense minds in college football. Why put up with a head coach telling you not to implement certain things that you know work well? He could even leave for another OC job where he's given creative freedom to implement his design. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could even leave for another OC job where he's given creative freedom to implement his design. Of course any OC is aided by having a McSorly at QB and a Barkley at RB. How different would the Ducks 2021 O look with Marcus at QB, Freeman at RB and JM having the freedom to use them as he so desired? The WRs and TEs on the team are comparable to the guys JM had at Penn State. It is about the Jimmies and the Joes. But you have to allow for error and put the best J and J's on the football field.
