Prukop is so-so at best and the world is coming to an end.

Damnit...they might actually hand off to Freeman every time like they should have been doing the last two years.

    In case you didn't notice if they don't have a threat of throwing the football, Freeman's not THAT effective ...

    And there's that little troubling thing called defense that they pretty much have to put back together again

    You might just be kidding around. If not, Honest question, where did you hear this? I have been reading up on Oregon practices and have heard the opposite. Granted some practices reports read like a Dawgman report of Cyler Miles practices.

    The regression to a Bellotti-esque Season will be special.

    I wouldn't jump to early. Oregon will take another step down this year, but Prukop won't be the reason. He won't even be the starter.

    Terry Wilson will more than likely be the starting quarterback next year. He is showing a lot of promise in spring practice so far, and is very dangerous with his feet. To be honest, I heard he is the only guy able to score consistently on the defense. Prukop especially has been terrible from what I've heard.

    This team will slip again because their defense will still be bad, and Helfrich is still the head coach. But they'll be good enough to beat Washington one last time next year. Washington hasn't come within 20 points in Eugene since 2002 as I'm sure you all are aware.

    David Yost joined Mark Helfrich’s staff in January, 2016, bringing with him a wealth of experience accumulated over more than 20 years with programs in the Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC.

    Yost spent the bulk of his career under the tutelage of Gary Pinkel at both Toledo and Missouri before joining Mike Leach’s staff at Washington State prior to his move to Eugene.

    In his three seasons coaching inside receivers at WSU, the Cougars set the top three marks for most passes caught in Pac-12 single-season history, and twice led the nation in passing offense with 477.7 yards per game in 2014 and 389.2 in 2015.

    Yost spent the previous 12 years with Pinkel in Columbia. He began in 2001 as the quarterbacks coach and recruiting coordinator, and added the duties of offensive coordinator in 2009. He also held the title of assistant head coach for his final two seasons at Mizzou.



    While at Missouri, Yost coached three of the top quarterbacks in school history in Brad Smith, Chase Daniel and Blaine Gabbert. The trio earned 12 different all-conference honors between them, and Daniel emerged on the national stage in 2007 when he was a Heisman Trophy finalist, eventually finishing fourth in the voting. Smith became the first quarterback in NCAA FBS history to throw for 8,000 yards and rush for 4,000 yards in a career. Gabbert followed Daniel and became an eventual first-round NFL Draft pick.

    Smith enjoyed a nine-year NFL career as a receiver, while Daniel (Kansas City) and Gabbert (San Francisco) remain in the league.


    
In 2011, Yost guided the Tigers offense to a Big 12 Conference rushing title and finished the season ranked ninth nationally after averaging 244.0 yards per game. Missouri was one of only two schools in the country to average at least 230 yards rushing and passing on the year.

    

Yost assumed the added role of offensive coordinator prior to 2009 and oversaw a Tigers offense that ranked No. 14 in the nation in passing at 285.4 yards per game. The Tigers followed that season with a 10-win campaign in 2010, finishing No. 35 nationally in yards per game (409.62).

    

Yost was instrumental in the development of MU's renowned spread attack. The Tigers broke numerous offensive school records in 2008, putting together only the third 10-win season in school history. The Tigers established records for points (591), points per game (42.2) and passing yards (4,625).

    

Yost is considered one of the top quarterback coaches in the nation, based on his work in helping develop Gabbert, Daniel and Smith. Daniel had an amazing three-year run as a starter come to a close in 2008, and he left holding virtually every major passing and total offense record on the books. The 22 wins amassed over the 2007 and 2008 seasons ranked third nationally during that stretch, trailing only Oklahoma and USC.



    During the early stages of Yost's tenure, he helped Smith to become the first player in FBS history to reach the 2,000/1,000 mark twice in a career, accomplishing the feat in 2002 and 2005.

    

From 1997 to 2000, Yost held the same responsibilities for Pinkel at Toledo. He spent four seasons coaching two of the most productive quarterbacks in Toledo history in Tavares Bolden and Chris Wallace. Yost came to Toledo from Tiffin University, where he coordinated the offense along with coaching quarterbacks and receivers in 1995. During the 1994 season, he coached wide receivers.



    A native of Carrollton, Ohio, Yost spent time coaching his former high school team after graduating from Kent State University. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in early childhood education in 1992.

    

Yost, 46, and his wife, Carrie, have three children: a daughter, Kennedy, and sons Keaton and Kamden.

    For anybody that questions how pedestrian the Oregon offense can be, please go back and watch the 2nd half of the Alamo Bowl.

    Oregon's defense will be a disaster and there's very little that Brady Hoke did at Michigan that didn't make one thing that he was anything less than in over his head when it comes to major college football.

    The best thing that could happen to UW this year would be for Oregon to somehow go 9-3 or something where they overachieved and somehow was able to hide that Helfrich wasn't anything less than a disaster as a head coach.

    Winning/Losing to Oregon honestly hasn't mattered depending on the location because it has all been about whether UW had the players that could stay with Oregon's athletes. If you go back and look at the game last year, Oregon's offense generally speaking was pretty average save for some duck and chuck balls thrown by Adams that he got bailed out on ... such is football. UW's got the athletes to play with Oregon and I honestly don't think that the location will be the difference in the matchup. If Oregon wins, it's going to be because they are able to plug some of the sizable holes that they have. If UW wins, it's going to be because their youth has taken a step forward and they are the conference contending team that we're dooging it up over with our offseason natty.
