    How is Oregon recruiting on the lines? Defense?

    They have a really fucking good DB and WR class. Their offensive and defensive line classes are pretty pedestrian so far. They do have one JC DT that is pretty huge.
    Interesting. I don't follow the teen boy stockings, but this much always rings true. Football games are ultimately won in the trenches. Their ceiling will be set by how well they recruit and develop their lines.

    As always, the answer is to LIFPO. Taggert may be a lot better coach than most in this thread are giving him credit for. My hunch is that he is a good coach and that he's assembled a very solid staff. Sarkish tendencies aside, he may have Oregon winning fairly quickly, perhaps as quickly as this season. We'll see in a few months.

    Just waiting on the kiss of death from Mosster to end the thread.

    I'm glad to see a coaching staff selling the Ferrari leather with some passion. Bellotti had no vision, Chip didn't like recruiting, Slingblade was lazy, and the lifetime contract assistants lost interest.

    My group of friends always though the Ducks would vastly improve in recruiting with a new energetic staff.

    The offense has never been an issue at any point since Mike Bellotti was hired as the OC forever ago. The defense finally hit rock bottom last year.

    The new DC won't have two or three guys going to the same gap every fucking play for 11 straight weeks. Hoke is a good recruiter and a solid D-line coach, but literally doesn't know how football works which is crazy.

    The offensive line all returns, the backs are all back, the QB is back, and the WR's have a lot of talent. The TE spot is a concern, but they should be ok.

    If the D can get down to 25 to 28ppg they should win 7 to 9 games in the regular season.
    If ifs and buts were pots and pans, the Ducks would have a Natty, maybe two.
    Honestly if they had 2 more decent OL they might have actually won a natty.

    Sarky class. At least 1/3 will transfer back home once reality sets in that they just got dooped into spending the next 4 years in Eugene.
