You can take that either way but they have talent stockpiled and Cristobal is for real. Or not. LIPO
Pittman came in for his first game as a true frosh and was catching balls off of his toes and behind his back
Better than any of our top ranked receiving recruits
Hard to imagine they'll travel to Washington, USC and ASU w/o 2 losses. Probably will steal one of those, but maybe not.
I do think they solve their Cuogur problem this year though.
The San Antonio Choke Machine was twice as good as this team.
Oregon fucking SUCKS.
This fucker is going to crumble like that old lady I pushed down the stairs at Autzen and with about as much warning.
You’re right that Oregon will lose again and isn’t a great team but the San Antonio chokers had Brenner rolling snaps to Lockie at the end...this Oregon team would beat those guys 3-2 in an epic RedBox Bowl......
Shough isn't Jeff Lockie.
As for the other comparisons, I don't track each Oregon team closely enough to really compare them, but you're going to have to come up with something substantive to get me to assume that that defense was better than this one. Because from dead reckoning, I highly doubt it. So there's 1/2 of the equation.
I'm not sure that Oregon team had a better O line. In fact, given what happened with Brenner and there being no answer from the bench, I'm going to assume this Oregon O line is better and deeper than that one.
Adams > that Herbert? I'll take that. I think V Adams with this and last year's Oregon team could do some damage.
The area where I think there is a big difference is in WR. I always said that Oregon would regret running off Darren Carrington, and they certainly did. They haven't had a good receiver with any size since then. They were short receivers last year and are short receivers this year. IDGAF about talented guys on the bench. Until they do something in a game it's all talk. In that respect, you have to cut Herbert a little slack in the same way you have to cut Eason a little slack. They are both making their reads looking for open midgets who like to drop the ball.
Overall I think your conclusion here is a little over the top for two reasons: one, I don't think those old Oregon teams were that great, and two, I don't think this Oregon team is that bad. Particularly where Vernon Adams is a factor, he was very good and any team would miss a guy who can play like that.
Rolls Royce was always overrated af to me. Soft ass bitch saving himself for the NFL. It was clear as day even before the Vegas bowl Taylor Rapp routine.
