I think people are dreaming if they believe this Duck team is going to win the Conference

They may have more talent but they have far less experience. Hope I'm wrong.DJDuck said:
Other than Penei this OL is more talented than the one that graduated. It would have been nice to have a non conference schedule for them to come together as a group. It is what it is. We shall see.SFGbob said:
Please do push back. Here's what I see. A new o-line isn't able to open holes for the running game forcing the new QB to throw more than they want to and they also aren't able to protect the qb in passing situations.DJDuck said:With all due respect Bob let me push back a little bit Bob. 1st the OL.......of course it is a concern and yes they have a lot of talent. The last time I remember the Ducks replacing the entire OL was 2009. That was the year we lost to Boise State in our 1st game. That team came together, won the Conference, went 10-3, and went to the rose Bowl ranked #11.
BTW there are several of these linemen that have actually started for the Ducks at one time or another. 😊 -

We do have the most experienced and successful QB in th PAC 12 by far though. 😁

I appreciate Bob’s concern. I have a lot of faith in the coaches and the culture of the program. That is why some programs perform at a top level with regular turnover.

The Pac-12 sucks. That is

I would say “dreaming” is an overstatement.
They’ve got as good a shot as anybody because the conference is garbage.
Every team in the conference has a problem.
O line is the key issue as you say, particularly in pass blocking, which really takes time.
On D, the Dooks are mostly right. But they’ll miss Graham, because he was a seasoned and smart corner. Wright is crazy talented and got playing time, so he’ll help a lot. Lenoir opted back in. You gotta hope neither of those two get hurt. They’ll clearly miss Dye, as well as Carlberg, the latter being somewhat underrated in my book. But they have a lot of talent coming back on the D line and linebacker.
Clear favorite? No. But who is? -

I’ll believe it when I see it. -
Agree with you about Carlberg. He was one of those journeymen recruits that ended up having a solid college career especially his senior year. Shows the value in experience over raw talent.creepycoug said:I would say “dreaming” is an overstatement.

But that's your dumb fuck fan base man. Those Biden bots need another 70 or two to clear the cobwebs.SFGbob said:Brand new O line. New QB, New O coordinator and a mostly new secondary. I don't care about how talented these newcomers may be, believing this team is just going to roll is pretty foolish.
