DT's two biggest issues as a teammate were both locker room/off the field type stuff. 1. He was not a fan, to put it mildly, of non-African Americans and did not speak with or even acknowledge most of his white teammates off the field 2. He caused a lot of internal drama hooking up with other player's girlfriends

1. Now 2nd year removed from Chip Kelly's influence
2. Receiving core (no Huff, Addison, DAT, or Hawkins)
3. Front 7 (lost a lot over the last two years, relying on mostly unproven guys, and Tony Washington isn't Dion Jordan).
4. Marcus Mariota getting beat up on offense. As others have mentioned, he looks like a #1 pick when he has loads of time and can run around but accuracy and mental edge decline significantly as the hits rack up.
5. An OL trying to get bigger and stronger...it's veteran but sometimes trying to change an OL philosophy too much can backfire (less endurance, mobility, or more injuries).
6. Fan apathy? Could be wrong but I feel like I've seen more articles of late of fans losing interest since Oregon isn't in the NC every year.
Still, I see Oregon only losing 3 regular season games if Mariota stays healthy, a young WR steps up (and Mundt develops more), and the front 7 is closer to your 2012 front 7.
