    Nope. Wasn’t aware browning had 2. Not many people liked his play. Personally I Iike Locker and wished he could have won one.

    Browning has the only two wins against Oregon since Reggie Williams

    Fair although the last one Pickett got hurt and dumbo gilby lined it up and ran it down the duck's throat in the second half

    The win at Autzen the year before was Reggie

    But can someone explain to me the Oregon hype? Aren’t they replacing a first round QB and an entire OL? Isn’t that the shit that the football nerds usually care about when they look teams pre-season?

    Yeah, high potential for them to underachieve for those reasons. The Ducks do look solid at all other positions though, plus they are perceived to have the best coaching staff in the conference, so that could explain the mediots ignoring some glaring flaws/question marks.

    4/5 of their secondary is gone now too. I liked their defense a lot. Not i don’t know about the defense as much and hate their offense. Nobody in the conference screams favorite though. And Oregon actually cares, meaning they try to win. So there is that.
    Lenoir changed his mind and is now returning, so the Oregon secondary isn't in too bad of shape. Lenoir and Mykael Wright will be in the running for the top corner duo in the conference. Losing Holland and Breeze will drop the Ducks from having arguably the top group of safeties in the conference to just being average.
    Oregon added Jordan Happle from Boise State whom Avalos likes a lot. Also, Steve Stephen made some big strides in the offseason. Bennett Williams has already proven he can play at a high level. The group won’t be as good but they aren’t falling back to average. Verone McKinley’s jump from freshman to sophomore year could make the group good.

    What do you call the duck equivalent of a doog?

    This reads like Doogman circa 2002

    Verone McKinley, Nick Pickett, Steve Stephens, Jordan Happle and Bennett Williams have already played a lot of football. Even Jamal Hill has played. Secondary isn't a big concern.

    The biggest concern far and away is the OL.
