    Don't know, but I assume a bunch of highly rated recruits. They will put up big points all year. Their defense may suck again, though. UW playing at USC will be the toughest game of the season, IMO.

    Hot take - Beavs finish higher than Oregon

    More likely everyone at the top finishes 7-2

    Caleb Williams crashing and burning is almost as good of a bet as our DAWGS crushing our hearts again in a 7-5 season
    But they fixed the D with some impact transfers from Arizona, is what I’ve been told

    SC still has a suspect DL. They’ve improved at LB. Their D has to be better than last year. They’re gonna out score everyone, except Oregon.

    Nix is going to regress as a passer this year.

    They're going to force him to throw more routes than just bombs to Troy Franklin.

    If he runs, then good for him, but it means he doesn't give a shit about the NFL.

    Nix is a fine player but not quite All-conference, All-American QB prospect now, is he.

    They brought in a head coach who had no clue what he was doing in the SEC personnel-wise and trotted out an offensive line with walk on caliber players starting. Not a great recipe for success going against elite SEC defensive lines. Auburn was 10x worse offensively without nix so he clearly wasn’t the problem.

    I don’t think the loss of gus affected him as much as having <1.5 seconds to throw every snap did. He looked just as bad (if not worse) as he ever did at auburn v UGA week 1 last year (and Oregon had a better OL than Auburn). And that was with his “whisperer” Dilly.

    He’s not a great qb under pressure/making quick reads. He has a slow release and when he feels heat he has a tendency to throw the ball low. Luckily, outside of UW/Utah there’s not really any DLs in the conference who can bring the type of pressure that will make him uncomfortable. And with Oregon’s personnel at OL/RB this year, they should be able to keep doing what helped him succeed last year —feed bucky and Noah for 6 ypc and occasionally PA yak in a clean pocket with >4 seconds to throw.
