2013 Oregon

Y'all will certainly be incredibly good this year and next. Especially if armstead goes beast mode. Tough offense to stop, too.
Our 2013 defense will be an absolute beast. Offense may be too.

If everyone comes back we might make it close. If not I think they give a pretty big whipping again.

We have arguably the best defensive unit this year since Chip has been coach. We loose Barner after this year which is big but gain several RB's including Thomas Tyner. I'm hearing Bralon Addison who came in this year as a WR/RB has been stellar in practice and is similar to De Thomas in play making ability. Our OL remains mostly in tact next year which is a strong unit.

Sounds good. Can't wait for the game. Looking to possible even fly up to catch it. That being said. Too many variables to predict how this season will play out, let alone a game in 2013.

And again, if we are hypothetically factoring in Hunter, Rogers, and Bray leaving, you have to figure an insanely good season by Oregon will more than likely mean some of their guys will leave as well.

Yeah, the 2010 team with only 67 scholarship players and 3 coaching changes is the exact same team we currently have going into this year amd with another year of recruiting. Solid point:good!:

I didn't mean that. We would very inexperienced. And this time we have to go all the way there. It's tough playing that far from home. With a new qb in one of the toughest home atmospheres in the country.

That's fine. You're entitled to your opinion. I just find it silly to predict a 2013 game when one down of 2012 has yet to be played. You're speculating that UT's big 3 will be NFL bound. The odds are in your favor that you are probably right, but it is still not a guarantee. Not to mention does Oregon not graduate some players? Will there not be some guys who leave early for the NFL from their team?

Chip Kelly has built a winning program up in Eugene. But truth is, defense is not at a premium in your conference. The reason the season is killing it right now in football is due to our conference by in large having the best defenses in CFB.

That game is not even on Tennessee's radar yet, but with that being said, to act like Tennessee's typical program is what you presented with that series of games you pointed out is not knowing a lot about the program. And the 2006 Cal game was more of a surprise for ESPN 'experts' moreso than anyone in the South.

Agree about who was surprised; I was in the Santa Monica Hooters and told everyone at the table to get ready to see a whoopin on the Communist Bears. No way were they gonna come into Neyland and win.

To answer your question: Yes, Oregon will graduate some players, but no one who represents the sort of drop off as UT would lose--we're talking about (3) key 1st rounders.

As I was telling my buddy the other day, what makes UT's D formidable in the SEC doesn't necessarily translate to perfection against a up tempo, fast-paced spread option. DAT and the other 5'6 150lb ninjas run right around those big guys. They specifically use that system because they know they can't compete against pro-style teams like USC, Stanford, etc by doing the same thing. They can't match athlete for athlete so they implemented a system that levels the playing field somewhat.

USC has had to combat this by slimming down our LB's to keep pace, which in turn, will make it much harder to match up against a power I LSU down after down. But since we're guaranteed to play Oregon annually (and RichRod is now in the conference), I see the sense in this strategy.

That's the thing, Tennessee's D has not been formidable the last several years. That is where the unknown comes into play. Sal Sunseri is bringing a Bama style defense which incorporates a more physical, aggressive style of play. Couple that with some of the JUCOs we brought in with Couch, McCullers, Sentimore, and Moore along with other guys who will be juniors and seniors next year(All Dooley's class), and I think the defense has the opportunity to be the strength of the team going into the 2013 season.

It will be an interesting game, in which the Oregon O line will have their hands full with a very powerful and deep D-line, an experienced secondary, and while young a group of Lbers to add to help Maggitt and AJ johnson(who are both beasts). What will be interesting will be our offense going into 2013 if Bray, Rogers, and Hunter leave. We may go back to what made UT one of the top teams in the nation and run the ball. That being said, too many unknowns to predict a game that far away.

Didn't use any absolutes in my statement--Auburn and LSU had amazing Ds and played great against them. I'm just pointing out their O prefers a big, slow D not use to seeing a fast-paced, unrelenting spread attack.

And if Auburn was scheduled to play them in 3-4 weeks, at Autzen, Ducks would probably smoke them. One or two good D outings doesn't mean their O is trash...far from it, actually.

Our defense will have a really, really good chance to slow Oregon down pretty well next season.

Yes, if three offensive guys leave and it is Worley at the helm in Autzen... the atmosphere will be insane and we will obviously need to score.

Pretty much agree with everything you said...UT's D in '13 should be nasty. As I pointed out in my first post, I expect UT to keep it close--maybe be tied at halftime--but ultimately, if we can't score, our D will lose morale and succumb to the unrelenting attack they always pour on in the 4th. Hope I'm wrong and UT knocks them on their a**.

Well no crap, what offense doesn't. A formidable SEC defense is not big and slow, but big, fast and disruptive.A big disruptive interior line will always give a spread offense fits because the QB doesn't have the time or is rushed to make the reads. And I never said that their offense is trash.

C'mon I think you know what I meant. You can't say just because UT has a highly rated SEC D and since Auburn and LSU beat them, hence the Vols will do the exact same. While I agree with how essential it is to have the disruptive DL, the larger point I was making is: the NC game was 19-16. Had Oregon been running a traditional pro-style with Thomas under center, the score would've been 45-17...Oregon's last 7 coming within under a min left.

It's their whole team concept you're playing against, not just one aspect. They don't want a football game...they want a track meet. And for the most part, they get their way. Let's just hope they don't 9/14/2012.

Without the long discussion, I'm just going to say this: If Tennessee's D-line can be disruptive and apply the pressure, they have a good chance to slow down that offense.

On a side note, how do you like living on Beachwood? Everytime I'm up there I barely get signal. Pisses me off.

Ha..I've got AT&T and it's hit and miss; much better than my buddy who lives above the Rose Bowl. Depending on where he moves in his house, the call drops.

I hear ya. I have Verizon and it does pretty well over in Pasadena/La Canada area. Not so much over there in your neck of the woods.

Anyways, I hope to hell our defense is settled into Sal's new scheme when they head to Autzen. I'm planning on going to that game and I want a win dammit.

Well I'll put it to you like this, 1200 for a 1 br in an older building is about average. Depending on ammenities(central air, dishwasher, etc) will bump that up estimate up. For the most part, location is not that great a factor unless you want oceanfront. If you want to discuss more, start a thread in pub or something. Don't want to hijack the thread anymore than what's been done.

As for the other three guys, you have to factor in, did any of those programs have 3 coaches in 3 years? Dooley getting canned would mean we would have our 4th coach in 6 years. Not exactly screaming stability.

Bama had seven different head coaches from 96-07 and two left after scandals.
