I think Oregon has taken a step back from last year. But I still think they're def. a top 5 team and better than Alabama. Oregon would beat Bama today if they played.
So far with the way Bama has looked this year(so far for them) I would agree...later on in season or give Saban 5 weeks to prepare in a Natty, i do not know...I think Oregon has taken a step back from last year.

Agree 100% Our LB core is our whole major weakness(so far this year). They just are too young, too lite, nothing remotely like the NFL bound studs they replaced... I fear greatly for that unit. And actually, Tenn, with their great O line may actually pound us much next weekend.The LB play has definitely dropped off from last year. Hard to replace Kiko Alonso and Michael Clay.
I think Oregon's D-Line is better this year -- or will be once they gel a little. And I like Oregon's DBs.
The running game is out of sync. I want to see Marshall get more carries. But it's pick your poison -- the WR group is better this year. A healthy Josh Huff will be nice.
Tyner should make an appearance after Oregon gets up by another TD.

We actually got more yards in that game then LSU. And I guess giving up 4 turnovers, 3 which were fumbles near their endzone for 21 points of easy scores had nothing to do with our loss at all....:whatever:Disagree. How to beat Oregon? LSU game a few years back. You need the skill and speed on a disciplined defense. Disrupt their execution.

I would give my left nut for him on our team...imo. I think he is perhaps the 2nd best one in the Nation after Saban(D mind)/. But I do not like Saban- his personality. SO he would be my first pick to poach. But LSU pays him over 1 mill a year, so that will never happen. And he has no desire to be a HC someday and he aint leaving LSU.and the Chief is Chavius,who is at LSU now
