Need to send you to the recruiting forum to get educated on why we will win

Unless the defense hated Dooley so much that they sandbagged all last year on purpose, then they are still going to be frigging awful and Oregon will probably score between 40 and 50 points. So the question becomes whether you're confident we can get to 17-20. And starting completely over at all the skill positions? In game 3? I'm not.

I think it was part defense sucking part NO communication or assignment knowledge. Half the time they were running around just before the ball was snapped. That stuff can be fixed with even a little bit of coaching. Oddly enough, we have two big dudes on the line that *might* be able to disrupt some plays.

We have also shown nothing in a long time that tells me we will tackle or contain anybody. So, it could get ugly. 45-20 seems possible. So does 52-7.

Agree completely. Also, even if our defense is greatly improved the only time in the regular season last year Oregon scored under 40 was against Stanford and I don't see it being anywhere near possible that we improve to that point.

I'll still be interested to see how well the Oregon offense runs without Kelly calling the plays. May not matter at all, especially against UT, but I would expect them to have a few kinks to iron out.

Oregon basically has all of their offensive weapons back except Barner. They lost their 3 best defenders, but they still have good talent on D. We have nothing proven on offense other than the line and a defense with experience but a new system again and a track record of poor tracking and no speed. It's not looking great


Dobbs is the next Tee Martin tho (sarcasm)

The line feels about right. They should score about 45. We should score about 17. I'm more confident in the former than the latter. If that makes me a negavol then so be it.

Doc is trying to have his cake and eat it too. Simmons even previously said he understood why Doc left, he is just tired of Doc posturing and trying to have Boston think he's the good guy. And then getting in a feud with Simmons is about as dumb as dumb can get.

Meant to comment on this. What coach ever "just owns it" when he dumps a team for a different job? Easy to see why Simmons the Celtic Fan is pissed, and I think it's outstanding that he actually called Rivers out for it, but Rivers most just played the same BS coachspeak game that they all do.
