The official Oregon Ducks thread (merged)

The offense is nasty. Barkley is better than any qb Pete had.

kiffin is a major reason why the offense is better. the dude is still an elite OC. anyone arguing otherwise just isn't paying attention.

They didn't really suck? did you watch the oregon and stanford games? and how was pete not there?

They lost 4 games. Pete set the bar so high that a single down year was considered a "****ty" season. How many programs consider a 4 loss season a failure? Or to how many programs is that considered "sucking"?

The offense is pretty good. They've only beaten one team above .500 though, and that was Hawaii.

any elite program. and usc might very well only lose 4 games this year too. they'll probably lose to oregon and then who? oregon state maybe?

Perhaps, but there's also a good chance they lose more than 4.

 

[droski]

who are they going to lose those games too?

Oregon, Arizona, Oregon State.

 

[droski]

only way they lose all 3 is if they mail in the rest of the season.

Or if they prove to be a mediocre team. Which they are. :yes:

 

[droski]

oregon state and arizona are mediocre teams too.

oregon state and arizona are mediocre teams too.

How does that conflict with my statement?

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

My opinion is not based on one game.

 

[droski]

so what is it based on? beating stanford at home?

 

[BearCat204]

My opinion is not based on one game.

You mean the other horrible teams they ran the score up on outside of Standford?

 

[droski]

stanford has a truly horrible defense. if they roll through the rest of the schedule like this i'll be convinced.

Bama would beat the ducks by 2 tds on a neutral field. they can't handle a more physical team.

bama would have the speed and discipline on defense to stop that oregon offense. stanford's D is very slow and they got exposed.

and the enitre UCLA team looked very slow

so you have watched every team play this year?

 

[BearCat204]

I agree with this

I see your point but you're probably the only person in the CFB world who would call the granddaddy of them all, the Rose Bowl, a "second tier BCS bowl game."

lol:
when? maybe 20 years ago if that.
this is a foolish, self-given title (like cowboys being americas team)

only matters to big 10 and pac 10 teams.
how can it be the biggest bowl if only 21 teams have a chance to play there?

ucla is truly horrible. i have no idea how they beat texas.

 

[txvolsfangatorh8r]

ucla is truly horrible. i have no idea how they beat texas.

well anything can happen in CFB but i also gotta think that texas is a bit overrated and this may be the beginning of their downtime of the cycle

 

[NCGatorBait]

Oregon reminds me of 08 Oklahoma team with their fast hurry up offense...piling up loads of points on mediocre defenses...curious to see how they respond when they play a good fast defense like UF had that yr...

 

[droski]

good point NCgatorait. also similar to some ttech teams that lit up the bad defenses and couldn't cut it against the good. teh latter is obvious yet to be seen. though in the past when elite offenses have played elite defenses the elite defenses have always won.
