It’s easy to get that impression when you look at Oregon from a distance. Oregon’s talented, but lost to some weaker teams. But it’s not actually reality. The culture is good here. All our talent is young. The talent we had in the JR and SR classes opted out or went pro. There are two players we signed who are top 300 recruits left in our jr and sr classes, with 2 more that transferred in. Just at a quick glance there’s around 18 top 300 recruits who are freshman. The talent on this Ducks team is really young.
We’ve got speed and you guys have experience. The teams physically are similar, but I suspect you guys have better depth. It’s not so much a culture be talent thing. Our talent is mostly too young (there’s a couple stud like Thibodeaux, Wright, Hill, Sewell, and Pittman that impact players as freshmen and sophomores).
it’ll be a tough ass game either way. Almost no chance this is a blow out unless the TO margin is 3 or more.
