    Must be hard. College is tough enough without the pressure of winning football games on national television. You can’t focus on both.

    You’re looking at a pretty elite defense that Oregon has.

    I still say James will be one of Oregons best ever backs. The guy runs with ferocity. He gets churning and it’s lights out

    as a long-time Duck fan it's kind of difficult for me to see that happening

    if they get Jordan Burch back and he's healthy...maybe. They will also need Bedford and Iuli to get healthy for depth on the OLine; and Jahlil Florence in the secondary

    one area they absolutely have to improve is in red zone offense. Their scoring rate in the red zone only ranks 79th out of 134 teams. And their TD rate ranks 41st. Empty possessions in the red zone will cost any team with championship intentions

    Can the Ducks win a championship? They probably have a good enough team but the real question is Will they win? Really tough to say?

    They need to sit Whittington. There’s a massive drop off between him and James.

    It starts with belief. Not much gets accomplished without believing it can. :) So I believe and trying to spread the positivity so thick it changes the electricity in the air and they feed off it. :)
