On defense, we have those 3 senior lineman, but the 3 sophomores backing them up will be better. It makes me pretty stoked for this team for the next few years.
are you saying the Sophs will be better then they were last year or better eventually then the Seniors? The later would be awesome as these Srs. are outstanding. I've relayed this link many times, but I like the way it displays the depth chart http://web.nmsu.edu/~ogden/oregon/depth2013.htm STOMP
What I mean is that I think those sophs will be every bit as good as the seniors (hopefully) and keep what is becoming a tradition of solid defensive lineman continuing for a while.
The Sophs should be improved but the Srs. are pretty solid and are my guess to remain decidedly better...you're not done improving athletically at age 22. Teams started moving the ball on the Ducks last season when their frontline talents like Keliikipi and Ricky missed games, and Hart was their best. Looking forward to seeing what Ebert Carriger Bair and Prevot can bring as well...should be a very solid unit STOMP
