    Oregon's defense showed cracks in the title game? Those guys were swarming all night! without that defense we would have been out of the game by halftime. (not saying you said this Jayremie lol)

    The article missed one key game on our schedule- the PAC-12 Championship game.

    its strange how they sugarcoat 12 returning starters, so basically they lost half their team? eek, although i think they can overcome it.

    12 returning starters is a pretty decent amount actually. Auburn for example returns 4 I think.

    probably correct. I was just pointing out that there are other schools worse off with returning Talent.

    12 returning starters is great for a team that subs in at every position constantly. Everyone that will start this year should have a good amount of playing experience.

    I'm sad about our Linebackers. However, I actually think our OLine should be okay, at least later on in the year. I'm also encouraged with what I've been hearing about our DLine, which is one of the two biggest holes in our team, IMO. It is all about winning in the trenches, no matter if you are a team like oregon that is faster than all hell, Ohio State and Auburn showed us that you can beat us by overpowering us with the DLine (and having a mobile QB I suppose). Other than that, we will have another great offense and another pretty good defense.

    BCS or bust for sure. Maybe Natty or bust.

    Oregon is probably going to have to integrate at least one of their new WRs from the 2011 class. Teams are going to stack the box on them if they don't find some more speed on the outside. None of those guys are with the team until the summer so...

    That, having the O-Line in synch, and injuries are my biggest concerns with the Duckies chances next season.

    Rose Bowl or bust for me. Of course I want to get to the natty every year. But realistically being at least in the Conference championship picture until the last week, and mostly in the Pac-12 Championship is what I am "expecting" from here on out.
