Ducks Ranked In Top 5 In LA Times For 2009

Post by Mops »

Gotta love this...

5. Oregon

2008 record: 10-3.

Final AP ranking: No. 10.

Key losses: Running back Jeremiah Johnson, defensive back Patrick Chung.

Key keeper: Quarterback Jeremiah Masoli.

Comment: Lose one Jeremiah, keep another. Truth is, no one wanted to play Oregon at the end of the year. The Ducks' offense scored 55, 65 and 42 points in closing wins against Arizona, Oregon State and Oklahoma State. Masoli is an emerging superstar. Oregon opens at Boise State followed by home games against Purdue, Utah and Cal. A 4-0 start against that lineup puts Ducks in serious national title contention -- plus they get USC in Eugene.

I like it. At least one writer is willing to put his real thoughts on the ducks down in print without watering down his opinion. I
Stewart Mandel-"From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I much prefer to watch a good spread-rushing offense over a traditional Power-I offense, and Oregon's has been the most fun by far for the past several years. It's fast, its precise, and when Chip Kelly has the right quarterback (Dixon, Masoli) at the helm, the possibility of someone ripping off a 60-yard run exists on nearly every play."

I agree with that. Key is Jermiah Masoli, If he contiune the way he did last 3-4 game, and avoid Injury. I say watch out for ducks!.
