UW schedule is better. That doesn't seem debatable.
I think Oregon does have better player talent. Recruiting R Us.

Okay. Now tell us its Samford not Stanford and we'll be making real progress on that schedule nut punch.lukeyrid13 wrote:We play at ASU not Arizona.
It is a question. with Ross & Pettis to throw to, Browning was an All Pac-12 QB, with out them, mediocre, This season, the Huskies will have 2 senior WR's for Eason to throw to, neither have been playmakers like Ross or Pettis were, also Myles Gaskin is finally gone, with a conference record that will probably never be broken...4 years of 1000 yds rushing.GrantDuck wrote:In theory, yes, but a few things.
1. You never REALLY know the schedule. Games that look tough often are easy and vice versa, based on injuries and surprises. This isn't MLB where you can basically determine the division winners before the season every year. Yes, Auburn, @UW, @Furd is going to be tough, based on them all having good coaches, but I think we actually beat Stanford fairly easily this season.
2. We have to show we're better on offense and Herbert can't regress more. UW lost more key dudes, but they might be a better offensive team this year, and their defense has been plug and play under CP.
3. Huck the Fuskies, beat them in Seattle and it doesn't matter.
Royce was 55 yards in his JR year from matching setting that feat first and Gaskin won't be the last. CJV ran for 1018 last year as a FR.Merganzer wrote:also Myles Gaskin is finally gone, with a conference record that will probably never be broken...4 years of 1000 yds rushing.
Actually there are at least two mistakes here. Not only are the Ducks at ASU rather than Arizona (whom they host), but UW is AT Stanford (https://gohuskies.com/schedule.aspx?path=football) on Oct. 5. So UW's schedule isn't quite as soft as was indicated.Merganzer wrote:
I'm just wondering how many RB's that good are going to play 4 years. I haven't checked the team stats, maybe there's an Sr. RB now with 3 straight 1000's...Duck07 wrote:Royce was 55 yards in his JR year from matching setting that feat first and Gaskin won't be the last.

Nope, not particularly here with the mistakes, but the dialogue for the season is "Oregon has a lot of talent, but the schedule is a killer".Phenom wrote:Dale Newton is not a great reporter.
This^^^. The best indicator of a team being great is how they deal with road games; the best teams in any sport embrace being on the road, imposing their will on the other team, silencing the crowd.GoDucksTroll wrote:Easy schedules really help, but if you’re not beating tough teams on the road then you’re not a good team. The best Oregon teams didn’t care if they spent Friday night in their bed.
