I think DT will be fine. He should get at least half the snaps in the spring and fall and most of the snaps against New Mexico. Thank goodness we don't play Tennessee in the opener!!!duckgrad99 wrote:I don't know why so many people seem to not like DT. The guy is the perfect type of qb for our offense. Honestly, Masoli had several games where he looked terrible. I just hope people don't jump on DT if Oregon loses a game or two early in the season. As long as he looks ok in spring, I still prefer him to Costa.
Actually, DT did the best job against the Boise State defense, which they'll be facing in Tennessee. There's no doubt in my mind that the Vols will stack the line and force DT to throw until he proves he can consistently complete passes and move the ball. The key will be for him to get settled down and get a couple first downs and not turn the ball over.
Our O-Line is experienced, our running backs are top-notch (with or without James) and our receiving corp will be significantly upgraded, not to mention our Defense and Special Teams are, well, "Special".
Masoli struggled big time early last season. If DT can get through the Tennessee game I think we'll be just fine.
