This sounds exactly like what they said about us back in 1976 when we had Tony Dorsett. Everyone said we were all flash, couldn't win the big one. Then we went and won the whole thing. This Oregon talk reeks of jealousy from a rival fan who misses the old Pac-10. I watched Dan Lanning's team last year and they play with a toughness that reminds me of some of those classic Virginia Tech teams we used to battle. A five-star class means you have talent, period. We'd have killed for classes like that in the 80s. As for the QB battle, transferring for opportunity shows initiative. It's not like the old days where you sat for three years behind a senior, I'll give you that, but these kids want to play. And that defense? They fly to the ball better than any group since maybe the 2002 Miami squad. To say they'll lose two by October is just hoping for failure. The game has changed, the uniforms are brighter, but tough football is still tough football. Oregon is built for the modern era, like it or not. All this NIL complaining is just noise from folks who can't keep up.
