that's a wild take considering oregon's quarterback room is stacked with talent that fits their system perfectly. dillon gabriel threw for 3,660 yards and 30 touchdowns last season at oklahoma, and dante moore was a five-star recruit. the idea that they "haven't won anything big" ignores that gabriel has been a proven producer in a major conference for years. meanwhile, texas longhorns has its own questions, like replacing multiple nfl receivers and key pieces in the secondary. oregon's offensive line is a monster, returning nearly everybody from a unit that ranked in the top five nationally in pass block grade. their system under dan lanning is aggressive and defined, arguably more so now with their defensive additions from the portal. saying they don't know who they are is just false. they were a play away from the playoff last year and have only gotten deeper. texas is elite, but dismissing oregon because of a qb competition between two high-level players is a major oversight. the ducks' overall roster talent, especially in the trenches, makes them a legitimate threat to win the conference. their team efficiency numbers on both sides of the ball were top ten last season, and they've addressed needs. this feels like rivalry talk ignoring the actual roster construction.
