Athlon Countdown: #9 Oregon

No. 9: Oregon Ducks - AthlonSports.com

Without Masoli, and the hits they took at running back, I don't see this.

No way they finish in the top 10.

Agreed. On paper 4 months ago maybe, but not now. Oh well, just another team that should fall and allow a spot to move up.

Ugh...the season can't get here fast enough.

Agreed. Someone is asleep at the wheel over there.

Its preseason plus they have nike in there backyard.

they could easily get to the rose bowl next year with gerhart leaving stanford and the coaching changes at USC. don't know their OOC schedule, but they might not have too many hard games.

They will be decent. They still have James at running back, and a redshift soph who will probably win the job who threw for 250 yards against Boise state 2 years ago. Athletic qb from Texas. Took redsirt last year.
