Washington has one too.

Washington is quite the Women's Crew and Softball school now. I was hoping that the Huskies would slide a bit, Sis Bates has moved from All-Conference IF to student assistant coach, but it seems the talent is still there. Bunker will take her place on the All-Conference Team

A more athletic Tom Brady. Not to give anything away, but I'm leaning towards believing that he'll get it done.

Same situation with Arik Armstead.

I can certainly understand your thinking here. I would argue that for Playoff purposes, a stronger Pac-12 conference only helps Oregon. Oregon is remote enough already, add a weak conference and Oregon's chances shrink even more. This season Oregon could benefit from USC's return to prominence w/o having to face them until possibly the conference championship game.

I don't think "denial" is accurate when it comes to his description of SC's lines. They weren't good during Helton's time, and Riley has brought in a lot of "Skill" players via the Portal. But not so many "Big Uglies" on either line.

I recommend the Peanut Butter Pickle Bacon Burger

The Ducks look to extend their 7 game winning streak with a win over the Sun Devils. No TV, but the game will be available on Oregon Live Stream.

I agree David, to ignore recruiting in favor of the Transfer Portal to build a team is a high- risk move. SC is a great point. If Williams ultimately decides to go there, it's all good. But if he goes elsewhere, the Trojans have trouble in the QB room. Besides that, we're seeing Lanning's recruiting getting off to a great start. Not so much with the load of players in this class. But with the network he's building with the recruits, the high schools, coaches and academies for 2023 and 2024. The relationships that Lanning is building in this process will benefit Oregon for years; and doesn't preclude using the Portal to bolster the roster.

Without Williams, the QB room at USC has, Miller Moss, a freshman, Mo Hassan a redshirt senior, and Keegan Patterson, a preferred walk-on.

This sort of analysis isn't part of the rhetoric from USC and Washington. Fight On, Bear Down.
