Re: 2019-2020 Oregon Duck Record Prediction Thread
I do think having the injury bug early is concerning, but looking back at the season Dixon went down, it might be a mixed blessing.
That season, it seemed like one or two high level players went down every week, including the bulk of the WR corps, leading up to Dixon. (WR Paysinger, knee, Game 4. RB Jeremiah Johnson,knee, and WR Colvin, ankle, Game 7. Dixon knee failed against Arizona, Nate Costa had injured his knee in the pre-season. Brady Leaf injured himself early against UCLA, and Oregon was down to using redshirt freshman QBs.)
Oregon didn't have a decent back up QB prepared and developed, and it resulted in a multi-game slide.
This time around, we have an opportunity to get the growing pains out of the way NOW, rather than watching the hopes of a successful season ground to mincemeat.
Here's hoping for a very positive outcome.

Re: 2019-2020 Oregon Duck Record Prediction Thread
I am going with 9-3. Losses to Auburn, UW, and USC. The common denominator is all on the road. Arroyo has not shown the capability to coach effectively on the road. The team was flat against WSU, Utah, and Arizona. One game on the road like that should have been a wake up call for the team. I would love to be wrong, but I need to actually see that they are competing on the road. This will be a make or break season for Cristobal. If the team struggles on the road again then the rest of the Pac 12 will highlight that Oregon will never win it all, because can not win on the road. The difference between a good team and a great team is the great teams can take a punch in the gut and challenges of playing on the road and still find a way to win the game. Oregon scored a total of 15 points in the first half against WSU, Utah, and Arizona. 3 games and 15 points in the first half, all on the road. Not going to win very many games with that kind of lack of productivity.

I think Oregon will outplay Auburn but Auburn will get two garbage touchdowns due to Oregon defensive miscommunications, just to be expected with a new DC and a bunch of talented freshmen. And with the WR injuries, I don't think Oregon's offense will produce enough against Auburn's nasty defense to overcome that. I think it'll be 24-27 Auburn. And ASU, I think they're gonna be better and will be improving over the next few years. Herm Edwards is instilling a mean attitude into that culture and I have a feeling this will be a night game. Pac-12 after dark in ASU just is a scary combo to me. I think ASU will catch Oregon off-guard that game and win a close one.

Damn, I've gotten Oregon's record correct quite a few times (Predicted 8-4 last year), but I think this is the first time I predicted all of the games right. I doubt that happens again in my lifetime!
