Probably. But I love the philosophy. Mike Belotti knows Oregon can't recruit the huge pro-style linemen that USC gets. Instead they recruit speed. The Ducks are fast at every position. They score quickly and often. The defense is fast, but undersized. They can get overpowered. Both starting cornerbacks had season ending injuries early. That hurt.

In short, Oregon may not get back to the Rose Bowl very often, but they are a FUN team to watch.
