I'm certainly no sports better, but if I was, there would be NO WAY I would bet on the opening game especially when we had record NFL drafts.
Do I think we'll be very good or better? Yes. Am I quite confident we will dominate all season? No, not yet. There's ALWAYS at least one team that is expected to be in the Top 5 that winds up unranked by the end of the year (or at least pretty low in the rankings).
I trust Smart, but it's been awhile since I've seen us with a true "powerhouse" offense. We wouldn't have won the NC without our D last year... not even close.
Again, very hopeful and positive and I think we'll win, but not sure if we'll win by 2 TDs against a Top 25 team.
I liked the effort and spirit Coach Lanning taught the defense last year, He did a good job with a very talented team. I wish him luck in his new position. He clearly deserved a chance to be head coach. AS far as the Ducks beating THE DAWGS in the opener, sorry ain't gonna happen! GO DAWGS, BEAT EVERYBODY!
I have now gone through enough counseling that I believe I can talk about this game.
Clearly not ready for a national title caliber team. First game, new coach, new qb, new everything. Not 1 person on the staff was there last year.
I accept that I am a Duck Fanboy. Good game, go Ducks.
