WHY #2
The Ducks have came a long way in the past 10 years. Thanks Phil Knight---just kidding. No Chip Kelly installed the fastest offensive pace I have ever seen last year. I expect fully for that pace to be the same if not faster this year. I also think that the 45.5 ppg average that we saw last year could really keep going. They might get to 50 ppg this year. Defense on the other hand will be not so good. Only 5 Returning starters from a defense that made some plays when it needed to but did allow big plays. The offense is so hard to contain. I see two major games on the road to a pac 12 championship the opener vs LSU and at Stanford nov. 12th. If the Ducks get by LSU I see 11-1 at the least. I just feel like it is super hard to repeat undefeated regular seasons because the attrition is a factor. ROSE BOWL at a Minimum but once again serious National Title implications live in Eugene
