2012 NCAA Football Thread

I expect USC to have one of the most complete offenses this year, and to make a run for the national title. I don't expect them to get past Oregon though.

Thats tough. I DO think usc will be good this year and they really needed a running back. If u look at usc's recruits or even just starters i think they look better then the ducks. Usc vs ducks is in California this year. Usc was also able to beat oregon at oregon! A rare feat!

Im obviously an Oregon fan. But as u can tell, i think that one is gonna be tough. That game is towards the end of the year. Lets see how Oregons rookie qb does this year. And.. how good kenyon barner performs. Hell, we dont even know whos starting at QB.

We do have the recruit we stole from usc though. Deanthony Thomas.... that man has one HELL of a youtube highlight reel!

 

Your offense is based more on running and speed, rather than passing. I wouldn't be worried too much there. Oregon will still be able to out score just about anyone this next season. It will be a close game, and I don't like betting this far in advance, but I think the Ducks will be better than the condoms.

 

I think they will get past Oregon with no problems...oregon is good but lacking in the tough D department, but that's typical of PAC teams...

 

Stolen from the funny picture thread.

 

Oregon has a defense that can stop offenses. It doesn't have to be great, it just needs to be enough.

 

You mean like LSU, USCw, Auburn, and the like?

 

I watched small bits of the Mizzou replay just to see how they looked and because nothing else was on. Their QB did look to have some moves and saw a LB make a big hit behind the line but aside from that considering they were playing an unranked team they didn't show me much to worry about. But not to say I'm underestimating them, they will be fired up and we need to be ready and jump on them quick.

 

You do understand Oregon gave up less yards per play against LSU than Alabama did right? Oregon doesn't have a bad D. They have a great D. The problem with playing against other PAC-12 and BIG-10 schools is that they play a lot of high powered offense. And, the last 2 years Oregon has been near the top in allowed yards per game? Our defense is exactly what it needs to be. Yes it could be better, but I would say it will be one of the top D's in the nation this year.

 

LSU is the only team up there that had a fantastic defense.

 

I think so, too. Let's hope we are ready... Am not sure that their QB will be 100%....

 

You mean like Michigan State, Boise St, South Carolinax2, LSU, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Auburn, and UCF since we are comparing the past 2 years and all

 

True, but they all won, did they not? Meaning, they weren't stopped when it counted...

 

Are you so sure that O could get through all that undefeated? And, when y'all played auburn, they had a 60 something ranked D...

 

What did all of those teams have in common? A fantastic offense. LSU has one of the most dominating and Physical running based offenses ever. Auburn had Scam Newton and USC has Matt Barkley. The USC-Oregon game could have gone either way

 

And Oregon lost by 3 points on a fluke play. They did stop him actually. Plus, the score was pretty low compared to what they had been doing to people. 22-19 is a pretty good score for that game if I do say so.

 

To who? The PAC? Not trying to be an ass, but the PAC is very, very weak...

 

Correct, dear sir... But...
