OUTLOOK
Never, in the history of the
University of Oregon, has the
Ducks' football team entered
the first AP poll of the season
in the Top 5 (AP poll started
in 1936). Despite losing the
Rose Bowl game to end the 2009
season, there was a great chance
this team would have made that
preseason ranking had star quarterback
Jeremiah Masoli not been suspended
for the entire 2010 season for
disciplinary reasons. The first
on the list to replace Masoli
is Senior Nate Costa, who was
able to play as a backup last
season after undergoing major
surgeries on both knees. He
definitely knows the offense,
and got a win in his only start
-- against UCLA, when Masoli
was injured. There is also Darron
Thomas, a sophomore who was
able to redshirt last season
after being forced into action
as a true freshman. He came
off the bench against Boise
State to complete 13 of 25 passes
for 210 yards and three touchdowns.
Both fit the spread-option offense,
although the quarterback run
game might not be as emphasized.
This is certainly a Top 10 preseason
team for 2010 (the Ducks last
AP Top 10 preseason ranking
was at No. 7 in 2001). This
offense has found its groove
spreading defenses out and then
running with the football. One
of the main stalwarts responsible
for making the ground game go,
RB LaMichael James (2009 Pac
Ten Freshman of the Year), is
back looking for bigger rewards
in just his sophomore campaign.
He will continue to slash through
holes created by an offensive
line that loses no one. Coach
Kelly is stacked with the right
props to work his magic. With
nine starters set to come back,
the defense should be that much
stronger, especially after the
secondary spent most of 2009
trying to fill holes left by
injury. The Ducks will be heavily
favored to repeat as Pac Ten
Champions; with a little luck,
they may be playing for more
in 2010. Stating that the loss
of Masoli put a damper on national
expectations would be an understatement.
