While I really don't disagree with what rivals had to say in their article critiquing the ducks I suppose I just don't understand after all of their explanation they rated our offense a B, I mean really? I understand the genuine concern for the offensive line but the only certainties in Eugene Oregon of late have been rain, hippies, and the offensive line. It just seems in the system we run our O-line is if not great at the very least efficient. The same reason I found no surprise our touted defensive backfield underachieved. In fact the antithesis of the Secondary is our Offensive line. No matter who we have thrown in as a converted center or a makeshift tackle things seem to work themselves out. In contrast we can have the best safeties and D-backs on paper and very easily have "cough" Nick Aliotti" "cough" royally screw things up. Maybe this is opinion I share by myself as I chew on the things I need not worry about for another good month, but I thought i'd share this and open it up for opinions.

We thrive on not being respected
This year is no different.

underdog role
I actually would be happier to be overlooked than overhyped…hope we are overlooked initially then prove to the nation our mettle
I cannot wait for TJ Ward to "legally" meet Kellen Moore in September...Karma Anyone?

Sorry
But if you beat Boise State to start the season, there will be no overlooking. That hype machine will be rolling in Eugene

not worried about the pre-season ranking
After September, I am hoping it will be pretty clear where we stand.

One way or another that’s usually the case. September, good or bad, is tough to shake.

Not in the last few years
But yes since 2000 there have been a number of years where Oregon finished higher than expected.
That being said, don’t expect that to continue. Everyone now knows who the University of Oregon. They will be overlooked no more.

It all comes down to the definition.
