A True All-Decade Oregon Team (Offense)

Long overdue that I do that I revisit, and edit this piece.

Since I wrote the first version, I have graduated HS, and enrolled in college. And watch one of the greatest seasons of footballs ever. The drastic turnaround from 4-8, to 12-2. With a few differences in formatting between the two, I will leave a link to 2010-18’s list, and have 2010-2020, to truly have an all-decade team.

(2010-20 list)


QBs: Mariota, Herbert, Thomas

Cannot replace Mariota as QB1. Simple. The hometown hero and San Diego Charger rookie QB came really close, and is giving the 2015 Heisman trophy winner a run for his money. No change to depth otherwise.


RBs: LaMicheal James, Kenjon Barner, Verdell/Dye

WOAH, a change in running backs?! Personally, the tandem of Verdell and Dye had done it for me. The perfect pairing of backs in the perfect offensive system. *chef kisses*


SBs: Johnny Johnson III, DeAnthony Thomas

To be technical, JJIII played outside receiver as well, but for my sake and mental well being, I’m putting him as a slot back. Johnson had a stand out year, and was a huge key in this year's passing game. A consistent target for Herbert, giving injuries were a huge problem with Oregon’s offensive, but talent depth wasn’t anywhere close to a problem.


WRs: I can’t.

I can name off every great receiver, but I cannot simply put them in an order and keep it to 5. I will give five, and leave it up for debate.

Jeff Meahl, Dillon Mitchell, Byron Marshall, Josh Huff, Darren Carrington II.

Please help.


TEs: Pharaoh Brown, Spencer Webb

I gave Spencer Webb the advantage over David Paulson because he was a freshman and played nine games, with a big time catch in the season opener vs. Auburn on a neutral field. I also liked him more than Paulson, and this is my list. I’m already giving you control over the WRs.


LTs:Penei Sewell, Tyler Johnstone

LGs: Shane Lemiuex, Kyle Long

Cs: Hroniss Grasu, Jake Hanson

RGs: Dallas Warmack, Calvin Throckmorten
RTs: Brady Aiello, Tyrell Crosby

It’s a lot easier to talk about the line as a whole.

I kept the same starting line from this year, cause holy sh*t it was a good year, besides the center, and for good reason.


A lot of big changes had come to Oregon since Oct 2nd, 2018. I had also done more research, and really made this list my own.


The only depth chart category to not change was QBs. Maybe in a year or two, I can change that.


Feel free to debate in the comments.
