Message: [QUOTE="Floridaduck, post: 3763060, member: 9811"] Edit-Floridaduck's comment so flustered me, I did some research. Oregon has exactly 4 players who played previous to this year, with 1 (Mikesell) elsewhere. That means they have a grand total of 80 combined starts for Oregon (76 by Boley). Meanwhile, Stanford, returns 10 Players with 254 starts combined. But yeah, Oregon is as experienced as Stanford...:confused: [/QUOTE] Sorry to confuse you. The comment I quibbled about was "deeper". I also posted that [B]Stanford depth is more experienced (by far)[/B] and the Card is certainly favored to win the Pac 12. Oregon does appear to have 12 players capable of playing successfully at the Pac 12 level. As does Stanford. Two very deep benches giving both coaches injury insurance, versatility, and match up combinations. Stanford has the more experienced bench and players have been coached up and played together enough to mesh on offense and defense. As a team [B]Oregon is a work in progress[/B] that way. But that doesn't negate the fact that Oregon is 12 deep... equal in depth, not less deep. We'll see how it all works out. Stanford is #1 and the Pac-12 favorite without a doubt. [/QUOTE]
