While the national narrative is all about the difficult adjustment of breaking in a new quarterback, the critics are missing the big story: Oregon's offensive line could boost this offense up to 88 miles an hour.
Today the Oregon football office announced that THREE of Oregon's offensive linemen were named to the Outland Trophy Watch List, center Iapani Laloulu, left tackle Isaiah World and guard Emmanuel Pregnon.
Pregnon and Laloulu didn't allow a sack in 2024. The 6-8, 309 World posted an 82.3 pass blocking grade.
Coupled with the other three experienced veterans in the Oregon line rotation, Texas State transfer Alex Harkey, 6-6, 330, reliable, versatile guards Matthew Bedford and Dave Iuli, this is a drive train that should move people off the ball.
