With Caleb Williams returning to USC, Michael Pennix Jr. returning to UW, and Cameron Rising returning to Utah, Oregon could have been in a fix if their own elite quarterback from 2022 hadn’t elected to don the green and yellow one final time.
Fortunately, he decided to do just that.
Bringing back one of the top quarterbacks in the country, Oregon should be an offensive powerhouse in 2023.
Of course, there have been other times when they were an offensive powerhouse…until they lost their starting QB.
Not everyone can have the fortune (or recruiting prowess) of 2014 Ohio State, who infamously clobbered Oregon in the National Championship game with their third string QB.
