Head Coach Willie Taggart has built his Coaching Staff from the ground up, which brings some additional intrigue for the 2017 Oregon Football Team. How well they do out of the gate will likely be a key factor in if the National Media will pay attention to Oregon.
Other teams have been looking for the spotlight in the Pac-12 in recent seasons. Last year it was Washington and UCLA that took it from an Oregon team having a down year, the first in a long time costing Mark Helfrich his job.
With the talent that the Oregon Ducks have on the roster, they will be competitive.
