Oregon has looked seemingly unbeatable after the questions brought about by this season’s opening game against Georgia, and now they’re the favorites to win the Pac-12.

Just how good could this Ducks team be in 2022 and how would they match up with the seven teams ranked ahead of them right now? (Even without WR Seven McGee.)

On today’s episode of Locked On Ducks, I go through a bevy of mailbag questions about Oregon’s potential this year and what they could achieve.

Is their defense a limiting factor being that they’re in the bottom third of the Pac-12 in defensive statistics?

Auburn Football recently fired Bryan Harsin, and fresh off the Mario Cristobal departure it’s reasonable to ask about Oregon’s staff as potential targets for the Tigers.

OC Kenny Dillingham spent a year at Auburn (with Bo Nix in 2019), but more than one factor might settle the minds of some Oregon fans as to whether or not he could be poached away by Auburn.
