ESPN article ...headline of their CFB page today.

Just keep the Duck's name front and center in the media, please.

From the article:

Oregon, a premier college football program just a few years ago, is crawling back, and Cristobal senses urgency within the program. With a struggling Pac-12 wide open and Oregon holding arguably the conference's most talented roster, it feels like championship or bust in Eugene.

To which I say...duh!

Also:

If you're going to compete with the best, you have to know what the best are like -- inside and out. So this spring, Cristobal and his staff went to Alabama and Georgia to take a deep dive into the DNA of two programs operating at the highest level in the sport to see how Oregon compared.

Cristobal soaked up the practices, meetings and atmosphere with Nick Saban and Kirby Smart like a giant sponge. He studied the bodies, movement and speed of the SEC athletes in Tuscaloosa and Athens, silently comparing them to the physical makeup of his own team.

Before Cristobal and his staff left Southern soil, he came away with an exciting realization.

"We've closed the gap considerably," Cristobal said. "We have gained so much ground toward what we want to be."


This is a good read.
