If there's a cause for optimism with this group, it would be that working a full, uninterrupted year with Mirabal, Cristobal and Feld will improve their cohesion, conditioning, technique and pad level.
As Scott points out, Penei Sewell is the gold standard in terms of playing early and dominating, but Oregon's had a few others who have played well early (descriptions from their goducks.com bios):
Jake Fisher 2012 The first-year starter opened 11 games at right tackle while appearing in all 13 games his sophomore season…
Tyrell Crosby 2014 — Made the most of his opportunities as a true freshman, coming off the bench to take part in 40 snaps in the season-opening win vs. South Dakota before injuries along the front line helped open the door for nine starting assignments at right and left tackle - including the final six outings.
Tyler Johnstone 2012 — Afforded Freshman All-America acclaim after making his collegiate debut in season’s opening win vs. Arkansas State and remained as a left tackle starter for all 13 games
