LF -Oregon may be hard to figure. No question there were locker room and off the field issues that will need to be resolved. And, while their front line players - particularly on offense - are formidable, they do have depth issues particularly on defense, that may need a couple of good recruiting classes to resolve.
At this point the coaching staff appears to be entirely new, so there will be challenges with all new playbooks, schemes, & terminology so I'd expect some growing pains at least early in 2017, if not the whole year. OTOH, I wouldn't be surprised to see them run up 50 points a couple of times next fall. Following how they close on recruiting this year may be instructive on how quickly they may be getting back up to their peak years.,
