Honestly, one QB injury takes a lot of teams down.  In many ways it was impressive that Oregon lost Thomas for a few weeks and did not slow down one bit.  Remember, this was to be Masoli\'s team.  So Thomas was #2 and Costa was #3.

So Oregon\'s system seems quite capable of working with non-#1s.  From the Oregon side it sounds like they really do not want to burn a year of eligibility.  My guess is that the team is more than capable of beating the three Pac-10 teams left on their schedule with or without Thomas.

The problem might be that they win ugly and fall out of the BCS Championship game.
