This unprecedented aerial proficiency led to the most balanced attack Oregon has had …
Ever since the massive re-birth of the Oregon Ducks football program under Chip Kelly, things have been steady. What Kelly did for the program seemed like the right move at the time, and it was.

As soon as the clock hit zero, the uncertainty kicked in. While Ohio State was celebrating its 8th national championship, the Oregon Ducks walked off the AT&T Stadium field with their heads down.

Tennessee Titans The first team on this list is most likely place that Mariota will go on draft day.

It’s time for people to start attributing the success of the Ducks to the big guys on the offensive line.
