I'm confident you all know I bleed yellow and green, so here's some numbers...
Miles is 29-1 in non-conference play, 11-1 against non-conference BCS opponents.
Miles is 15-3 in games that his team has a week or more to prepare; that includes season openers, bye weeks and bowl games. Kelly is 5-3.
Miles has NEVER lost a season opener. Kelly is 1-1. Experienced linemen are the cornerstone of dominant college football, and Oregon must replace nearly 70% of its starting linemen from 2010.
There is perhaps no unit in our sport that takes longer to gel than the offensive line, and the Ducks shuffled out three of their starting five. It would be good if Oregon had a seasoned wide receiving corps to take pressure off these new replacements, however, the Ducks must also replace both starting wideouts.
On defensive, Oregon will be without starting CB Cliff Harris who is suspended for the LSU game. Harris is not only one of the Ducks’ leading returning tacklers but is also one of the nation's best punt returners. As big of a blow as that is for the defense, more so is the fact that Oregon must replace three of its starting four defensive linemen.
Meanwhile, even with the injury to Dworaczyk, LSU returns eight of its ten offensive linemen – nearly all are upperclassmen, and all eight were redshirted. For years they have been playing together in a conference that celebrates talented, quick defensive linemen like perhaps no other in America.
They will face arguably the most inexperienced Oregon defensive line in years; as a unit, it has only 16 starts to its credit.
