PAC 10 Conference - Oregon Ducks Preview
The Ducks will have a much different look to them in '06. QB Dennis Dixon is ready to prove he's worthy of running the Ducks attack behind an O-Line that returns completely intact. The powerful and talented RB Jonathan Stewart will now be Oregon's #1 offensive threat since the WR corps loses its top two pass catchers from last season.
Overall, the Ducks still field a potent group but it will need to adjust to life without a couple studs early on. The defense loses a number of impact players from last season. The LB corps is the most talented of the group, and the secondary boasts a pair of heavy hitters in FS JD Nelson and Rover Patrick Chung. Still, the losses up front will make their jobs that much harder and a decline in their defensive stats is expected.

The Ducks look solid with their specialty unit as K Paul Martinez returns as does P Matt Dragich, but the magic occurred in the kick return game where Jonathan Stewart simply led the country averaging almost 34 yards a return. He also took two back to the house. A second tiered bowl game looks to be in the cards for HC Bellotti and his squad, but brighter things are just around the corner for Oregon's program with this being such a young squad.
