It has been interesting to see how many people discount the Ducks now that Chip Kelly is gone to coach in the NFL. Oregon was?considered?by many to be the most likely team to take down Alabama's reign before Kelly left.?Now, they've taken a backseat to Stanford in the Pac-12 North in the minds of many, including ESPN.com's Mark Schlabach.?
As good of a coach as Kelly is, may I remind everyone that many thought that Stanford would fall off the radar once Jim Harbaugh and then Andrew Luck left for the NFL. A Rose Bowl win later, it hasn't happened.
Besides, Oregon still has some of the most explosive offensive players in Marcus Mariota and De'Anthony Thomas. And the new head coach, Mark Helfrich, knows a thing or two about this offense as he was the offensive coordinator here since 2009.
Just don't be surprised if Oregon does as well as people thought they would before Kelly left.
