2008 Oregon Football Preview:
Head Coach: Mike Bellotti
Head Coach Mike Bellotti has got his Ducks all in a row for 2008. Bellotti was named to the Paul "Bear" Bryant College Football Coach of the Year award in 2007, and not just for twiddling his thumbs. Last year, the team reached as high as #2 in the national rankings before their season slowly declined to injuries. With hopeful standouts Jeremiah Johnson (RB) and Jaison Williams (WR) returning to the team this season, the 2008 Oregon Ducks are ready to best last year's record of 9-4, and are looking for another postseason appearance.
The Ducks will have pressure to strike early with defense this season, to give their offense the footing it needs to play solid all year long. Regardless of who's returning, this program is going to perform under Bellotti, and Oregon fans will be cheering louder than ever this season. Be sure to catch the season closer versus Oregon State, as Oregon looks to avenge last year's loss that cut their streak in the rivalry.
