Oregon Ducks Football: 2023 game-by-game staff predictions
We just started.
TrojansWire is four years old. Then came DucksWire and ColoradoBuffaloesWire is the baby of the family. But this will be the final season we are all together in the Pac-12 as Oregon and USC move to the Big Ten and Colorado goes back to the Big XII.
So in one last hurrah, we all got together to discuss what will happen with our teams in this final Pac-12 season. TrojansWire editor Matt Zemek, writer Matt Wadleigh, BuffalosWire editor Jack Carlough and of course, DucksWire editor Zac Neel and I talked about how 2023 was going to shape up.
We gave our predictions for each team and the final Pac-12 standings. Here’s how we each think Oregon’s season will go game-by-game. There was a consensus in the obvious games, but when it came to the USC, Washington, and even OSU games, there was a difference of opinion.
No matter what, 2023 promises to be one memorable season for all of us.
