Oregon good but will never be great like Huskies were

If we're talking about the 1991 team greatness - they probably won't. If we're talking about overall program greatness they are pretty much already there.
 
Chip Kelly's 4 year run is better than any 4 year run the Huskies have ever had. Sad but true.
 
One could argue Oregon 2009-13 tops any 5 year stretch in UW history.

If we go by a single year, Oregon picks one team and UW picks one team, I think Oregon's team last year was the best Oregon team I've ever seen, with a healthy Mariota, DAT and the Chipper in charge. But the 1991 Washington team was better. That Defense really was as great as everyone says. I know its tough to compare eras, but Id say '91 UW beats '12 Oregon rather easily, say, 35-17?
 
They may never be as good as the 91 team.

Their program has already surpassed any stretch in UW history.

I know, others have already said it. But it's true.
 
I hate doing comparisons on teams/players from other decades.

The game is completely different today than it was 1991. In comparison to the competition at the time, yes, I would say 1991 Washington was more dominant. However, today, players are faster and stronger than ever, and new rules have also benefited offenses. But you can also argue that those 1991 UW defenses would be bigger and stronger today than they were then.

It's like comparing Montana to Brady, you can't. Same goes for NBA teams pre 2000's to now.

I hate to play the damn fence on this, but there is absolutely no comparison.

Easy chief... The 'run' ... Ok ...

But no cherry on top. Aside from that .. '91 with motivation would have put those dumb cunts in traction for 3 months. I was there. I knew some them. They were on another planet. They were good to go 24/7.

 
The 1991 Huskies never had to face a Ranked Oregon State though..........

Poont.

It would be wrong of someone to poast a thread at that other place axing Fleenor if Oregon's a better team than 91 UW since they play in such a better conference.

Oregon's best team was in 2010. They didn't give up a point in the 4th quarter until like the 9th or 10th week. They had a kicker, they had two stud running backs, were loaded at WR and TE, and the line was very deep. Darron Thomas was the most clutch kid I've ever seen. The more you sent at him and the bigger the moment he just got better. If I'm remembering right every LB in the two deep was either first team All-Conference or an NFL pick.

The defense held Can Newton in check for four quarters. No way in hell a ball control offense scores 35 on that team, not in 8 quarters. The same way Fairley was a little too much to handle Empterman would have been the same way. That UW team could have beaten Oregon that year but it would have been low scoring and who knows what would have happened. I'd pay to see it, that's for sure.

Why do you hate Dennis Dixon's hypothetical Heisman Natty combo?

When DD was healthy the Ducks were the best team in the country that year and their offense was ridiculous. The defense wasn't all that great though. 2010 was the shark jump, so far.
