Good programs recruit, develop, and keep going. This shit isn't hard. I could go into the RB's, WR's, TE's, OL's and every other position. Good players come to Oregon, do well, and they are replaced by good players. That's what happens at good programs.
If your metric is Oregon wasn't 12-2 with a conference title, Heisman trophy, Rose Bowl Win and NC appearance this year as a downward trend you're a fucking retard. Oregon was on a rebuild at QB, OL, and in the secondary this year and finished with six consecutive conference wins.
When was the last time UW won six consecutive conference games? 91?
