5 bold predictions for the Oregon Ducks' 2022 season

It's officially game week for the Oregon Ducks. Saturday's highly-anticipated season-opener against the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs is less than a week away, and the Dan Lanning era is up and running in Eugene. With an entirely new coaching staff, an overhauled roster, and a new quarterback in place, Oregon will look drastically different in 2022 than it did under Mario Cristobal in previous seasons. Still, fans of the program have every reason to believe that the Ducks can compete for a Pac-12 title and possibly much, much more. The journey will start at Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta at 12:30 p.m. PT this Saturday. Until then, here are five bold predictions for how Oregon's season will unfold.
