Happy New Year!

This is the kind of new news you want to start your year off with:

[Blout] had one carry through three quarters, and seemed in danger of not matching Johnson’s 1,000-yard season.

“I wasn’t frustrated at all,” Blount said. “Because I’m going to be back next year and be the premier back, just like he was this year.”

I've been saying it for nine months now. Next This year may just be the year for the Ducks. We've got a tough schedule, with Boise State on the road (in China?) and Utah at home, but we also have USC, Cal, ASU and OSU at home. We lose a lot off the offensive and defensive lines, but I think we have the guys to fill those slots. Many skill players back and Masoli just look fantastic at the end of the year. Blount coming back is a huge piece of the puzzle. Early next year in Pasadena?
