On Houston as well at +15, not as crazy about it now that it's dipped to 14, but I think a true line here is 11 or 12. The Cougs probably have more widespread talent on the field this season than last, but the line is inflated because there's no "name" at QB. I can't remember another team in recent history returning a RB who averaged over 10 ypr and had as many carries as Alridge had last season, the receivers are explosive, and the defense is certainly going to be better, especially the secondary. And, while I think Oregon will eventually be a solid team, they have question marks as well, all starting with Dixon's stupid offseason decisions. Too many points here, even with the officiating advantage Oregon is known to have in these non-conference home games.
