A year ago, the Ducks gave up 62 points to Utah, 722 yards to Arizona State, 641 yards to Washington State and wasted a 31-0 lead to TCU in the Alamo Bowl and lost. They hired former Michigan coach Brady Hoke to fix the defense, but it remains uncertain if coach Mark Helfrich can hang with the big boys unless he has most of the talent.
1.Β The Ducks lost four games in 2015, the first such total since 2007. On paper, the Ducks donβt appear to have a first-team all-conference defensive player, and maybe not a second-team pick, either.
