The one thing the 49-game streak and last year’s three blowout wins over Oregon did was to get the Ducks’ total attention.

“We’ve been chasing Arizona, and we still are,” Oregon coach Dana Altman said. “This is a program that sets the standard in our league and still is.”

Altman has been the master of resourcefulness in his years at Oregon, building, rebuilding and re-rebuilding with significant roster turnovers year to year. Only Miller can match Altman in year-to-year roster management, but this time, having lost Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Stanley Johnson, T.J. McConnell and Brandon Ashley at the same time, is more than even Miller can bandage.

“When we recruit players, one of the first things we ask is, ‘Can they help us win the league championship?’ and ‘Can they help us beat Arizona?’ ” Altman said.

Yes and yes.

Dorsey, Brooks, Benjamin and Cook are terrific college players. The Ducks have three more top prospects in the class of 2016. A year from now, it’s going to be quite a crowd at the top of the Pac-12; Oregon, Arizona, Washington, UCLA and USC all have the look of Top 25 powers.
