The strength of this team was never their defense. It is about their offense outscoring you no matter how much you put up. The biggest key to that is their tempo which gets started with you guessed it, their offensive line. You could have the best QB, RB, WR & TE of all time, the truth will always be that if you can't protect, you just can't win long term period.
tuff loss for oregon, zona played well but tuff loss...i did not play the game and only watched the second half but to me it seemed Oregon was very flat, i saw little emotion which was odd after a week off....injuries are something every one deals with and that is why that depth is so important ( as i have always stated i felt oregon weakness was line but they got much better this year, depth hurt them ) I just think they came out flat looking ahead to ucla then a few weeks after that stanford. I think before the year is over it is possible everyone will have one loss and if they can take care of UCLA and then Stanford they will be in it at year end. Does not matter if ranked 1,2,3 or 4 .. they all get in. I would not give up on this team, they will be there at the end of the year.
