Oregon gave up three turnovers and was in the game till late, while Alabama got two turnovers and couldn't even score a touchdown. D'Anthony Thomas has had time to mature and learn how not to fumble. Oregon should play in NO before Bama.

Also, what success LSU had on offense against Bama was with speed around the outside / option. THAT is what Oregon does well.

Oregon would argue that LSU's defense is more athletic / faster than Bama's. Bama's D is HUGE and immoveable. But, Oregon would not try to attack them straight on.


Again, I am NOT suggesting Oregon is better. Just puzzling out the arguments that they would proffer.

Turnovers are still part of the game. If not for Claibourne's interception and return, Alabama probably wins the game 6-3. And Oregon wasn't in the game late. It was 40-20 with like 5 minutes left.
