Sorry, not enough. Nor size. This bowl game will be competitive for about 32 minutes.

If Oregon cannot run the football they will get blown out.

I actually think Oregon's game is a good match for auburn's D and plays to their strength.


Yes. Auburn's D sells out to the run and FORCES you to throw on our 'poor' secondary. Then once you are in a 1-d offense (e.g. pass only) we bring the pressure on the QB. It is only then (usually in the 2nd half) that our D starts getting 'better'.

I don't know about a blow out. It really depends on how the 2ndary holds up. If they can't run and only have mild success stopping our offense, then it will be a good game for Auburn.

Oregon only played one team this year that really looked to shut their run down in Cal. They were horrible and still almost beat them because Oregon could not run the football. The two good defensive teams they played last year (Boise and OSU) both beat them pretty easily. Auburn stops the run well so they should be able to pull away from them at some point.

When people say Oregon has team speed they generally mean they have speed at wide receiver and running back, which is generally enough to make the average (shitty) pac 10 team look bad.
