Have you forgotten that you lost to a redshirt freshman QB in your own stadium?

Let me remind you that you were beaten soundly by Arizona. On both sides of the ball. This game was more lopsided than the score reflected. Your defense gave up nearly 500 yards of total offense. Oregon was held to less than 100 rushing yards in between the tackles that game. You were nearly beaten by Washington State.

Because Mariota has exorcised his demons against Stanford, the media seems to forgive that game against Arizona. Arizona is a team that nearly lost to UTSA, Nevada and won a hail mary against Cal. This isn't a team you should lose to at home.

This is why I don't believe Oregon will take down the SEC. And for those reasons, I'm out.

Conveniently you forget that Pierson and Crosby were our only tackles out of entire 3 deep available for WSU and Arizona. Those two are a true frosh and walk on getting their first extensive action.

Also, teams that spread us out or causing our defense the most problems. Bama is actually a good match up for us and probably a better than Miss State. Our DE are 290 and NT 315 and the linebackers are too big for the spread. We held Michigan State, Utah and Stanford to some of their lowest rushing totals.

We actually match up much better against ground and pound teams.
