What does Oregon have that other teams haven't?Â
1. A spread offense that emphasizes the run
2. A QB that is a running threat
3. An offensive line that holds with impunity and is hardly ever called for it
4. A coach that will take risks at any point in the game, anywhere on the field
5. Ability to make Andrew Luck throw interceptions
OSU probably has a bit of #5 and #4, but I don't see them having 1-3. If Weeden runs the zone read, Stanford is toast. :P
Gundy is not the type that takes risks often, but OSU does lead the nation in interceptions so I think we are better at forcing picks that UO.Â
I think you'll be surprised at our offensive line. It is a strength of our team year in and year out, and this years line is senior laden.Â
