Stanford's defense has been stellar so far, but Oregon presents a whole new level of challenge.  If they manage to put up 35 or 40 on us I don't see our offense being able to match that.  I think our defense is quite capable of holding Oregon under that number, but if the offense is going three and out it's tough to keep coming back on the field and contain them.  They are so explosive they can score from anywhere on the field.  It only takes one blown assignment to offset a few outstanding defensive series.
