Defensively, Oregon is fairly stout for a Pac-10 outfit. Statistically, they’re 27th in the country in total D, but just 44th in scoring D and have given up 19+ points in 9 games this year. They are vulnerable where Ohio State is strong, having given up 14 touchdowns on the ground and holding only four opponents to fewer than 100 yards rushing. If the Ohio State offensive line plays as well as it did against Iowa and Penn State, the ground game might be a walk in the park. If I had confidence that Ohio State could do anything through the air against pretty much anyone, I’d be much more confident about predicting a win.
Much more previewing and predicting to come between the two fanbases.

Statistics
What was the famous quote about statistics?
If OSU coaches evaluate the Ducks the way you just did – the Ducks are home free. There’s no way to compare the brand of ball played in the Pac 10, either offensively or defensively, with a national average.
