Over/Under: Oregon's D-Line vs. ASU's O-Line

by 071903 on Nov 12, 2009 11:09 PM PST

Here is a fun poll question for the week: How many sacks will the Arizona State offensive line allow?

The Over/Under is set at 2.

Arizona State is allowing 1.67 sacks per game or 15 sacks in 9 games.

Oregon has sacked opponents 2.67 sacks per game or 25 sacks in 9 games.

Something has to give.

More fodder: Of Oregon's 25 sacks, 13 have come at home. Of ASU's 15 allowed sacks, 4 have come on the road.

With the lack of pressure on the QB vs. Stanfurd, does the Oregon defensive line and linebacking core have better success? Keep in mind, Stanfurd has only allowed six sacks all year. One could say that they have a pretty good offensive line. ASU is starting true freshman, Brock Osweiler at QB, who is 6' 8" and 237 pounds. That seems like a pretty good target to me.

GO DUCKS!!!!

While Oregon had problems with Stanford and USC, they are the best in the conference. Oregon has done an excellent job manhandling the rest of the conference, and I think that will continue tomorrow night.

Agreed. Hoping they will be fresh, though

I do feel that the bye week really helped Oregon face USC. We rely a lot on speed, and during our easier games, the offense gave the D a chance to rest. When the O is doing 3-and-outs, it gets much harder on them, even with their better conditioning.
