The Daily Emerald has an article about the defensive line, and how they're approaching the Michigan game. Says Cole Linehan:
The fact that Michigan runs a far more orthodox running game than Houston is the biggest cause for hope this weekend. You won't have all the linebackers going after the fullback fake while the QB pitches it outside. But if they can't tackle better, it won't even matter.
They also talked to Kwame Agyeman about the noise at the Big House:
The Ducks don't really think that noise will be a factor.
The Register-Guard also has a similar article, which gives a stat that is cause for alarm:
Hart, who carries the ball in his left hand, has fumbled just three times in his entire career, twice in 2006 and once in 2004. One of last year's bobbles was recovered by a teammate, and the other one was knocked out of the end zone for a safety, so his only lost fumble came during his freshman campaign.
Turnovers, at least in the running game, aren't going to save our ass in this one. They're just flat out going to have to tackle better.
