re: I'm curious to see Chavis gameplan against Oregon

I think the key to stopping Oregon/any spread team is the same as stopping any other type of offense. Blow up the middle of the line and create disruption in the backfield. If you do this and can play tight on the outside to stop the quick hitch and speed option you can really limit what that system can do.

I think that has some credibility. It seems like when opponents can penetrate enough to hinder the option execution the Oregon offense gets slowed down a bit.
The variable is that given the propensity for big plays (8-15 yards) the offense really can get blown up on one or two plays and still get first downs. This is different than lots of traditonal pro style offenses. For the Ducks third and 10 will still be a running play if they choose. This makes it difficult for defenses that like to change coverage based on down and yardage. That plus, the no offensive substitutions, means no defensive substitutions. So the defense is stuck with what they have on the field.
