Oregon on the other hand has a newly constructed OL which hasn't had a lot of playing time together. This I think will severely limit what they can accomplish on offense. As Oregon is unaccustomed to this they will attempt to open it up, which will lead to turnovers.

I wouldn't call the line newly constructed. Weems started 7 including the Tennessee, Stanford and Auburn games. York and Asper have started for the past two seasons. It's certainly up for debate how limited they will be.

Oregon's playbook is actually very simple but executed well. Darron threw very few ints and will have experience in big games...cool cucumber. I don't see many turnovers.

Back to the oline, I think Clanton may be our best overall talent. The two new peices will give us a lift athletically and strength wise.

I think they'll be solid, but they won't have had enough experience playing as a unit to gel. As I said, if it weren't game 1, I wouldn't be nearly as confident.
