re: Oregon jumping FSU is proof that voters don't actually watch games

quote:

---

UCLA outplayed Oregon in the first half

---

To the tune of a 0 point lead

Oregons D held a QB who some people floated out as a potential 1st round pick this year to under 65 yards passing, keeping them 200 yards under their average per game.

Given that the D is what everyone rags on, for their first big game they passed with flying colours.

quote:

I watched the entire first half. Neither team did shite offensively. UCLA scored off of turnovers and Oregon scored off a gimmicky fake punt. Overall the game did not look like a contest between highly ranked teams. I still think Oregon would get stomped by Bama or FSU but I guess we'll see. Unless they choke before then like they do almost every season.

---

Yeah, we choked against Stanford.

Having watched Oregon and their defense, I say with full confidence that their D would not be able to stop Alabama once. Oregon would have a good deal of success offensively, but they wouldn't score every drive against Saban and Smart.



IMO Bama (or FSU) would beat Oregon something like 56-35

Bama/FSU would be a much better game.

quote:

---

How would Oregon possibly put up 35 on Bama?

---

Kinda similar to how A&M put 42

Oregon's vertical scheme is something Bama has never seen before. I think that in itself is something Bama has never seen before.

And my only point about A&M is that Alabama's defense obviously has vulnerabilities

SEC! SEC! SEC!

For frick's sake we have a top 10 defense.

quote:

---

For frick's sake your size is absolutely laughable. And you miss more tackles per play than Bama has in the last 5 years.

---

Where are we small? Let alone laughably small.

Where are we small?

LOL. Let's look at your front seven.

POSITION NAME WEIGHT
DE Hart 287
DE Washington 243
DT Keliikipi 306
DT Havili-Heimuli 314
LB Malone 208
LB Lokombo 232
LB Walker 225

Avg LB weight: 221.7


Now compare it to SEC teams:

Alabama
DE Pagan 290
DE Stinson 292
NG Ivory 310
LB Hubbard 252
LB Dickson 265
LB DePriest 245
LB Mosley 232

Average LB weight: 248.5

Auburn's average LB weight is 243
Florida's is 232

I googled Oregon depth chart.


Anyways I seent it with my eyes. Just watch an SEC defense then quickly flip over to see Oregon's D. The size difference is very obvious.

quote:

---

how did that "SEC defense" size work for Tennessee?

---

Horribly. Alabama won 42-10, their 7th victory in a row in this rivalry

quote:

---

Since you keep saying "SEC defense" - why are you leaving them out of it?

---

Because that would be like saying Alabama is gonna beat Oregon because of Colorado. It makes no sense.

quote:

---

Or does everyone in the SEC not have Bama's D?

---

Obviously not

quote:

---

Because you sure act like they do.

---

Not really. I was just pointing out the typical competition Bama faces and has success against. And how much bigger they are than Oregon. Your extreme anti-SEC prejudice is making you think I'm saying things I'm not. It's funny.

quote:

---

And how did Bama's D do against TAMU?

---

Gave up 42 points, but stopped them a few times. They didn't stop us at all

quote:

---

If you think TAMU is that much better than Oregon on O than I don't know what to tell you.

---

Manziel is better than Mariota. Their line is much better than Oregon's. Are you disputing any of this? Oregon's unique attack is what sets them apart, it's mostly a schematic advantage.

quote:

---

And unlike TAMU - Oregon actually has a pulse on D.

---

Let's reserve judgment on that until we see Oregon's D against Stanford, the only team remotely close to the bruising pro style balanced power attack that Bama uses and usually wins the championship every year in both college and NFL

quote:

---

So don't give me this - no one can hang with Bama or "SEC defenses" bull.

---

I didn't say that.


Again, you have these cliched, distorted arguments from hypothetical SEC stereotypical fans built up in your head. And you think I'm using them, and you argue against them. Instead of arguing against what I'm actually saying. Your prejudice is really really insane. It's making you stupid.
