2. Oregon’s run defense is not very good

This was the third straight game where Oregon gave up over 200 yards rushing. That is not very good and if Oregon faces a more talented team than Oregon State, it might be fatal flaw that could cause Oregon to lose a game.

The Ducks were facing a very talented running back in Jermar Jefferson, but the Ducks could not stop the Beavers all night and that is very disappointing considering how talented they are supposed to be on the defensive line.

This defense does not look the same as it was supposed to at the beginning of the season and this should be the biggest area of concern for the Ducks right now heading towards the end of the season and a matchup with Washington.
