Will the Oregon Ducks Inexperience on Defense be the story on Saturday against Nebraska or Will the Offense keep the pace against Nebraska?

The Oregon Ducks lost experience on both sides of the ball following 2016, the more noticeable on the Defensive side of the ball. A new 4-3 Defense was brought in by new Defensive Coordinator Brady Hoke and entering this week, the Ducks are 2-0 but the Defense is lacking.

The Run Defense needs a boost and overall is still averaging close to last seasons 28 points per game given up. Nebraska will be a solid test for the rest of the season. On Offense it should be Royce Freeman that helps ‘Win The Day’, and keep an eye on Special Teams. Defense is where we start with what I will be watching on Saturday.

(FYI: With the DirecTV issue and KEZI-the Eugene/Springfield ABC Affiliate-not being carried I had to resort to an HD Antenna from GE to watch the game – kind of feel like it is 1990 all over again.)

Can the 4-3 Do The Math To Keep Oregon In The Game?
