Leading the nation by allowing just 146 yards per game is a little misleading. There are only 14 teams team who have faced fewer attempts. Why? Because their run defense ranks 95th and is an inviting soft spot. Still, I expect Oregon to gain enough passing yardage to knock them down a few spots. the bar isn't that high. Wish there was a stat about their screen pass defense which may make a difference on the wet day ahead. The Hushkies do have the 29th best third down defense but are 65th in time of possession (1 minute longer than Oregon's). I'm thinking the Ducks will come close to flipping that stat Saturday.
