Against Wazzu, Utah's Zach Moss ran for 106 yds on 30 carries. Osewe's Jermar Jefferson, 25 carries 138 yards 4 touchdowns. USC tailbacks combined for 21-156, 2 TDs.

Ducks will grind the Cougs down, keep their defense rested and run for two hundred or more. Verdell, Dye and James will pound them and break a couple. Trojans Stephen Carr had a 50-yard run.Moss and Malepeai runs of 20+. They gave up a 56-yard burst to the Beavers Trevon Bradford on a jet sweep.

The key is to limit yards after the catch and make Minshew and the Cougs put long drives together. Blitzing doesn't help much; the Air Raid gives him lots of checks, options and reads, plenty of quick throws: WSU has given up just 5 sacks all year.

Under Cristobal Oregon now has the capacity to keep their defense fresh.
