Today Alabama just lost their starting middle linebacker Dylan Moses, torn ACL, out for the year.
After Tua he's the heart of their team.
Win or lose in Arlington, the Ducks need Justin Herbert to leave the Lone Star State healthy.
Auburn has a great defensive line, physical up to and beyond the rules.
I posted this clip before, but I'm including it here because I think it shows that Derrick Brown, in addition to being a great player with an NFL first round future, plays in a way that includes a willingness to endanger the safety of other players.
It's an impressive physical feat that illustrates his dominance and strength, but he's driving the Purdue halfback into the ground at the head and neck.
The much-hyped Oregon offensive line can't allow Brown, Nick Coe, Marlon Davidson and Big Kat Bryant to get multiple shots at Herbert. They can't let him get beat up. They have to give him a chance to keep the Ducks in the football game.
