  Football on ex Landry football dot com. Same question for USC looking at a
• 0:08
  stat infograph here, they've got a winning record against everybody in the Big Ten.
• 0:12
  I mean, but USC over time has had you know, they've had
• 0:15
  pitfalls, they've disappeared off the map. They've been the best in college football
• 0:19
  for a decade. But it seems like Oregon today is way more ready for
• 0:24
  this run in the Big Ten than USC. Well, and I think it's
• 0:29
  the head coach in the way that he plays defense. I know there's a
• 0:35
  little bit of a criticism of you know, game management against Washington and you
• 0:38
  know there for a point, but still learning as a head coach. But
• 0:42
  look what Dan Lenning has done in terms of recruiting and how he's building it.
• 0:45
  He's building it almost kind of Georgia like. And I'm not going to
• 0:51
  say he's, you know, as good as Georgie's not, and in fact,
• 0:55
  I'll say that that he's not. But look at what he's done and
• 0:58
  look at the talent. But the line of scrimmage, that's what's impressive.
• 1:02
  Whereas with Lincoln it's again it's kind of what he tends to do, and
• 1:07
  they're gonna be hyper aggressive on defense to try to create turnovers. It's all
• 1:11
  about the offense, and I think that's gonna only take you so far.
• 1:15
  It could get you to the mountain top perhaps, but it's unlikely to be
• 1:21
  sustainable on the year in the ARF basis, because you're dealing with the offense
• 1:25
  has to be all on. It's to use the basketball analogy, they have
• 1:29
  to have a hot shooting night every night because their defense doesn't get enough stops
• 1:34
  against good offenses. And I wonder how they're gonna do in the Big Ten
• 1:42
  for against teams that can run the football on them. So if you're able
• 1:46
  to control the clock against that defense and limit the offensive possessions, it's gonna
• 1:51
  be make it more pressurized for their offense to not only score, but but
• 1:57
  score almost every position because their defense may not get you get off the field
• 2:02
  enough to get enough possessions, or will they get that defense better. That's
• 2:07
  gonna be key. I think that Oregon is more prepared to be able to
• 2:13
  handle the physicality in the run blocking and the difficulty of playing in the Big
• 2:19
  Ten. Physically
