What statistics did you provide that said OSU's defense is overrated?
Is it the one where we have held all but 4 teams to under 100 yards rushing?
Or the one where no school has had a RB rush for more than 100 yards against OSU?
Or the one where we held 9 teams to at or around half of their rushing yardage? (If not even more than that)
Or the fact that no other top25 team has shut out more teams than OSU and OSU is the only one to shut out a team with a better than 100th place ranking in total offense? (Let alone 2 top 50 offense teams - In fact you remove the referee TD given to Penn State and that's 3 top 50 teams)
Or the fact that with one game less than the #1 team, OSU is 2nd in interceptions?
Yes rushing is only one part of defense but you can't deny rushing is the mainstay of Oregon's offense and Oregon has been guilty of having turnovers before.
Since you like to hold on to just stats to prove your point, according to the stats, Oregon should only rush for 118 yards against this defense.
What don't stats take in to account? No matter what, you won't tire out our D-line. Yes you guys get to the line fast, but any time out, any slow down, we can switch in players without any letdown in defensive capability. We have the talent to switch the entire line up if needed every other drive to keep their stamina up.
Also I would need confirmation on this, but I can only remember around 4 total plays that went for longer than 25 yards against OSU's defense.
