When does "great offense" equal crappy defense?

We've seen this movie before and it always ends the same way.

The voters and the media fall in love with big offense and pay no attention to defense whatsoever.

What is different about this Oregon team than Oregon teams in the past? Nothing.

If for some reason this Oregon team gets to number 2 and plays Bama they will lose and probably lose pretty badly. Bama has the athletes to take away the spread of Oregon and the offense to keep Oregon off the field.

Auburn didn't have a great defense, and shut them down.

our Defense last year toyed with them.
our D-Lineman tossed their undersized O-linemen around, then caught their RB from behind.

we forced them out of their game, and caused them to start making mistakes.

as much as I would hate to see it, Bama would do the same thing.

yes, a mediocre (at best) LSU offense had a good day against Bama.

but we have BIG o-linemen and a physical power run game.
Oregon has neither of those.

Woody, Bo and Rockne lose their fucking minds watching these basketball games on fake grass. Alex Karras just got up here and that's the first thing he started bitching about. Then, he tried the food. Paradise, my ass.
