I'm a little concerned that Oregon's tempo could be a struggle for our defensive concerning play calling, alignment, substitution and especially conditioning (d-line depth) late in the game. Our defensive players will likely see more plays than they have during any game in their careers. I haven't been able to find any information about the number and length of TV timeouts that will be used during the NC game but I assume this game will be interrupted early, often and for longer periods of time than any other game this season. Will Rob Lowe (raised a Buckeye) be our secret weapon in keeping our defense fresh?
