Can Oregon Stop Cam Newton In The Championship?

The Ducks will run the ball. We are unlike anything anyone has ever seen before offensively. If you stop us on 1st down, we could break off a big play on 2nd or 3rd down (and even 4th down!). Our scheme and tempo can't be replicated.

Chip Kelly is the superior coach because he revolutionized the way we look at the spread offense. Cam Newton revolutionized the way you look at Gene Chizik.

What was their record last year without him? 8-5? And I'm sure they played a few token SEC 2A opponents, too, to bump up their record.

Consider:

Auburn had to go into overtime to beat Clemson (6-6).   

Auburn beat Kentucky (6-6) by 3 points, and they lost to Tennessee (6-6) who got their butts kicked by Oregon 48-13. 

Chattanooga scored 24 points against Auburn.    

The Ducks score more points per game, give up fewer points, have a better punting game, fewer penalties, and score so fast that the time of possession is a joke. 

Strenght of schedule?  They beat a very good Stanford team by 19 points.

This isn't the same Oregon team as last year, so don't expect the same results in a bowl game.

The only way to beat Oregon is to play perfect football.  I have watched Auburn enough to know they can't do that.

Jan. 11 headlines: PAC-10 beats SEC.

I hope you realize Oregon & Auburn both have identical offensive philosophies.  Both try to slowly wear down the opponent over the course of the game along with continually increasing the tempo of the offense as the opponent's defense starts to wear out. 

It's like looking in a mirror.

But I suspect there will be a difference in gameplans come gametime.  I think Auburn will try to take it's chances in playing a ball control time consuming ground game attempting to take advantage of a size advantage between AU o-line and Oregon d-line.

Obviously the end goal being to limit Oregon's possessions and keep the duck offense on the sideline and out of rhythm.

I seriously doubt Malzahan will go up tempo and engage in a shootout unless Auburn is either trailing or has a lead and trying to blow the game open.

i can assure you Oregon will not get blown out... Oregon might blow out Auburn, but they won't get blown out... most likely a great game... Oregon will basically score at will against Auburn... the game will come down to whether or not Auburn can keep pace...

Auburn is obviously going to get more 'props' right now because they had a blowout win last weekend in the SEC title game and because most likely Newton will win the heisman.

But that by no means the action will be on Auburn.

Keep embracing the underdog role though if it works for you.  I guarantee Auburn is doing the same 'us against the world' thing.

Right now I'm just trying to find some 'reasonable' tickets to the game as already have flights/hotel/car booked.
