Oregon scored 31 points or more in all 13 games.\u00a0 36-33 and 34-31 losses to Washington knocked them out of the final four.\u00a0 Liberty had one of the easiest schedules I\u2019ve ever seen in the NCAA.\u00a0 They ran the table to get this bowl invite.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their challenge will be to prove they belong on the same field as a Power Five team.\u00a0 Power Five teams have fallen before in this type of game during the bowl season, but this seems like quite a tall task for the Flames.\u00a0 Let\u2019s take a further look into this matchup.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fiesta Bowl Predictions and Best Bets: Oregon Offense<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oregon is one of the more well-balanced teams we\u2019ve seen over the past several years.\u00a0 They ran 6.15 per carry and QB Nix passed for an incredible 77%, with an unheard of 40-3 touchdown to interception ratio.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nix will play in this game, and likely be unstoppable, but his NFL-bound WR Troy Franklin (1,383 yards, 14 touchdowns) will not play.\u00a0 Keep an eye on Tez Johnson, who is a solid 2nd<\/sup> option as there are reports he may not play.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Word to the wise: You have to stay on top of things this bowl season.<\/strong>\u00a0 We saw Minnesota\u2019s fine RB play after missing five weeks (a surprise) and he ran for 200+ yards in the win over Bowling Green, whose own RB did not play.\u00a0 On Thursday, Arizona\u2019s elite WR due played, and dominated as I expected, facing Oklahoma.\u00a0 In more good news, stout RB Irving plans to play.\u00a0 He\u2019s a threat every time he touches the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duck Defense<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There have been times where Oregon\u2019s defense has let them down, but hiring Dan Lanning from the SEC has given them more of a presence on this side of the ball.\u00a0 After allowing 4.6 per carry in Lanning\u2019s initial season, Oregon allowed just 3.7 per carry this year.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The near 65% pass defense also improved, down to 60%, which is no small feat when considering the QB talent the PAC 12 had this season.\u00a0 Last year\u2019s sack ratio was 16-14.\u00a0 This year?\u00a0 How about a fantastic 30-5 ratio!\u00a0 Kicking was down, at 11-17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
