Small and fast will almost always catch a beat down by big and fast. The Ducks didn't learn this lesson in 2010 and they won't win a title until they do. Forget Ezekiel for a moment, Cardale RAN OVER the Ducks Nose Guard. This is generally considered to be a very bad sign. If a 250 lb QB can do that, what's a 6'4" 330lb pulling Guard with quick feet gonna do? The Ducks football style during the regular season is great against good to average teams but falters when they have to play big and fast. The Ducks fast scoring o-style puts way too much pressure on their undersized defense to hold up for a full 60 against elite o-lines. Just line it up; run it straight at em'; wash-rinse-repeat and they fold.

Run the ball, stop the run, win the game. "Cute" and speed alone doesn't cut it. Sorry Ducks Fans - great season anyway. Go find some of those quick footed 6'4" 330lb linemen with all of Uncle Phil's money and start running between the tackles will ya!
