In response to "I am proud of my Ducks. Our Defense did better than I thought it would, and our Offense did worse than I thought." by Bacon

As much as I dislike Nick Saban, he called this in the pre-game analysis.

The difference in the SEC versus other conferences in the BCS championships has been our defensive front sevens. They've been anchored by players like Glenn Dorsey, Marcell Dareus, Jarvis Moss and now Nick Fairley. All of those are first round draft picks from different SEC teams. What they have in common is that they can impose their will on offensive lines, which is why you guys couldn't run in goal line situations. That spread option already has a problem with tight spaces and when the defensive line can overwhelm the offensive line, you're left scrambling.

  - We did get some good pressure on him. Dude was sore after the game. -- nm - Bacon Jan 13, 19:23 1
    - His back went out and he had to get arm and leg x-rays. That was the first time all season he looked human. -- nm - David Jan 13, 19:25
