Per James:
With limited exception, the greatest pressure Dante Moore has faced this season has come from the circumstances Oregon has been in and less from opposing defenses.
The No. 8 Ducks (8-1, 5-1 Big Ten) have allowed just 11 sacks this season, which at a rate of 1.22 per game is tied for 23rd nationally. However, 10 of those sacks have come against No. 2 Indiana and Wisconsin, the top defenses at getting after the quarterback that Oregon has faced.
Minnesota (6-3, 4-2) enters Friday night’s matchup averaging 3.56 sacks per game, fourth nationally, and could end up as the defense with the most sacks that Oregon faces this season.
“They pin their ears back, especially when they have opportunities, and do a good job of recognizing,” Oregon coach Dan Lanning said. “They do a good variety of things on defense. There’s a lot of change-ups but when they get to advantageous situations to rush the passer they take advantage of it.”
