EUGENE -- Shane Lemieux compared the clash in styles of play between Oregon's offensive line and Washington State's defense line to the difference between brute heavyweight fighters and nimbler middleweights.
This was a compliment from Lemieux, Oregon's starting left guard, who sees the matchup with the No. 25 Cougars as a big challenge to the No. 12 Ducks because of the completely different approach and skills they have.
"They wreak havoc," Lemieux said. "They do a really good job of wreaking havoc on first downs to try to make you false start and get the offensive linemen to jump, make it first-and-15 situations.
