EUGENE, Ore. -- Less than two weeks after facing the toughest Pac-12 defense, the Oregon Ducks’ offense will now face the trickiest defense in the Pac-12.
Arizona State’s defense has been -- as Oregon offensive coordinator Scott Frost put it on Tuesday -- boom or bust this season when it comes to its defensive pressures.
The boom has come from safety Jordan Simone and a trio of linebackers (Christian Sam, Antonio Longino and DJ Calhoun), who have recorded 13.5 of the Sun Devils’ 23 sacks this season (tied-ninth nationally).
