Oregon defense loading box, not respecting Ohio State passing attack

See those defenders all up close to the line of scrimmage?

Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones has been better than anyone would have expected a third-string quarterback to be, but he is not yet an accomplished drop back passer.

Oregon saw the Buckeyes rush for 301 yards against Wisconsin and 281 against Alabama, and early on the Ducks have elected to load up the box against the Ohio State rushing attack. Will Cardale Jones be able to throw well enough to get them to back out of that aggressive alignment? We'll see as the game progresses.

One thing Jones has already done well: use his huge frame to dodge rushers, avoid sacks and buy time to scramble or throw on the move.
