Back to planet earth, Oregon would beat us by 28 points
1. Our offense is among the worst in America. We would not move the ball. We would not score over 20 points.
2. Because of our offenses quick 3 and outs and repeated 3 and outs, our D would get exhausted and eventually, Oregon would break through and score about 48 points.
To beat a team like Oregon or any high powered offense, you have to give your defense rest. The way you give a defense rest is by a very consistent running game or.........a solid short passing game that takes time off the clock......or a running QB like Ohio State had that can bail on a play that was a short pass design and simply turn up field and run for 7 yards. When you do this, you beat Oregon. It's not about VT's defense to beat Oregon........VT does not have the offense to beat Oregon. VT does not have the offense to help out its defense.
