Because the nerves of playing in the national championship got to Cam and he had his worst game. Had nothing to do with Oregon's defense. Had two receivers wide open for touchdowns and Cam threw one pass too long and the other pass too short. Auburn also settled for a field goal at the end of the game because that is all they needed to win. They probably could have scored a touchdown if they needed or wanted too. If I remember correctly, Auburn also had over 500 yards total offense in that game

Jesus. First off, their offense has thumped plenty of 'good' defenses. Given that the only other team you've probably ever seen play in the PAC is SC... Oregon beat them when SC had "SEC" defenses. And really? KSU has a better defense than Oregon? It's not even possible.
Regardless, look at Oregon's defensive stats in the Aub and Corndog games and tell me they lost because of their defense. You can't. They lost because their O line was 100% pussy.

Oregon's defense gives up a lot of points and yards at times, but it isn't becasue they suck, IMO.
This year, they are 27th in yds/play, which is tied with UGA and 8 spots higher than Kansas St.
In 2010, they were 11th, which was tied with Florida. LSU was 22nd that season, BTW.If they had the same number of defensive plays as Alabama, they'd be ranked 16th instead of 47th in total defense. It's not like they aren't getting off the field and just giving up more plays. They are 12th in opponent's 3rd down conversions as well.

Facing less plays in a game doesn't make a defense better. It just lets you hide your defensive problems. When you judge their defense by yards per play Oregon looks much better on defense. So far this year Oregon is just behind Georgia in ypp, 5.0 - 4.8

Oregon fans shouldn't get gassed over what the Aggies did IMO. Manziel is a different QB than Mariota. Manziel is more of a jitterbug who does an amazing job of keeping his eyes up field and throwing on the run. Mariota runs Kelly's offense to a tee, but he runs the play as diagrammed, not skipping back and forth all over the backfield making defenders gas out chasing him. Oregon =/= A&M.

Oregon's offense is just another version
