Played on Paper: Ducks v. K-State

They say you don't play games on paper and that statistics only provide one with a small, if not incomplete, glimpse of what to expect out of a given team, matchup, or scenario. While recognizing these truths, DuckTerritory has also simultaneously cast them aside, providing you with a comprehensive statistical comparison between the Ducks and their upcoming opponent for the week. This week, Oregon faces Kansas State in their season finale Thursday night in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
