Oregon Coach Chip Kelly Hopes Rose Bowl Experience Proves Beneficial

Filed under: , , ,

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - When Oregon coach Chip Kelly was asked to make an opening statement at Sunday's press conference, not surprisingly Kelly was succinct and to the point.

"From me?" Kelly said. "Wow, haven't heard enough? Game is tomorrow night. Let's go play."

Monday night, the No. 2 ranked Ducks (12-0) and No. 1 ranked Auburn (13-0) will play for the BCS national championship at University of Phoenix Stadium.

In the final meeting with the media, Kelly talked as fast as his team plays offense -- full tilt.

A common theme all week has been "how will the defenses slow down both offenses?" Oregon leads the nation, averaging 537 yards per game, while Auburn is seventh (497 yards). Oregon is first in scoring (49.3 points) and Auburn fourth (42.7).

Kelly said he's not concerned with Auburn trying to slow down the game, because the rules only require the offense to wait on the defense if the offense subs a player.
