Can porous Oregon run defense contain Pac-12's top rusher, Arizona State running back Eno Benjamin?

EUGENE -- After being carved to pieces on the ground for three straight weeks, Oregon's defense has to try not to allow Arizona State running back Eno Benjamin, the Pac-12's leading rusher, to be yet another buzzsaw.

Arizona's J.J. Taylor (212 yards), UCLA's Joshua Kelley (161) and Utah's Armand Shyne (174) all had banner days against the Ducks, who are have plummeted from second in the Pac-12 to seventh against the run during that span.

"We've got to play better, certainly. We've given up too many yards and they've got one of the best backs in the conference, if not the best," Oregon defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt said.
