Standout Wide Receiver Dez Bryant is an animal at catching, reeling in 18 TD's and over 1,300 yards. The Cowboys have a great special teams unit, led by punter Matt Fodge.

Oregon will look for Quarterback Jeremiah Masoli to get thm going. Masoli threw for 1,486 and 12 TD's. The Ducks have a dynamic duo at tailback. Jeremiah Johnson, who rushed for 1,082, and Garrete Blount, who had 928 yards with 16 TD's, are a "Lightning Squared" threat.
