The marquee matchup of week 1. Who wins and why?

Strength on strength in this game. Oregon has one of the best O lines in college football and Auburn boasts the best D line in college football. Auburn is going to be starting true freshman Bo Nix at QB and Gus Malzahn is returning to playcalling duties. I really like Oregon in this game. I think Herbert will able to put up points and I think the Oregon defense is talented enough to give a true freshmen QB fits. Give me Oregon 35 Auburn 21.

Auburn 31-24.

Auburn wins 33-24, I think they just want it more.

Huh?

Unbelievable game to kick off the season, and a great choice as the 5-pointer in the contest. I have this game as a virtual toss-up, so in that case, I'm taking the better O-Line (as Grant pointed out) and the 1st Round QB -- Oregon. Auburn's defense will be filled with NFL guys, to be sure, but I'm not sure they can score with Oregon if this game gets any kind of pace to it at all.

 

Assuming Oregon actually wants to win it, which is apparently now in question. :whistling: @Jumper_Dad

Auburn, because they're better.

Freshman QB over for first QB in the NFL draft next spring? Pretty bold.

I’ll give it to you this is pretty good :lol2:

Seems like all the TV pundits that I have seen are saying it's Oregon in a romp. I guess Justin Herbert is the second coming of Bobby Herbert.

14 to 3 1st quarter, so far Oregon wants it more. Maybe Auburn will decide to want it more in the 2nd quarter and the Ducks won't want it as much.

That was the most up and down action packed 14-6 first half I’ve ever seen.

14 to 6 at the half.

Oregon quit wanting it more and fumbled deep in Tiger territory. Then Auburn wanted the win more and returned the scooped fumble all the way to the Duck's 3yd line, but suddenly the Ducks wanted this win more and made the tackle at the 3.

Can always count on you JD :lol2:
