As much as I want Oregon to win (versus having Auburn vacate their championship in 2014), I think Auburn takes it 38-26.

I think it is 21-6 at the half, with Oregon struggling to get their offense going. They make a run in the 3rd to make it close, but Auburn has a late score to wrap it up. And I get the feeling that the Ducks end up with too many chip shot field goals in the red zone.

Or I’m completely wrong, and it is Auburn 70, Oregon -20. (Hat tip to Da Super Fans from SNL).

Finally beating an SEC team in a bowl game does not give you permission to talk about other teams in bowl games.

57-44-6

All depends on AU’s front defensive 7. Fairley will play less than 1/2 the game if OU keeps the fast pace. Still too many athletes vs OU line.

Auburn 27 – 17

My understanding is that Mr. Kaczynski’s self-sufficiency was not a product of a belief in a coming armageddon (though he would very much like one) but rather a protest against a society that fundamentally lacks the freedom most people claim they want.

Thanks for the correction, Debbie Downer

I’m generally a contrarian , so I took Oregon in a bowl pool and win it if the Ducks win. Not extremely confident in it.

no, yall are just dumb enough to get caught practicing too much.

which brings us to today’s important lesson for all the kiddies out there…perfect practice makes perfect, otherwise you end up getting waxed by the 5th best team in the SEC west.

Possibly, but the Wolverines aren’t dumb enough to get caught.

Oh, honest question. Do you think that dealership in Columbus will let me take a test drive to Boston? I want my friend who lives there to tell me if I should buy a car.

do you prequalify*?

You know, I just control F’d this entire post and there isn’t a single mention of the word “fag” or any derivative. What the hell, people? All I ask is for a little effort.

In the end, all I’m trying to say is that you can beat a team who outgains you, if you can string together enough “no-gain” plays to get the ball back more often than the ‘average’ yards per play would suggest.

and now we’re in agreement.

Unless you run an a spread offense, right Spencer? Because those are for lazy people.

Auburn’s offense is better because of Newton, but Oregon’s defense and special teams are better.

gtfo.

was their running game bad enough to put the ball in tolzien’s hands? i don’t think so.

Probably not. Especially not the way he played I guess (I missed the last quarter).

I can see this game going a lot of different ways. Look for Oregon to run options sideline to sideline with their running game than the zone reads up the middle. Obviously turnovers will be huge. Thomas has to throw the ball down the field for Oregon to score consistently. Auburn’s offense is better because of Newton, but Oregon’s defense and special teams are better.

Oregon 43

that’s what’s great about football…there’s so many different ways to approach the strategy and no set way to do it.

Have they arrested her yet for being an accessory to an assassination attempt?

I’m fairly certain if she was involved in any way it would have been a rifle, not a handgun.
