BCS National Championship Game: #1 Auburn vs. #2 Oregon

Re: Oregon Uniforms Released for BCS CHAMP.

I'm kind of hoping Auburn wears white. I'd like to see those black Oregon unis in action.

If I was Under Armour I'd tell them to wear white. It'd undermine the whole event Nike put together unveiling the white Oregon unis.

Under Armour unveils the specially designed cleats Auburn will wear in the National Championship game.

Pretty slick use of the orange and blue.

Looks good, I just don;t like the blue swirly line things near the bottom.

This is pretty awesome.

"Mr. Penny", basically Auburn's "superfan", is a beloved crossing guard at Auburn's Dean Road Elementary school. He also works a second job to afford season tickets to Auburn games every season. When we score, he does pushups each time. Anyway, a group got together and raised money to be able to have Mr. Penny and his wife go to Glendale to be able to watch Auburn in the National Championship game.

Needless to say...the power of the internet (started it on facebook) has given Mr. Penny close to 10,000 raised for his trip. That rocks.

Starting Auburn DB Demond Washington with one of the best tweets ever today.

That's more or less a plug and play of a Bush tweet last February.


Just sayin'

They should get him going face-to-face with the Oregon Duck for a push-up contest

Ready, set, go.

Oregon opens up in Vegas as a 1 point favorite.

If Oregon gets off to a good start and not the slow start they have typically gotten off to this year, they will win. If it's the other way around, Auburn and possibly in blowout fashion.

Scenario 1: Oregon 43 Auburn 40
Scenario 2: Auburn 49 Oregon 35

Either way, it is highly unlikely either defense has a day to remember. It will boil to what kind of day Cam Newton has. I think if Oregon can keep Newton from running all over them, they can and most likely win. On the other hand, if Newton is able run wild, it's gonna be damn near impossible for Oregon to win.

I see Cam being effective in the run game, but I don't think he will be a busting huge gains constantly. If he does.. hell yeah.. but I think we're going to have to play a well balanced game. I'm not ready to write off either defense.. when there's this long of a layoff.. numbers aren't that significant. As much as people have spoke of Oregon starting off slow, Auburn has been at fault for the same thing. The SEC Championship game was our most complete game of football this season.

If winning a national championship isn't enough motivation for either team to play good from the start.. then I don't know what is.

I can't get over how much I hate this long layoff.. It hurts our chances.

How is Oregon gonna keep Cam from running? Oregon is MUCH smaller than Auburn on that side of the ball. Speed is great...but I see AU being able to run the Power Option right at Oregon all day.

The last 2 Games Auburn has played, Cam has shown he is more than capable of throwing the ball to win. And I'd venture to say that Bama and South Carolina's defenses are both as good or better than Oregon's D.

I may eat crow, but I don't see how AU doesn't score a TON of points on Oregon..assuming AU doesn't turn the ball over and doesn't get called for a bunch of penalties.

On the other hand...I do see Oregon scoring a bunch on us too. I've been saying something like 49-35 Auburn and I still see that kind of a game.

Re: BCS National Championship Game: #1 Auburn vs. #2 Oregon

I am hoping for a low scoring, turnover filled, no TD game. 9-6.

That admittedly would be an amazing game. High scoring games are fun to watch, but its the defensive battles that we remember years later.

1. No it isn't. The 3 lowest scoring BCS chip games (2000, 2003, and 1998) are rarely if ever talked about, especially not when mentioned with the highest scoring (2005).

2. If Auburn vs Oregon is a 9-6 shoot out it will be an abysmal game. These defenses at their best can create turnovers and stop a one dimensional team. Neither should come close to shutting down the other team. If Auburn and Oregon combine for 15 points then it was likely a game of practice squad players after a bout of food poisoning or terrorism.
