War Eagle, everybody! At long last, opening game week is finally here! Saturday evening, Auburn will open the season in Arlington Texas against the Oregon Ducks. It is likely the biggest game in the nation, and the game will be on national television on ABC. Kickoff for this tilt is at 6:30 PM Central Time.
Much has been made of this matchup being decided in the trenches when Oregon has the ball. Obviously, this will be fun to watch, but I am in the minority in that I think the game will be won or lost elsewhere. First-game jitters are a real thing, and I think the team that makes fewer mistakes will have the best chance to win.
