The first play of Oregon's 2019 season set the tone.
With the ball placed at the 25-yard line and Auburn's talented defense lined up across from them, the Ducks came out in a 2x2 set. Just before the snap, slot receiver Jaylon Redd came in short motion before catching a quick screen and turning upfield for an 11-yard gain which moved the sticks.
At first glance, the play seemed to be classic Oregon football: spreading the full width of the field and distributing the ball to shifty playmakers in space. But for Auburn nickelback Christian Tutt, the play had a very different feel.
