No. 24 Oregon opens the 2018 college football season Saturday in Autzen Stadium against Bowling Green and its wide-open passing attack.
The Ducks are 31 1/2-point favorites in Las Vegas, but new UO coach Mario Cristobal didn't discuss the Falcons on Monday as if his team expects to roll. After finishing last season on a hot streak, quarterback Jarret Doege returns along with running back Andrew Clair. Defensively under new coordinator Carl Pelini — who coached against Cristobal and Florida International in 2012 as head coach of Florida Atlantic — the Falcons will get back safety Jamari Bozeman, who was a key piece in 2016 before missing last season due to injury.
