Oregon vs Boise State Prediction

I’ll lean toward Oregon here, but you could make a case either way. The Ducks weren’t quite as explosive on the scoreboard as most people thought they’d be, but they still managed the 10-point win in their first Game. Oregon posted 487 total yards (380 passing) and 31 first downs while notching a great defensive effort.

As for Boise State, they went wild with 651 yards (371 rushing) and 9.9 yards per play. That said, the Broncos also gave up 461 yards (322 passing) on the other side along with a 12-of-19 rate on third downs. If Oregon can stop the run I think they’ll be able to cover, but it’ll be an interesting matchup.
