ABOUT OREGON (2018: 9-4): The offense could explode with Herbert (3,151 yards, 29 touchdowns, eight interceptions) throwing to a deep corps of wide receivers led by freshman Mycah Pittman and graduate student Juwan Johnson, a transfer from Penn State. Sophomore running back CJ Verdell will keep opposing defenses in check after rushing for 1,018 yards and 10 touchdowns while catching 27 passes - two for scores - as a freshman. The Ducks defense will be spearheaded by senior inside linebacker Troy Dye, who led the team in tackles in each of the last three seasons and recorded two sacks and seven pass break-ups in 2018.
ABOUT AUBURN (2018: 8-5): Sophomore running back JaTarvious Whitlow rushed for 787 yards and six touchdowns as a freshman and could be the key to taking pressure off Nix. The Tigers' top two receivers from last season - Darius Slayton (Giants) and Ryan Davis (Patriots) - are off to the NFL so Seth Williams, who led the SEC in yards per reception at 20.5, could emerge as Nix's top option. The defense returns six players who recorded at least 40 tackles, 11 who had a sack and eight that combined for 11 interceptions on a defense that was 14th nationally in scoring defense at 19.2 points per game.
