Well, this should be an exciting game to watch. We get to see 2 Heisman players go head-to-head. Marcus Mariota VS Jameis Winston. I am so gonna watch this game. Winston won last year, and it looks like Mariota will win this year.

hopefully all the defensive starters will be good to go...the depth is a must against an offense like Oregon's

This might be the best game of the whole playoff, including the game for the 'ship.

I see Oregon getting on top early, and the question is how resilient is FSU really? Would they have the firepower to come back against a team that can score like Oregon? For this reason alone, this is a must watch game for me (also I feel that Oregon vs OSU would have been a better nod to the tradition of the Rose Bowl, but whatever a good game is a good game).

Going to be tough, unless FSU gets healthy on defense. Oregon is a different animal, and I just don't see them being able to hang without their #1 DT, #1 CB, and #1 LB and having to play 9 freshman on defense because of injuries like they had to last night against GT.

also the under-the-radar injury of the #2 DT NLS (out for the year most likely) furthermore weakens the DT depth

If Oregon can throw in a traditional option look every now and again I can see them shredding the FSU defense. This could be a game that sees a metric ton of offense and being the most exciting game of the bowl season. I hate the Ducks but I can see them winning this.

That's my preliminary thoughts for now.

Worst game ever.
