Today is the first-ever College Football Playoff Game at Autzen Stadium with Oregon as a heavy favorite over James Madison.
The Ducks should roll.
On this episode of Locked On Ducks, I lay out the biggest keys to success for Oregon against James Madison.
The gameplan is one that the Ducks have encountered before this year.
I make my score prediction for the game. Oregon is favored by 21.5 points.
Plus, I give my thoughts on how the Oregon coaching staff should handle the end of the game.
