Last year, the Ducks beat then-No. 3 Ohio State in the 2nd week of the season. This year, they’ll look to do the same in their season opener against the No. 3 Bulldogs.
Coming off a 10-win season, the Ducks will be led by Auburn QB transfer Bo Nix. Returning 5 of their 6 offensive linemen, they will look to score early and often in a game that will surely be one of their biggest tests of the season.
