War Eagle everybody! It’s time now for the Acid Reign Report on Auburn’s season opening 27-11 win over number 11-ranked Oregon in Arlington, Texas. This game almost got away early, as Oregon was rolling over the Tiger defense while the Auburn offense sputtered. Only a few Duck miscues kept the game close. There was a dropped TD pass and a subsequent missed chip shot field goal. Then the Ducks were set up after a big punt return. Instead of scoring and going up 21-3, the Ducks fumbled it back and Auburn got a big fumble return and ultimately got a field goal to close within 14-6.
