Indiana vs. Oregon Prediction: 25-26 College Football Playoffs

Southeastern 16’s Jay Greeson and Chris Lee preview and predict an outcome on the Indiana-Oregon rematch in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl as part of the 25-26 College Football Playoff semifinals. Topics include: Indiana won the first game, 30-20, and did it on the road. Neither team dominated the offensive stat sheet. The first one was outdoors; this one wil be indoors. Both teams have elite coaches; Dan Lanning spent time at Georgia and has built an elite program in Eugene, while Indiana’s Curt Cignetti has engineered a stunning turn-around that’s the talk of college football. Indiana had a star-studded cast of all-Americans all over the field. That included Heisman-Trophy-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza, left tackle Carter Smith, defensive tackle Tyrique Tucker, defensive end Stephen Daley, linebacker Aiden Fisher, cornerback DeAngelo Ponds and safety Louis Moore. The Hoosiers were also great on special teams. Kicker Nicolas Radicic hasn’t missed a kick in college and Indiana also returned a couple of punts for scores. Oregon has stars in its own right. Quarterback Dante Moore is the top NFL prospect in some circles. Tight end Kenyon Sadiq is versatile and perhaps the top NFL prospect at his position. Offensive lineman Emmanuel Pregnon and Iapani Laloulu were also all-American picks and combined with Sadiq, make Oregon nasty in the trenches. Defensive back Dillon Thineman was also an all-American pick and freshman defensive back Brandon Finney was elite, too. Each team gained 2.5 yards more per play than it gave up. Oregon was great in the turnover battle (forced turnovers on 2.6% of snaps, gave it up at a 1.3% rate) while Indiana (forced them on 3.4% of snaps, gave them up 0.9% of the time) was exceptional. &COLLAR Use promo code SEC16 for 16% off!
