It is over. Auburn defeats Oregon 27-21 to open the 2019 college football season.

The kick is good. Auburn leads 27-21. Seven seconds left.

NIX TO SETH WILLIAMS FOR A 26-YARD SCORE! IT'S 26-21 TIGERS WITH 9 SECONDS LEFT! Bo Nix leads Auburn on an 11-play, 60-yard TD drive late in 4Q.

INSANE, INSANE! Auburn just scored a Touchdown!

Nix with a huge throw on 3rd and 10.

Auburn is at the 26 with 16 seconds left.

Auburn spikes it at the Oregon 40 with 25 seconds left.

Oregon is about to lose to Auburn in the exact same fashion that they did in the 2011 BCS National Championship Game.

That draw call wasn't a bad one by Auburn, but Whitlow didn't take the lane up the middle. 3rd and 1 from the Oregon 41. Timeout Auburn with 31 seconds left.

First down. 1:21 to play.

There are five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. We'll be LIVE from on the field for the remainder of the game and for post-game interviews.

Herbert must go out one play before returning, Ducks forced to call timeout. 

Oregon Ducks' star quarterback Justin Herbert shaken up, out before returning following timeout. 

Surprise! Backup quarterback Joey Gatewood comes in on the wildcat to score the touchdown for Auburn on a one-yard run and put the Tigers within one of Oregon midway through the fourth quarter. 

Total attendance: 60,622. 

The offense is getting going for Auburn as the Tigers capitalize on some blown assignments from Oregon to shrink the margin after Bo Nix's 11-yard touchdown pass to Eli Stove. 

Fast and aggressive start to the second half from Oregon, driving the length of the field and cashing in on the endzone with a six-yard touchdown run from Duck running back Darrian Felix to extend their lead. 

The second half is underway and Auburn receives the ball and begins on offense!

That concludes the first half of football here in Arlington, with Oregon leading Auburn 14-6 after one half of play in the 2019 AdvoCare Classic.

 

The Tigers will get the ball first in the second half. 

The Oregon pressure gets to the true freshman Bo Nix, throwing his second interception of the game to Ducks' safety Jevon Holland.

The Tigers don't take full advantage of their prime red-zone field position following the fumble recovery, settle for a 25-yard field goal to shrink the gap. 

After an 81-yard punt return set the Ducks up for another touchdown, Justin Herbert fumbles the snap and Auburn takes it back to their goal line to go into scoring position. 

The Oregon defense stops a driving Auburn, forces true freshman Bo Nix into the interception to give the ball back to the Ducks.

That's the end of the first quarter here in Arlington, with Oregon leading Auburn 14-3 here at the AdvoCare Classic. 

The Ducks strike back fast with a 20-yard touchdown pass from Justin Herbert to Spencer Webb to extend the Oregon lead. 

Auburn gets on the board after two big plays from freshman quarterback Bo Nix opens the Tigers up for a good 40-yard field goal attempt. 

CJ Verdell rushes it in one yard to officially put the Ducks on the board first, followed by a successful PAT.

CORRECTION: The touchdown is called back on instant replay.

The Ducks go aggressive and show their offensive prowess first, scoring a touchdown on the first drive of the game after a big pass from Justin Herbert sets them up before he runs it in four yards to put Oregon up early on Auburn.

 

The Tigers will get their first shot on offense next when they get the ball! 

And the opening kick is off and underway!

Oregon won the toss and chose to receive. Oregon will get the ball first.

Oregon and Auburn have walked out onto the field and the pre-game coin flip is coming up soon.

We are live here inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas for the 2019 AdvoCare Classic between the number 11 Oregon Ducks and the number 16 Auburn Tigers.

 

Pre-game warmups are underway on the field.

Do not miss a detail of the match with the live updates and commentaries of VAVEL. Follow along with us all the details, commentaries, analysis and lineups for this Oregon Ducks vs. Auburn Tigers game.

Looking to avoid a repeat of the epic 2011 BCS National Championship game in their first rematch since, Oregon, led by head coach Mario Cristobal, will be looking for a statement victory for the Ducks and the entire Pac 12 as they look to challenge for a playoff spot again. Led by returning senior star Justin Herbert at quarterback, largely expected to be the number one pick in next year's NFL Draft, the Ducks present a ferocious offense with one of the best offensive lines in the nation protecting Herbert, giving Oregon a strong matchup on offense against Auburn's famed defense. 

Oregon will be tested however on the defensive side of the ball, where their ability to pressure true freshman starter Bo Nix will be crucial to the Ducks' hopes in this game. 

​​​​​​​

Off the back of a disappointing 2018 season for the Tigers and with the departure of strong starter Jarrett Stidham to the NFL, Auburn comes into 2019 looking to challenge again for supremacy in the SEC West with the likes of arch-rival Alabama, LSU, and Texas A&M all sitting in their deep division. 

 

Malzahn will turn to top quarterback recruit Bo Nix and test the true freshman starting quarterback under the lights of Jerry World, truly a strikingly different scene from his local small-town high school stadiums he started in this time last year. 

 

The Tigers will also be anchored by a ferocious defensive front and a strong running game as the bedrock of their attack to complement Nix's talented arm.

​​​​​​​

The 2019 college football season enjoyed a soft start to the sport's 150th anniversary this year last week with the opening day and week zero kicking things off. But the real opening weekend and first week of the season starts now with the primetime, marquee matchup of the week for week one set under the lights of AT&T Stadium in Arlington with the number 11 Oregon Ducks out of the Pac 12 facing the 16th-ranked Auburn Tigers of the SEC in a  big AdvoCare Classic on Labor Day weekend.

 

The first game of the new season for both Oregon and Auburn will reveal a lot about the Ducks and Tigers' College Football Playoff chances this year, with both looking to prove they deserve a top ten spot and be considered amongst the nation's elite with a strong win to start the year.

 

This opening weekend game also has broader implications for the Ducks and the Pac 12 at large as the struggling conference looks to rebrand and rebuild itself and its image with a statement victory over a blue-blood brand of the SEC in Auburn. Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn will also have his own set of pressures on him as he looks to deliver a big year on The Plains to quench his seemingly always-hot hot seat status and he'll turn to highly-touted true freshman starting quarterback Bo Nix to do that job for him in game one.
