I dont doubt Oregon is gonna put up a point or 2, but i dont think this will be the shoot out people are expecting. Auburn will win with room to spare.
Darron Thomas can throw and dont expect him to spend much time in the pocket. I expect him to roll towards Fairly quite often and by the time the 4th quarter comes around Fairly wont be a factor. We have seen over the course of the season that Fairly's conditioning is suspect and a 5 week layoff and Oregon's pace will have him sucking wind in the first quarter.

I also expect Oregon to use james as a scat back and move him all over the field. He is an excellent receiver and will create a massive mismatch for any LB or safety that tries to cover him. Any running Oregon does between the tackles will likely be done by Barner. He is a little bigger and a lot stronger.
