Fiesta Bowl: #4 Oregon Ducks vs #5 Kansas State Wildcats

Today I did the simulation for tonight's Fiesta Bowl featuring the #4 ranked Oregon Ducks vs the #5 Kansas State Wildcats.

Oregon is led by freshman quarterback Marcus Mariota, as well as their very talented running back Kenjon Barner. Oregon's offense has been a fast paced high power offense, and both of these players have played key roles.

Kansas State is led by quarterback Heisman finalist Collin Klein, who has had quite an impressive season.

The Ducks are ranked second in the nation for rushing yards per game as well as points scored per game. Kansas State isn't ranked quite as high as Oregon, but is ranked eighth for points scored per game.

Definitely two high power offenses going at it tonight. I believe this very well could be a high scoring, very exciting game that may come down to who has the ball last.

In the XBox 360 simulation on NCAA Football 13, the Ducks won in a close one with the final score being 51-48. Kenjon Barner wound up being the player of the game with over 200 rushing yards and four touchdowns.

The game kicks off tonight at 8:30 on ESPN. Make sure to tune in for a very entertaining matchup.
