Oregon-Liberty free live stream (1/1): How to watch Fiesta Bowl online, TV, time
No. 18 Liberty rolled through its sixth season as a Division I program undefeated, earning a spot in the Fiesta Bowl on Monday, Jan. 1, against Oregon. The game will be live streamed on DirecTV Stream (free trial) and fuboTV (free trial and $20 off the first two months).
No. 8 Oregon is a 17 1/2-point favorite, one of the most lopsided betting lines during bowl season.
The Ducks (11-2) steamrolled through their schedule, outside of two games against No. 2 Washington, one of four College Football Playoff teams. Oregon lost by three in both games, including the Pac-12 title game.
The Ducks are led by quarterback Bo Nix, a Heisman Trophy finalist who has put up gaudy numbers and has a chance to break the NCAA single-season record for completion percentage.
Oregon has one of the best offensive lines in the country, a group that allowed an FBS-low five sacks this season. The Ducks’ past-blocking grade of 92.0 is the best in the country, according to Pro Football Focus.
Oregon’s defense has been just as good, finishing 12th against the run (97.5 yards per game) while giving up 10 points or less six times.
When is Oregon-Liberty?
Liberty and Oregon play at noon (1 p.m. ET) on Monday, Jan. 1.
