We prompted ChatGPT to simulate the game by feeding it all the team stats and player stats for both teams as well as their records in each game this season. We did not give anything opinion-based or introduce any bias. The only change we make is ensuring ChatGPT’s math adds up, since it can get confused sometimes 🤓

The crowd roars as the Ducks’ defense then stands resolute, managing to stifle Washington’s initial offensive efforts. Washington’s starting quarterback, left undisclosed until game time, struggles to gain momentum, resulting in a quick three-and-out. Oregon wraps up the quarter with a commanding presence, up by a score of 10-0, with both teams settling into their competitive rhythm.

As the second quarter unfolds, Washington finally starts showing signs of life. Their quarterback, propelled by a gutsy call from Coach Fisch, manages to land a 30-yard strike into the Ducks’ territory, setting up a field goal to get points on the board. Oregon, however, is not to be outdone, as they respond with a well-executed play resulting in another touchdown pass from Bo Nix to Troy Franklin. The Huskies, eager to keep things close, drive one last time before the half, and with a remarkable series of plays, punctuated by a powerful run by Cameron Davis, find the end zone themselves. The Ducks’ stumble slightly, settling for a field goal in the closing moments, ending the half with a lead at 20-10.

With the third quarter drawing to a close, the tension begins to mount, only six points separating the two fierce competitors.

Quarter 4

The final quarter promises a climax worthy of this epic Northwest rivalry. As the clock ticks down, Oregon’s focus on execution over emotion shines through.
