Beavers need to take care of business today. Can't let that 2-5 record fool you. That team can play. Just beat the Cougs and they played the Huskies very tough.

The Beavers will have an easier time with Stanford than the Ducks will with USC.

...the Wazzu & Arizona games were traps -- home game vs lowly Stanford where the spread was 20+ is no trap!! Looks like halftime score proves this. Bring on the Huskies!!

Glad I worked out well. Stanford played awful.
 
What Oregon State coach Jonathan Smith said after No. 12 Beavers rolled past Stanford

Q: From a defensive standpoint, obviously you guys have played a lot of teams who’ve been playing two quarterbacks throughout the entire games. Now these final two, obviously not easy quarterbacks to defend. But is it somewhat off you guys’ shoulders to only have to focus in and read one quarterback rather than two every week?

Smith: I wish it was a little bit weight off our shoulders for the one guy we’ll see next week and then obviously the following. Those two guys are big-time players and all of that. But if (Washington coach) Kalen DeBoer wants to mix in a little second quarterback, take (Michael) Penix (Jr.) out the game, put another guy in, I’m totally good.

Huskies defensive coordinator share's plan to stop the Beavers ground game with their head coach during their first meeting on the upcoming match.......

"Uh ohh"

Washington is a 1 point favorite. This may end up being the biggest game in Corvallis since one of the upsets of USC. Probably more similar to the 2000 civil war though. So stoked!

Bigger than a USC upset. This is an undefeated Washington team playing their 2nd to last game of the season.
The Huskies last game is at home against WSU holding a conference record of 1-6.
This is the super bowl for both teams.
 
Beavers are tough to beat in Corvallis lately

the challenge for OSU in this game is that, IMO, the weakness of their defense is defending the pass. OSU has been pretty lucky in that they haven't had to face any elite QB's. Their two losses have come against WSU, who had Cam Ward playing like an elite QB, and against Arizona who got a great game from their QB. The other somewhat prolific QB they faced was Shedur Saunders in Colorado, and that was a close game

now, all those games were on the road. They get the huskies at home. BUT, Penix is by far the best QB OSU will have faced, and the UofW receivers are by far the best group of receivers OSU has faced. Washington leads the nation in passing offense; have led the nation for 2 years now. They are the real deal, and again, OSU's passing defense is suspect, especially the secondary

the best way to stop a passing attack is to pressure and sack the QB. OSU is good at that, so that's a plus.

I wouldn't bet on this game

If they do (and beat the Ducks), conference title game berths get interesting.
  • 3-way between UO, OSU, UA (most likely scenario)
    • No H2H, all 4-1 on common opponents, Beavs have the best record over the highest-ranked common opponent
  • 4-way between OSU, UW, and UO (requires UW to lose to WSU)
    • UA and UO get berth over UW and OSU because of losses to common-opponent WSU
  • 3-way between UO, OSU, UW (requires UW to lose to WSU and UA to lose to ASU)
    • OSU wins H2H with UO/UW, and then UW wins H2H over UO
  • 3-way between UA, OSU, UW (requires UW to lose to WSU and UO to lose to ASU)
    • H2H is even (1-1 each), UA gets in via common opponents (win over WSU), and then OSU gets in over UW via H2H
So bottom line is that if OSU wins out, unless the 4-way-tie scenario occurs, the Beavs are in the conference title game.

Civil War game is at Autzen this year. Love the Beavers but that is a tall order this year. The Ducks are very good.

True--all that was based on the notion of the CW being a battle for a title-game berth. Since it's the Beavers' thread, I figured this was the place to look at Beavs-win-out scenarios.
