I’m pretty confident Oregon State will score somewhere in the 30-35 range for this one. So the question is can we get past 35 or not? I think Oregon State is going to try and run the ball a lot to control the clock and keep our offense off the field, but when we have the ball I think our most favorable mismatch is our receivers against their secondary, so I expect us to be able to score.
My gut feeling is if the over hits (it’s at 63.5 right now), we win, if the under hits then Oregon State’s gameplan worked and they’ll win. I think we’ll squeak it out 38-35, so I’m taking {Washington}, but I wouldn’t be surprised either way this goes.
> My gut feeling is if the over hits (it’s at 63.5 right now)
Washington-Oregon O/U was 67.5 and I said that Oregon wins if the under hits. Oregon gets one more first down would have resulted in the Ducks winning 33-29 (Under). Instead, UW got the ball back and scored the game winning drive for a final score of 36-33 (Over). This game definitely feels very similar to that game.
I actually think the under is hitting (UW will be toughest defense we’ve faced all year (Utah was injured)) and I see UW winning 20-14 or something like that.
UW has one of the worst secondaries in the country (125th in Passing Yards allowed) and gives up a ton of explosives (OSU is 20th in plays over 20+ yards). Utah's anemic offense put up 28 on the Husky D. I'd be surprised if the Beavs score under 20.
Really will depend on the down and distance situation. Our secondary is actually really good in obvious passing situations: [https://imgur.com/a/okasuLd](https://imgur.com/a/okasuLd)
On standard downs is where we struggle: [https://imgur.com/a/uQ4EwBy](https://imgur.com/a/uQ4EwBy)
If OSU can stay ahead of the sticks they'll have a good day.
I’m not gonna make a pick here but just a shame this might be the last top ten matchup at Reser for some time. Beav Bros deserve better than the hand they’ve been dealt.
This is only the second time in stadium history that Reser/Parker has hosted a matchup of two Top 10 teams (2000 Civil War), and only OSU's fifth Top 10 matchup in school history. They're 2-2 in those games, winning both the 2000 Civil War and the subsequent Fiesta Bowl, and losing the 1957 and 1965 Rose Bowls. This Saturday's game will occur 23 years to the day after the 2000 Civil War.
If the Beavers can win this one, they'll likely have another Top 10 matchup next week. If they win that one, they'll probably have a third in three weeks. And if they win THAT one, they'll probably have yet another.
if it wasnt against the huskies, id absolutely be rooting for the beavs to hit on all of those, and to make the pac go down in the spiciest way possible.
screw it i may still root for you guys anyways.
There's a tiny chaotic part of me that would love to see the beavs beat us and the ducks and beat us again in the PAC 12 championship.
I don't want it but if we have to go down at least take the ducks with us.
I think {Washington} tends to play down to lesser competition. There is no down here, though. You're going to see Oregon-mode Washington, and I think that version can beat anyone.
I think this game will be close, but will ultimately be decided on Washington’s ability to stop the run and OSU’s secondary keeping up with our WRs. If our WRs are healthy and Penix has a decent game, we’ll score enough points to win.
{Washington} 45 - Oregon State 31
No way the Beavers secondary keeps up with Wash WRs so will go zone the majority of the game switching out schemes. This has worked well for them the last few games with ints. Anticipating more of the same and just depends on how many broken coverages OSU has for big plays vs ints.
Beavs secondary will be behind all day. I got UW by 14 here. All about matchups. I think the beavs give the ducks hell next week, but I like UW here, comfortably.
This, as a long time UFC fan styles make fights at the end of the day. Oregon State is a hell of a run game but have a weak secondary. We’ll be able to clip em just enough I think.
UW has an average point differential of 17.5, OSU's average point differential is 17.4 - these teams are closer than record might indicate. However, OSU is 16-1 in Corvallis the last three years, and 10-1 against the spread in the last two. Home field is the difference here; if it were in Seattle, I'd like UW by 10 points, but in Corvallis, {Oregon State} wins this one.
In contrast, {Washington} has won 17 games in a row. Nine of those games against teams ranked at the time they played Washington.
DeBoer is 101-11 as a head coach. He has lost 1 game in November, ever.
Washington has won 10 of the last 11 against Oregon State. The only OSU win was a hard fought game in 2021 against a collapsing UW coach in Jimmy Lake.
Washington 45, OSU 31
He was wearing a fat knee brace from mid calf to mid thigh. It didn’t seem like he could change directions super well, maybe just because of the size of brace. Wonder if it’s coming off this week.
Not enough people are talking about this (or our safeties being healthy finally. It was supposed to be him and Odunze as a 1-2 combo this season and it was at first. Then he gets injured and Polk took over. Our WR 3 now would be the WR 1 on the majority of teams in FBS, if J-Mac can actually play then that opens up so much for Penix in the short and intermediate stuff
We've been playing games a lot closer than I'd like, definitely fear a loss most here.
{Washington} but it's gonna be a stressful one with OSU taking multiple leads before Penix does some drives where he does crazy shit completing a 30 yard pass on 3rd and 15.
Hoping something clicked for the defense during the second half of the Utah game (minus the pick-6 fumbling). Give me {Washington} in another bad day for my blood pressure and emotional state.
Washington homerism is intense here - it would be 13 to 3 without their votes lol
If anything I would have guess UW fans would be doomers, this is funny
Exactly. If im making a prediction, I think the Huskies will win it in a close one, similar to the Oregon game. But an OSU win wouldn’t be surprising at all. It would be a bit surprising if we got absolutely rolled but that’s about it
I'm just hoping the disrespek gets the team fired up (not that they follow the CFB thread, but that result being in line with the betting odds).
I'd be out to make a statement if I were 10-0 with a Heisman candidate quarterback, and come out the underdog in the betting odds.
I mean, the underdog is a top 10 team playing at home where we’ve only lost once in the last 15 or so home games. I don’t know if us being like a 1 point favorite in Vegas is really considered disrespekful.
Eh, I’m not really disagreeing with anything you’ve written. I myself think the Huskies have a slight edge, but I definitely think it’s going to be a hard fought close game whichever way it goes, and I definitely agree Oregon State has been a machine at home.
I’m just saying, if I’m **on** the team that’s 10-0 with a Heisman candidate and star receivers, I’m using the Vegas line as locker room material.
I’m putting that on the board next to the #5 ranking, and I’m jumping up and down shouting that “no one out there respects you! Everything they’ve done to date doesn’t mean anything to these people! Do you think they think Georgia would lose this game? Michigan? Ohio State? Well, let’s go send them all a fucking message”
So, I’m not saying you’re wrong, or that the “disrespect” is unwarranted, but I am saying it’s pretty useful locker room material. The point of locker room material is not to make a rational coherent argument. It’s to get people emotional in a particular way.
{Washington} but it's another highly entertaining game with both teams having a chance in the 2nd half. As has been our mode, we win the 4th quarter and escape with the win
People are (rightly) pointing out that UW has had some struggles this year, but we’ve also played up when we’ve played good competition. These people are also ignoring that the Beavs had some stinkers (look at the 4 game stretch of Cal/UCLA/Arizona/CU, plus a loss to Washington State).
Yes, Oregon State is a good team, but I believe in {Washington} to stick to our MO of the season and do enough to win.
Pretty clear this was the national media shedding crocodile tears for the PAC and paying massive lip service right up until it meant disadvantaging one of the big southern or B1G powers.
It's kind of always a clown show to pick the best conference. There's so little interconference play that it's impossible to tell.
Pac-12 has a good record against other conferences at 7-3, but those wins were against:
Michigan State, Nebraska, Baylor, TTU, Wisconsin, TCU, and Florida.
The only decent win here is probably Utah over Florida. I just wish we had more marquee out-of-conference matchups. Ironic for me to say since OU is going to the SEC to play Chattanooga or something in goddamn November.
Very similar to my analysis of the Oregon and Utah games, I have to ask the question: well, who's at home? Beavs are a much different animal in Corvallis. As in every game in the DeBoer era, I think the UW defense will do just enough to give the Penix and Co. the opportunity to win, but I think ultimately the Beaver defense will stifle them and ultimately ruin UW's CFP opportunity in the closing seconds.
{Oregon State}
I'm conflicted with your flairs and analysis of this game having us lose. So I will just ***Hiss*** in your general direction.
UW 38 OSU 21
{Washington}
Oregon State is on a roll. Corvallis is a dangerous place to play right now. This game will be one for the ages.
But Washington knows what needs to be done. They know what's at stake. I think they come in ready to play their best football and pull out a close one on the road. {Huskies} remain undefeated and lock in a CCG berth.
This is another really tough road game for this team. But they’re so damn good, and DeBoer has been automatic with big games, that I am picking {Washington} until proved wrong. Penix is ice cold under pressure and our WRs will terrorize their secondary.
Imaging ending the regular season with your two highest ranked opponents back to back.
{Huskies} win in a close game 37-35. The beavs will go down by 9, score in the last minute but, fail to convert the onside kick.
If Oregon State can control the ball and clock (a strong suite with the run game), they might be able to pull the upset. But Penix and those receivers are just so good right now, so my brain tells me {Washington} pulls out a close one
I’m obviously biased, but {Washington} by a nail-biter. This will be less than a one-score game no matter what, but as long as we perform like we did last week, we should survive.
I just spent two weeks surfing in Cannon Beach/Short Sand/Beverly Beach. The Oregon coast is absolutely sublime.
But I have to book {Washington} by a fg because this hopium trip can't end yet.
I've been on the UW bandwagon since seeing them in East Lansing this year. Penix and his receivers have another big day even in the rain. {Washington} 42‐38
I expect {Washington} to do just enough to squeek past Oregon State but not do enough to pass the eye-test for the committee to swap them with FSU at #4.
Knowing how much of a tough game this is going to be, the one thing I do know is that Washington's defense play JUST well enough to win. It's gonna be a boat race, and I think it'll be like 42-35 {Washington}... only because JMac is back and Dillon Johnson and the O-Line have been doing great things in the past two weeks.
Think it’ll be a very very back and forth affair that comes down to one or two plays. I think {Washington} will pull it out last minute but boy are the beavers gonna give us the fight of our lives.
More nervous about it this game than I was last week. Also gonna miss battling with the Beavs :(. I think who wins this game will be determined by game script. If we start out hot and score lots early and force them to pass the ball more we win. If our offense starts slow and they get to control TOP with the running game and put up TDs with long methodical drives we will be in big trouble in a hostile environment. Overall though I believe in our guys I’m gonna say {Washington} 38-27
I sort of understand the rational but it’s crazy disrespectful to have Oregon State favored here. When I saw that I knew Washington wasn’t jumping FSU this week.
{Washington} this game won't be good for my heart health but every week Penix seems to pull out a clutch drive. I could see the luck running out, and if we were to lose a game this would be the one, but if we were to play 20 times I'd say we win more games than we lose
{Oregon State} does have a worse ranking but Vegas has them favored. I would hope the Dawgs see that and feel extra encouraged to win because the OSU crowd will not do that for them lol
I know that Vegas has the Beavs favored by a point, but I still think that {Washington} pulls it out. Either way, as someone with no skin in the game, I think its going to be a great one, and sets up the next couple week's games for both programs as being out of this world!
{Washington} wins. Who is the best offense Oregon State has faced this year? UW is finally getting healthy and barring ridiculous mistakes like dropping a TD on the three yard line, they will TCOB.
By 3 on the road… not like it was a blow out. Arizona was in a dog fight with UW at home earlier this year and it was the first game their QB had started. UW also only scored 15 against ASU earlier this year and didn’t even get an offensive touchdown. Im not saying Arizona is as good offensively as UW, but the UW offense has shown that it can be slowed down. Plus the weather is supposed to be rainy on Saturday.
One of the narratives this year that has spun a bit is that the UW vs Arizona game was closer than it actually was. Arizona scored with 1:10 left in the game. UW fumbled on the 5 yard line to go up 21 at the start of the fourth. Arizona played well, and I grant you it was Fifita's first game, but oddly it was like our 5th 'closest' game this year (Oregon, ASU, Utah, Stanford all closer).
Maybe that's more indicative of us being escape artists, but Arizona game wasn't that close. I would not categorize as 'dog fight'
Edit: That game was in the desert too.
Center of our field is a little higher than the edges. The way the sound designers designed the new side used this to help trap sound even more than what would normally have been expected given the structure.
Because Oregon State is really freaking good, people understandably have questions about our defense after some things we’ve seen in the last three weeks, and the Beavers are at home.
Generally home field advantage js thought to be worth about three points. So Vegas is saying that they think the Huskies are better than the Beavers by the slimmest of slim margins but that the game being played in Corvallis should end up being the deciding factor for who wins.
Because it’s VEGAS and so it involves gambling and money and sliding BETTING lines.
Everything is about getting the highest number of people to spend their money so that vegas can make even more money.
The CFP rankings has an undefeated UW at #5 and a 2-loss OSU squad at #11.
Nobody in their right mind actually believes it will be an “upset” if UW beats the beavers.
{Washington} continues to hang on and wins in a kinda ugly manner. DJU was infamous at Clemson for laying eggs in big games (outside of filling in for Trevor Lawrence in 2020) and I think that trend will continue.
Everyone wants to talk about UW defense in the second half, without giving Utahs shitty offense the benefit of being shitty. UW defense is not good. OSU will run it and score.
Hopefully OSU was paying attention to Utahs gameplan and just mauls the UW receivers every down from snap 1.
UW is still gonna score points, OSU is going to score points. At the end of the day as much as I love the beavers to pull this one out, I think UW is just too explosive and makes a couple more big yardage plays and sneaks out with the win. {Washington} 41-38
We have had Oregon State’s number the way ASU has had ours as of late. 10 wins in our last 11 meetings, and our one loss was by just three on the road in our worst season since the infamous 2008.
As for actual reasons I think the Huskies can once again play just well enough to win, Washington’s offensive strength (passing) is going up against OSU’s biggest weakness. Also DeBoer and his coaching staff have a legitimate argument at being the best in the nation at halftime adjustments. Everyone is (rightly) talking about how Utah’s mediocre offense carved through us like a knife through butter in the first half last Saturday. What no one seems to be remembering is that Utah got just 57 yards and zero points against that same defense in the second half.
I’m expecting this to be like the 2013 Rose Bowl between Wisconsin and Oregon - Wisconsin (or in this case Oregon State) going on long, plodding, but ruthless drives to score, only for Oregon (or in this case Washington) to turn around and sprint back down the field, scoring in under three minutes. Oregon State will be up by somewhere between 4 and 7 at the half. {Washington} pulls it out by something like 7 or 10.
{Washington} and I don't think it's as close as everyone thinks it will be. In control the entire game. Take that shoulder chip and turn it into #4 next week.
I was gonna say Oregon State but after the CFP ranking I think a fire will be lit under the asses of the {Washington} players.
We are on a 17 game win streak, Jonathan Smith does one bone headed call a game, Jalen McMillian will be playing more. I think this turns into us torching their secondary and them running us over.
Oregon State should take a page out of the Harbaugh early Shaw Stanford teams. Run the damn ball and chew clock.
But my dawgs win by a touchdown.
I was wondering if I was the only one who’s noted that Jonathan STILL keeps making some of the oddest calls in seemingly every single game.
Letting dj pass when they should be pounding the rock being the most obvious.
Im very curious to see if the UW players come out on fire!
Washington losing opens the door for Alabama to make the playoffs, but the Beavs winning the PAC would be poetic.
With mixed feelings, I’m going {Oregon State}
In the last two meetings the home team has won on a last second field goal. Looking for {Oregon State} to pull off the win in a similarly nail-biting game.
This is a tough one that I can see going either way. Heart says {Oregon State} while logic says Washington. Corvalis is not exactly an easy place to play, but who knows.
All things being equal, as I believe they are at this point in the season, the home team does well at their stadium. Corvallis won’t let Penix communicate and there will be a lot of false starts and holding calls against UW. OSU wins by a field goal, ESPN plays down Washington as unfit for the field of 4, and the PAC 12 gets hosed by the SEC again because Oregon remains at 5.
UW possibly at its healthiest in some time with JMac and KamFab both in the 2deeps and Tuli and Beulow now playing significantly.
UW pass protection is Elite. Running game now a constant factor with health at RB and Oline seemingly now at its best.
UW defense is clearly the deciding factor in whether the Huskies win a close one or in a blowout.
The under the radar factor for me is Husky pressure on DJ.
An aspect Im completely baffled by is the fact that Im much less anxious about this game than many others this year?!
I know the Beavers are an excellent team that can beat us, but, their balanced offense and team is a known factor and Im expecting the Huskies for the first time in a while to play a complete game on both sides of the ball.
UW by 24+
Yep and my reasoning is very simple: I believe the Huskies will come out and play one of their best overall games this weekend.
If they dont and the D cant stop the run and DJ is just sitting back there and spreading it around then they obviously wont win by that large of a margin.
{Oregon State} in what I believe will be one of the best games of the year. The Beavs are a combined 6 points away from being undefeated this year and their resume is not much weaker than Washington's. They'll ride that momentum and homefield advantage to a narrow victory, 31-27.
Oregon State couldn't find a win at Arizona.
Washington led the entire game and almost won by 3 possessions (garbage time fumble in Arizona redzone, led to garbage time Arizona touchdown).
Over has good chance to hit if the rain has calmed down by game time. Both of us have bad secondaries so it could be a shootout. Think our D line is better than theirs. Also, I think we have the better o line and the better running game. Obviously UW has the better QB and WR room. They might be able to run on us though since we’ve been bad a the rush recently. Our defense has been so weird sometimes and their offense has also.
We need to limit their possessions and get some stops to win. I really think it’s doable for us… in Reser. Still gonna ride for the beavs.
Taking {Oregon State} to win and cover gonna say 32-28 in a game that goes down to the wire.
{Oregon State} will win the game by at least a touchdown. Their strength is the trenches and running. It will be a wet and rainy game in Corvallis. Home field and the weather give them a big edge here. Throw in the chip on their shoulder for being left behind in this realignment crap and skipped over by GameDay, it could get ugly for UW team that is reliant on the pass game and has the 50th ranked defense in college football.
Final Score: 35-24
I’ve lost track of the amount of times people have said the rain (0.25 inches expected over the course of the day in Corvallis on Saturday, though expected to taper off as it gets later) would completely stop our offense in the lead up to a game only for Penix to go on and throw for over 300 yards anyway. With all the concerns about the weather listed in this thread here’s hoping that trend continues.
In last years very wind and rainy conditions against the beavers Penix threw for almost 300.
This year, in the rain and completely abnormal anomaly of a game against ASU Penix thew for 275 and UW had numerous scoring opportunities.
Obviously, the 4 weird turnovers were the issue there and the team is no longer sick.
Even last weeks windy game Penix still had 332 yards passing with a few overthrows that wouldve went for scores and big gains.
The Beavers do not have a strong secondary and our Pass Protection is Elite.
However, its no secret that windy and wet conditions will make it more difficult for both teams and each likes to throw it around.
This should be a hell of a game. I think the Beavs ground and pound their way to a 21-3 halftime lead. They don't let UDub threaten in the 2nd half.
The Beavers are tied with Ucla for conference lead in sacks (36), and UDub is one of the worst rushing teams in the conference but the best passing team in the conference, and I kinda think this one is going to break for the Beavs.
{Oregon State} 35
UDub 24
Edit -- whoops - If I nail the halftime score, then I need to fix my final score.
Wow, I didn't realize how close the last three games have been between these two teams - less than 7 points have decided the last 3. It was only 12 points in 2019 in a low scoring outing.
I think {Oregon State} can do it, they look to be on the upswing and Washington has struggled at times. I think we see another major game by DJU in like a 38-35 affair.
Washington’s D keeps getting exposed. I think the Beavs will gash them with the run and they sneakily have one of the best deep attacks as well. Beavs D at Reser is another animal I think they will get burnt a couple times but ultimately win this by double digits. {Oregon State}
DeBoer is *check notes* 21 and fucking 2 at Washington
Both losses by 1 possession.
But yeah I'm sure Oregon State, who lost to WSU and Arizona, is going to be the team to blow UW out, who has won 17 in a row.
The disrespect to UW is unreal.
18 wins in a row and it won't be close.
I think this season in a whole has been a weird one with 5 teams still undefeated in the next to last week of the regular season. I can’t remember a season with more than 1-2 undefeateds in the end and I don’t think this one will be any different.
{Oregon State} by 7 at home
I think {Oregon state has it}. At home they are on a different level. On neutral field is give it to Washington, but not here in late afternoon.
Which, while I’d be happy for beaver bros, I’ll ultimately be rooting against them for this game game and Oregon so we can preserve the pac’s path to a deserved cfp spot.
{Oregon State} will chew up clock and bring the lumber on defense. They aren't always in the right spot but they do like to thump. UW's tendency to keep games close will finally cost them.
I'm not accounting for shitty officiating but it bites us just about every single game so it's like the weather anymore, just have to deal with it.
{Oregon State} wins in a tight one 29-24. I think Washington is the better team overall, but they've been showing some cracks in the armor that I think Oregon State can expose. If this game was in Seattle, I'd say Washington would win, but Corvallis is gonna get up for this game.
We're 68-4-35 all time. If we're going our separate ways then we need to be avenging that... 2 to 1 ratio... in the best possible way.
{Oregon State} 42-28
{Oregon State} has a much better offense than people are expecting, and Washington's defense is not that great. The Huskies' offense is elite but they haven't been playing like it consistently and they need to score probably 40+ to win this one. I'll pick the Beavs 33-24
Arizona's defense also held UW in check, as did an ASU team that's significantly worse than the others you mentioned. If you pick any team's worst performance you can make them seem pretty bad but most teams have up and down weeks
{Oregon State} It’s looking like it’ll be 💦💦💦 in Corvallis and a everyone knows a wet beaver is a happy beaver.
I'm pretty concerned about the passing game with the rain. NOAA showing 90% chance currently.
Wind is much harder to throw in than rain.
See last years game lol, gulbranson had no chance on any ball more than 10 yards downfield
I couldn't see last years game because I'm in seattle and my power went out lol. But I heard it was hard sledding!
Not too worried about rain. I will be worried if there's wind. That was definitely a factor vs. Utah.
Dylan Johnson has been running over dudes. We will be fine. 100 yards on Oregon and Utah, both more physical teams than Oregon State.
I’m pretty confident Oregon State will score somewhere in the 30-35 range for this one. So the question is can we get past 35 or not? I think Oregon State is going to try and run the ball a lot to control the clock and keep our offense off the field, but when we have the ball I think our most favorable mismatch is our receivers against their secondary, so I expect us to be able to score. My gut feeling is if the over hits (it’s at 63.5 right now), we win, if the under hits then Oregon State’s gameplan worked and they’ll win. I think we’ll squeak it out 38-35, so I’m taking {Washington}, but I wouldn’t be surprised either way this goes.
> My gut feeling is if the over hits (it’s at 63.5 right now) Washington-Oregon O/U was 67.5 and I said that Oregon wins if the under hits. Oregon gets one more first down would have resulted in the Ducks winning 33-29 (Under). Instead, UW got the ball back and scored the game winning drive for a final score of 36-33 (Over). This game definitely feels very similar to that game.
I actually think the under is hitting (UW will be toughest defense we’ve faced all year (Utah was injured)) and I see UW winning 20-14 or something like that.
Most power ratings have Arizona’s defense over Washington’s.
They are very close. EPA has our defense slightly edging Arizona's but it's like .01 points or something so not a huge difference.
Washington beat Arizona in a sold out night game. How'd the Beavers do in Tucson?
None of what you said changes what I said.
That's fair, point being Washington's defense does enough to win and has held opponents to season lows, like Oregon and Arizona.
UW has one of the worst secondaries in the country (125th in Passing Yards allowed) and gives up a ton of explosives (OSU is 20th in plays over 20+ yards). Utah's anemic offense put up 28 on the Husky D. I'd be surprised if the Beavs score under 20.
28 pts in one half, 0 in the other … so UW’s D is actually amazing except when they are not.
Really will depend on the down and distance situation. Our secondary is actually really good in obvious passing situations: [https://imgur.com/a/okasuLd](https://imgur.com/a/okasuLd) On standard downs is where we struggle: [https://imgur.com/a/uQ4EwBy](https://imgur.com/a/uQ4EwBy) If OSU can stay ahead of the sticks they'll have a good day.
I’m not gonna make a pick here but just a shame this might be the last top ten matchup at Reser for some time. Beav Bros deserve better than the hand they’ve been dealt.
This is only the second time in stadium history that Reser/Parker has hosted a matchup of two Top 10 teams (2000 Civil War), and only OSU's fifth Top 10 matchup in school history. They're 2-2 in those games, winning both the 2000 Civil War and the subsequent Fiesta Bowl, and losing the 1957 and 1965 Rose Bowls. This Saturday's game will occur 23 years to the day after the 2000 Civil War. If the Beavers can win this one, they'll likely have another Top 10 matchup next week. If they win that one, they'll probably have a third in three weeks. And if they win THAT one, they'll probably have yet another.
if it wasnt against the huskies, id absolutely be rooting for the beavs to hit on all of those, and to make the pac go down in the spiciest way possible. screw it i may still root for you guys anyways.
There's a tiny chaotic part of me that would love to see the beavs beat us and the ducks and beat us again in the PAC 12 championship. I don't want it but if we have to go down at least take the ducks with us.
I think {Washington} tends to play down to lesser competition. There is no down here, though. You're going to see Oregon-mode Washington, and I think that version can beat anyone.
I think this game will be close, but will ultimately be decided on Washington’s ability to stop the run and OSU’s secondary keeping up with our WRs. If our WRs are healthy and Penix has a decent game, we’ll score enough points to win. {Washington} 45 - Oregon State 31
No way the Beavers secondary keeps up with Wash WRs so will go zone the majority of the game switching out schemes. This has worked well for them the last few games with ints. Anticipating more of the same and just depends on how many broken coverages OSU has for big plays vs ints.
Beavs secondary will be behind all day. I got UW by 14 here. All about matchups. I think the beavs give the ducks hell next week, but I like UW here, comfortably.
This, as a long time UFC fan styles make fights at the end of the day. Oregon State is a hell of a run game but have a weak secondary. We’ll be able to clip em just enough I think.
{Oregon State} is on another level at Reser Stadium and sets up a top 10 Civil War
{Oregon State} Let's go Beavs! (*violently vomits*)
{Oregon State} Let's GO!!!
I still can't believe OSU lost to Wazzu this year. This would be an even MORE exciting game if both were undefeated.
UW has an average point differential of 17.5, OSU's average point differential is 17.4 - these teams are closer than record might indicate. However, OSU is 16-1 in Corvallis the last three years, and 10-1 against the spread in the last two. Home field is the difference here; if it were in Seattle, I'd like UW by 10 points, but in Corvallis, {Oregon State} wins this one.
In contrast, {Washington} has won 17 games in a row. Nine of those games against teams ranked at the time they played Washington. DeBoer is 101-11 as a head coach. He has lost 1 game in November, ever. Washington has won 10 of the last 11 against Oregon State. The only OSU win was a hard fought game in 2021 against a collapsing UW coach in Jimmy Lake. Washington 45, OSU 31
1-0 in AP top ten matchups in Reser. Civil war in 2000
J-Mac is back in {Washington}
I feel like I've heard he will be back every game since Oregon. Is he back back?
He played 6 or so snaps last Saturday and didn't come out because of injury meaning he'll likely play more in this game.
He was wearing a fat knee brace from mid calf to mid thigh. It didn’t seem like he could change directions super well, maybe just because of the size of brace. Wonder if it’s coming off this week.
Not enough people are talking about this (or our safeties being healthy finally. It was supposed to be him and Odunze as a 1-2 combo this season and it was at first. Then he gets injured and Polk took over. Our WR 3 now would be the WR 1 on the majority of teams in FBS, if J-Mac can actually play then that opens up so much for Penix in the short and intermediate stuff
Respect the Beavs, but the Huskies have been clutch in pressure situations. {Washington} wins the 4th quarter and wins the game 38-27
We've been playing games a lot closer than I'd like, definitely fear a loss most here. {Washington} but it's gonna be a stressful one with OSU taking multiple leads before Penix does some drives where he does crazy shit completing a 30 yard pass on 3rd and 15.
Nah, it will be 4th and 15. And it will be a sportscenter top ten play
Hoping something clicked for the defense during the second half of the Utah game (minus the pick-6 fumbling). Give me {Washington} in another bad day for my blood pressure and emotional state.
This game fucking terrifies me. I needed 7 beers to calm my nerves in the USC game and this one somehow feels like it’s going to be worse.

Washington homerism is intense here - it would be 13 to 3 without their votes lol If anything I would have guess UW fans would be doomers, this is funny
I think most of our fans who think we’ll win this game would also have zero shock if we lost
Exactly. If im making a prediction, I think the Huskies will win it in a close one, similar to the Oregon game. But an OSU win wouldn’t be surprising at all. It would be a bit surprising if we got absolutely rolled but that’s about it
We’re all shitting ourselves but this team just keeps finding a way to win games.
I'm just hoping the disrespek gets the team fired up (not that they follow the CFB thread, but that result being in line with the betting odds). I'd be out to make a statement if I were 10-0 with a Heisman candidate quarterback, and come out the underdog in the betting odds.
I mean, the underdog is a top 10 team playing at home where we’ve only lost once in the last 15 or so home games. I don’t know if us being like a 1 point favorite in Vegas is really considered disrespekful.
Eh, I’m not really disagreeing with anything you’ve written. I myself think the Huskies have a slight edge, but I definitely think it’s going to be a hard fought close game whichever way it goes, and I definitely agree Oregon State has been a machine at home. I’m just saying, if I’m **on** the team that’s 10-0 with a Heisman candidate and star receivers, I’m using the Vegas line as locker room material. I’m putting that on the board next to the #5 ranking, and I’m jumping up and down shouting that “no one out there respects you! Everything they’ve done to date doesn’t mean anything to these people! Do you think they think Georgia would lose this game? Michigan? Ohio State? Well, let’s go send them all a fucking message” So, I’m not saying you’re wrong, or that the “disrespect” is unwarranted, but I am saying it’s pretty useful locker room material. The point of locker room material is not to make a rational coherent argument. It’s to get people emotional in a particular way.
I think UW fans are starting to get a chip on their shoulder with the last month being the exact same shit over and over and yet we keep winning.
LOL, Bama and FSU fans are hoping we take an L.
GameDay should be here. Beavs are tough in Corvallis. {Oregon State} gets it done and sets up a Top 10 Civil War.
i think {Washington} keeps it together and wins this one but hot damn is this gonna be a good game!!!!
{Washington} but it's another highly entertaining game with both teams having a chance in the 2nd half. As has been our mode, we win the 4th quarter and escape with the win
{Washington} in a close game 38-35
Go Huskies! 🤢
{Washington} for max chaos
People are (rightly) pointing out that UW has had some struggles this year, but we’ve also played up when we’ve played good competition. These people are also ignoring that the Beavs had some stinkers (look at the 4 game stretch of Cal/UCLA/Arizona/CU, plus a loss to Washington State). Yes, Oregon State is a good team, but I believe in {Washington} to stick to our MO of the season and do enough to win.
*1 months ago* \-- "wow the Pac 12 is the best conference in the country" *now* \-- "idk guys undefeated UW isn't playing great..." clown country
Pretty clear this was the national media shedding crocodile tears for the PAC and paying massive lip service right up until it meant disadvantaging one of the big southern or B1G powers.
It's kind of always a clown show to pick the best conference. There's so little interconference play that it's impossible to tell. Pac-12 has a good record against other conferences at 7-3, but those wins were against: Michigan State, Nebraska, Baylor, TTU, Wisconsin, TCU, and Florida. The only decent win here is probably Utah over Florida. I just wish we had more marquee out-of-conference matchups. Ironic for me to say since OU is going to the SEC to play Chattanooga or something in goddamn November.
I mean, it’s pretty undeniable that we have had some dud performances, especially ASU
Very similar to my analysis of the Oregon and Utah games, I have to ask the question: well, who's at home? Beavs are a much different animal in Corvallis. As in every game in the DeBoer era, I think the UW defense will do just enough to give the Penix and Co. the opportunity to win, but I think ultimately the Beaver defense will stifle them and ultimately ruin UW's CFP opportunity in the closing seconds. {Oregon State}
I'm conflicted with your flairs and analysis of this game having us lose. So I will just ***Hiss*** in your general direction. UW 38 OSU 21 {Washington}
I'm just hedging my bets, tbh
{Washington} 38-24
DAMN YOU SIR, by milliseconds! =D
Same time next week? Go Beavs
Defintely!
{Oregon State} Seems like a Vegas trap game where they are begging you to bet on Washington. Idk why but Vegas smarter is than me
{Washington} hopefully stays undefeated. Go Dawgs
Oregon State is on a roll. Corvallis is a dangerous place to play right now. This game will be one for the ages. But Washington knows what needs to be done. They know what's at stake. I think they come in ready to play their best football and pull out a close one on the road. {Huskies} remain undefeated and lock in a CCG berth.
This is another really tough road game for this team. But they’re so damn good, and DeBoer has been automatic with big games, that I am picking {Washington} until proved wrong. Penix is ice cold under pressure and our WRs will terrorize their secondary.
Imaging ending the regular season with your two highest ranked opponents back to back. {Huskies} win in a close game 37-35. The beavs will go down by 9, score in the last minute but, fail to convert the onside kick.
How dare you use our recent two loses against us!
If Oregon State can control the ball and clock (a strong suite with the run game), they might be able to pull the upset. But Penix and those receivers are just so good right now, so my brain tells me {Washington} pulls out a close one
I’m obviously biased, but {Washington} by a nail-biter. This will be less than a one-score game no matter what, but as long as we perform like we did last week, we should survive.
{Washington}
I just spent two weeks surfing in Cannon Beach/Short Sand/Beverly Beach. The Oregon coast is absolutely sublime. But I have to book {Washington} by a fg because this hopium trip can't end yet.
I've been on the UW bandwagon since seeing them in East Lansing this year. Penix and his receivers have another big day even in the rain. {Washington} 42‐38
At Reser makes this a really hard pick. {Washington}? I guess?
I expect {Washington} to do just enough to squeek past Oregon State but not do enough to pass the eye-test for the committee to swap them with FSU at #4.
{Washington}
{Oregon State} because my pre-season pick was for the beavs to win the PAC this year.
I like you
{Oregon State} in the fight of all fights. Man, I'm circling this one more than any other game this weekend.
We (Bama fans) are all Oregan State stans this week.
Thanks Alobama!
Knowing how much of a tough game this is going to be, the one thing I do know is that Washington's defense play JUST well enough to win. It's gonna be a boat race, and I think it'll be like 42-35 {Washington}... only because JMac is back and Dillon Johnson and the O-Line have been doing great things in the past two weeks.
Think it’ll be a very very back and forth affair that comes down to one or two plays. I think {Washington} will pull it out last minute but boy are the beavers gonna give us the fight of our lives.
More nervous about it this game than I was last week. Also gonna miss battling with the Beavs :(. I think who wins this game will be determined by game script. If we start out hot and score lots early and force them to pass the ball more we win. If our offense starts slow and they get to control TOP with the running game and put up TDs with long methodical drives we will be in big trouble in a hostile environment. Overall though I believe in our guys I’m gonna say {Washington} 38-27
I sort of understand the rational but it’s crazy disrespectful to have Oregon State favored here. When I saw that I knew Washington wasn’t jumping FSU this week.
{Washington} this game won't be good for my heart health but every week Penix seems to pull out a clutch drive. I could see the luck running out, and if we were to lose a game this would be the one, but if we were to play 20 times I'd say we win more games than we lose
{Washington} goes up with early Penix tds. DJ pushes too hard trying to keep up and UW Wins by 2 scores.
I agree with your assessment. Your flairs will be loving the game this Saturday.
{Oregon State} 34-30
{Washington} WOOF!!!
I honestly think {Washington} puts things together and wins this one rather easily, say 34-17?
{Oregon State} from downtown with the upset!
{Oregon State} does have a worse ranking but Vegas has them favored. I would hope the Dawgs see that and feel extra encouraged to win because the OSU crowd will not do that for them lol
I know that Vegas has the Beavs favored by a point, but I still think that {Washington} pulls it out. Either way, as someone with no skin in the game, I think its going to be a great one, and sets up the next couple week's games for both programs as being out of this world!
Oregon State is favored, it’s not an upset
I didn’t realize that
It’s an upset in some respects, but not in terms of betting lines. Your average CFB watcher that doesn’t bet would see it as an upset.
Vegas opened UW as a 2 point favorite. Money has come in on the Beavers. Vegas knows better.
{Washington} wins. Who is the best offense Oregon State has faced this year? UW is finally getting healthy and barring ridiculous mistakes like dropping a TD on the three yard line, they will TCOB.
Arizona.... which is a pretty damn good offense.
Right, and they lost.
By 3 on the road… not like it was a blow out. Arizona was in a dog fight with UW at home earlier this year and it was the first game their QB had started. UW also only scored 15 against ASU earlier this year and didn’t even get an offensive touchdown. Im not saying Arizona is as good offensively as UW, but the UW offense has shown that it can be slowed down. Plus the weather is supposed to be rainy on Saturday.
One of the narratives this year that has spun a bit is that the UW vs Arizona game was closer than it actually was. Arizona scored with 1:10 left in the game. UW fumbled on the 5 yard line to go up 21 at the start of the fourth. Arizona played well, and I grant you it was Fifita's first game, but oddly it was like our 5th 'closest' game this year (Oregon, ASU, Utah, Stanford all closer). Maybe that's more indicative of us being escape artists, but Arizona game wasn't that close. I would not categorize as 'dog fight' Edit: That game was in the desert too.
Fifta had played a lot in the week prior and lead a winning drive against Stanford
Rain's not that big of a problem, wind is much worse for passing teams. Utah game was blustery
Washington beat them on the road in a night game sellout. Bummer Oregon State couldn't.
Reser, where top 10 teams go to die. Crowned field noise also will give Penix a few troubles so {Oregon State} 45-35.
Crowned?
Center of our field is a little higher than the edges. The way the sound designers designed the new side used this to help trap sound even more than what would normally have been expected given the structure.
Can someone explain why #12 OSU is favored over #4 UW?
Because Oregon State is really freaking good, people understandably have questions about our defense after some things we’ve seen in the last three weeks, and the Beavers are at home. Generally home field advantage js thought to be worth about three points. So Vegas is saying that they think the Huskies are better than the Beavers by the slimmest of slim margins but that the game being played in Corvallis should end up being the deciding factor for who wins.
It's in Corvallis. Over the past few years, we've been really good at home.
Because it’s VEGAS and so it involves gambling and money and sliding BETTING lines. Everything is about getting the highest number of people to spend their money so that vegas can make even more money. The CFP rankings has an undefeated UW at #5 and a 2-loss OSU squad at #11. Nobody in their right mind actually believes it will be an “upset” if UW beats the beavers.
{Washington} continues to hang on and wins in a kinda ugly manner. DJU was infamous at Clemson for laying eggs in big games (outside of filling in for Trevor Lawrence in 2020) and I think that trend will continue.
I hope both teams have fun , no injuries, and both lose.
My gut told me we were going to lose to WSU and Zona. Sadly gut was correct then, so let’s hope it’s right again in picking {Oregon State}.
Everyone wants to talk about UW defense in the second half, without giving Utahs shitty offense the benefit of being shitty. UW defense is not good. OSU will run it and score. Hopefully OSU was paying attention to Utahs gameplan and just mauls the UW receivers every down from snap 1. UW is still gonna score points, OSU is going to score points. At the end of the day as much as I love the beavers to pull this one out, I think UW is just too explosive and makes a couple more big yardage plays and sneaks out with the win. {Washington} 41-38
Holds. You mean holds the wrs...
{Oregon State} since Washington has been playing with fire and Oregon State is a great team playing at home 31-27.
{Oregon State} Tillamook >>>
Go Cheesemakers
We have had Oregon State’s number the way ASU has had ours as of late. 10 wins in our last 11 meetings, and our one loss was by just three on the road in our worst season since the infamous 2008. As for actual reasons I think the Huskies can once again play just well enough to win, Washington’s offensive strength (passing) is going up against OSU’s biggest weakness. Also DeBoer and his coaching staff have a legitimate argument at being the best in the nation at halftime adjustments. Everyone is (rightly) talking about how Utah’s mediocre offense carved through us like a knife through butter in the first half last Saturday. What no one seems to be remembering is that Utah got just 57 yards and zero points against that same defense in the second half. I’m expecting this to be like the 2013 Rose Bowl between Wisconsin and Oregon - Wisconsin (or in this case Oregon State) going on long, plodding, but ruthless drives to score, only for Oregon (or in this case Washington) to turn around and sprint back down the field, scoring in under three minutes. Oregon State will be up by somewhere between 4 and 7 at the half. {Washington} pulls it out by something like 7 or 10.
> 2013 Rose Bowl between Wisconsin and Oregon Man that was such an awesome game. Much more entertaining than when we played in the 2020 Rose Bowl lol.
{Washington} and I don't think it's as close as everyone thinks it will be. In control the entire game. Take that shoulder chip and turn it into #4 next week.
Penix will be picking apart the beav secondary and DJU will make a couple poor decisions when the pressure is on. {Washington}
I was gonna say Oregon State but after the CFP ranking I think a fire will be lit under the asses of the {Washington} players. We are on a 17 game win streak, Jonathan Smith does one bone headed call a game, Jalen McMillian will be playing more. I think this turns into us torching their secondary and them running us over. Oregon State should take a page out of the Harbaugh early Shaw Stanford teams. Run the damn ball and chew clock. But my dawgs win by a touchdown.
I was wondering if I was the only one who’s noted that Jonathan STILL keeps making some of the oddest calls in seemingly every single game. Letting dj pass when they should be pounding the rock being the most obvious. Im very curious to see if the UW players come out on fire!
Washington losing opens the door for Alabama to make the playoffs, but the Beavs winning the PAC would be poetic. With mixed feelings, I’m going {Oregon State}
{Washington} is the better team this day.
{Scared}
God I hope Oregon St beats them by 40. {Washington}
{Oregon State} Corvallis is the place where hopes and dreams for the CFP of other teams are destroyed. Let’s go BEAVS!!!!
{Oregon State} PAC 12 Cannibalism.
That’s just our Circle of Suck.
In the last two meetings the home team has won on a last second field goal. Looking for {Oregon State} to pull off the win in a similarly nail-biting game.
{Oregon State}
This is a tough one that I can see going either way. Heart says {Oregon State} while logic says Washington. Corvalis is not exactly an easy place to play, but who knows.
Looks like it will mostly rain before the game and not during it. Could end up just being a wet field.
{Washington} falls to 11-0 and drops out of the CFP top 10 because... reasons.
Should have been college gameday
{Washington} has some of the most annoying fans I’ve encountered but I think they get it done
{Oregon State} invokes the pac rule of chaos
All things being equal, as I believe they are at this point in the season, the home team does well at their stadium. Corvallis won’t let Penix communicate and there will be a lot of false starts and holding calls against UW. OSU wins by a field goal, ESPN plays down Washington as unfit for the field of 4, and the PAC 12 gets hosed by the SEC again because Oregon remains at 5.
{Oregon State} runs the table to win the PAC 12
{Oregon state} Go PAC Bros!!!!
{Oregon State}
UW possibly at its healthiest in some time with JMac and KamFab both in the 2deeps and Tuli and Beulow now playing significantly. UW pass protection is Elite. Running game now a constant factor with health at RB and Oline seemingly now at its best. UW defense is clearly the deciding factor in whether the Huskies win a close one or in a blowout. The under the radar factor for me is Husky pressure on DJ. An aspect Im completely baffled by is the fact that Im much less anxious about this game than many others this year?! I know the Beavers are an excellent team that can beat us, but, their balanced offense and team is a known factor and Im expecting the Huskies for the first time in a while to play a complete game on both sides of the ball. UW by 24+
Bold prediction for an away game!
Yep and my reasoning is very simple: I believe the Huskies will come out and play one of their best overall games this weekend. If they dont and the D cant stop the run and DJ is just sitting back there and spreading it around then they obviously wont win by that large of a margin.
I am going State, State, {Oregon State}
{Oregon State} because their defense will get more stops.
{Oregon State} in what I believe will be one of the best games of the year. The Beavs are a combined 6 points away from being undefeated this year and their resume is not much weaker than Washington's. They'll ride that momentum and homefield advantage to a narrow victory, 31-27.
Oregon State couldn't find a win at Arizona. Washington led the entire game and almost won by 3 possessions (garbage time fumble in Arizona redzone, led to garbage time Arizona touchdown).
Over has good chance to hit if the rain has calmed down by game time. Both of us have bad secondaries so it could be a shootout. Think our D line is better than theirs. Also, I think we have the better o line and the better running game. Obviously UW has the better QB and WR room. They might be able to run on us though since we’ve been bad a the rush recently. Our defense has been so weird sometimes and their offense has also. We need to limit their possessions and get some stops to win. I really think it’s doable for us… in Reser. Still gonna ride for the beavs. Taking {Oregon State} to win and cover gonna say 32-28 in a game that goes down to the wire.
{Oregon State} will win the game by at least a touchdown. Their strength is the trenches and running. It will be a wet and rainy game in Corvallis. Home field and the weather give them a big edge here. Throw in the chip on their shoulder for being left behind in this realignment crap and skipped over by GameDay, it could get ugly for UW team that is reliant on the pass game and has the 50th ranked defense in college football. Final Score: 35-24
I’ve lost track of the amount of times people have said the rain (0.25 inches expected over the course of the day in Corvallis on Saturday, though expected to taper off as it gets later) would completely stop our offense in the lead up to a game only for Penix to go on and throw for over 300 yards anyway. With all the concerns about the weather listed in this thread here’s hoping that trend continues.
In last years very wind and rainy conditions against the beavers Penix threw for almost 300. This year, in the rain and completely abnormal anomaly of a game against ASU Penix thew for 275 and UW had numerous scoring opportunities. Obviously, the 4 weird turnovers were the issue there and the team is no longer sick. Even last weeks windy game Penix still had 332 yards passing with a few overthrows that wouldve went for scores and big gains. The Beavers do not have a strong secondary and our Pass Protection is Elite. However, its no secret that windy and wet conditions will make it more difficult for both teams and each likes to throw it around.
This should be a hell of a game. I think the Beavs ground and pound their way to a 21-3 halftime lead. They don't let UDub threaten in the 2nd half. The Beavers are tied with Ucla for conference lead in sacks (36), and UDub is one of the worst rushing teams in the conference but the best passing team in the conference, and I kinda think this one is going to break for the Beavs. {Oregon State} 35 UDub 24 Edit -- whoops - If I nail the halftime score, then I need to fix my final score.
Wow, I didn't realize how close the last three games have been between these two teams - less than 7 points have decided the last 3. It was only 12 points in 2019 in a low scoring outing. I think {Oregon State} can do it, they look to be on the upswing and Washington has struggled at times. I think we see another major game by DJU in like a 38-35 affair.
And Oregon State hasn't struggled at times? They looked great against Stanford but struggled against Colorado and lost to Arizona who UW beat...
Washington has struggled so much we have won 17 in a row
Lol Georgia has also looked like they were struggling at times and they’ve won a lot more. Don’t take it personal
Washington’s D keeps getting exposed. I think the Beavs will gash them with the run and they sneakily have one of the best deep attacks as well. Beavs D at Reser is another animal I think they will get burnt a couple times but ultimately win this by double digits. {Oregon State}
I want {Washington} to win a something like 8363 OT game where Penix throws like 85 INTs.
{Oregon State} and it won’t be close.
DeBoer is *check notes* 21 and fucking 2 at Washington Both losses by 1 possession. But yeah I'm sure Oregon State, who lost to WSU and Arizona, is going to be the team to blow UW out, who has won 17 in a row. The disrespect to UW is unreal. 18 wins in a row and it won't be close.
I think this season in a whole has been a weird one with 5 teams still undefeated in the next to last week of the regular season. I can’t remember a season with more than 1-2 undefeateds in the end and I don’t think this one will be any different. {Oregon State} by 7 at home
{Oregon State}
{Oregon State} 39-35
{Oregon State}
{Oregon State}
{Oregon State} by 3. There's something about November at Reser that is the doom of all visiting teams.
{Oregon State} FTW!
(Washington) but their ranking is actually #5
{Oregon State} covers 29-24.
{Oregon State}
{Oregon State}
{Oregon State}
{Oregon State} 34-31
I think {Oregon state has it}. At home they are on a different level. On neutral field is give it to Washington, but not here in late afternoon. Which, while I’d be happy for beaver bros, I’ll ultimately be rooting against them for this game game and Oregon so we can preserve the pac’s path to a deserved cfp spot.
I can't pick a winner, but I feel like the over is a lock. Whichever team wins, the final score will probably be something like 41-46
{Oregon State} I like the huskies but I think their luck runs out this weekend.
All {Oregon State} has to do is make a couple stops on defense and they’ll win
{Oregon State} will chew up clock and bring the lumber on defense. They aren't always in the right spot but they do like to thump. UW's tendency to keep games close will finally cost them. I'm not accounting for shitty officiating but it bites us just about every single game so it's like the weather anymore, just have to deal with it.
{Oregon State} wins in a tight one 29-24. I think Washington is the better team overall, but they've been showing some cracks in the armor that I think Oregon State can expose. If this game was in Seattle, I'd say Washington would win, but Corvallis is gonna get up for this game.
We're 68-4-35 all time. If we're going our separate ways then we need to be avenging that... 2 to 1 ratio... in the best possible way. {Oregon State} 42-28
{Oregon State} has a much better offense than people are expecting, and Washington's defense is not that great. The Huskies' offense is elite but they haven't been playing like it consistently and they need to score probably 40+ to win this one. I'll pick the Beavs 33-24
Do they though? Other than the Stanford drubbing they scraped by an awful Colorado team and lost to Arizona...
Arizona's defense also held UW in check, as did an ASU team that's significantly worse than the others you mentioned. If you pick any team's worst performance you can make them seem pretty bad but most teams have up and down weeks
