I don't really care for football (especially college football) but I've been hearing a TON about this game. Even before OSU won their last game. 95.5 the Game on the radio were begging and pleading for the Beavs to win so that this could be one of the best civil war games. I think they said the last time this happened, it was like in the 70s or something?

 

Anyways, I'm going for the Ducks.

This is such a huge game. Sean Canfield is a gamer for the Beavers and he has the ability to keep OSU in this football game. They have to be able to move the ball early on against the Ducks, an early score could be vital to the outcome of the game.

 

Another gamebreaker Oregon State has is Jacquizz Rodgers. OSU runs a lot of fly sweeps, and he and James are both lethal out of that option type play. His speed is unparalleled by any Oregon defender, so if he can find the edge a couple of times it'll be easy for Oregon State to run play action of stretch and sweep plays.

 

Back to Canfield. I really like the southpaw. He throws a good ball for the most part, and he has the weapons around him to succeed. His fit in the offense has taken off this season, and he's intriguing to some NFL scouts. I know a team like Minnesota will pull the trigger in the fourth round if he's there, he's someone you can really build around. Game manager with the ability to do more. He had an excellent game against USC, but he faces a more formidable defense that does a lot more things then USC did this year.

 

Oregon needs to involve LaMichael James early, and the zone-read is going to be imperative for a W. Masoli needs to continue to read that DT and get big gains off of them. The Beavers like to play a little bit light along the front four, so that may even be easier for Masoli to get his blockers set up. The Ducks running game has had big days on OSU before. 2 years ago (maybe it was last year though) Jeremiah Johnson had 200 yards alone in the first half. Chip Kelly should know this, and I wouldn't be surprised if UO also uses some Blount.

 

Right now I like Oregon, but tomorrow I could like Oregon State.
