I like OSU big in this one.

Washington has been inconsistent running the football, and terrible throwing it. Defensively, their secondary minus Baker hasn't been good. The one thing UW is good at, and they are one of the best in the Pac 12 at, is their defensive front and linebackers. Oregon, ASU, AZ, Stanford, and UCLA, all had quarterbacks that could counter this with their mobility. Mannion is a statue standing behind a duct taped put together offensive line. Mannion rarely will have more than 3 seconds to get rid of the football.

This is a horrible mathup for Oregon State. Example, How did the Beaver line hold up against equally talented fronts USC and Utah? USC pulverized them. Oregon State lost in overtime to Utah, but I'd argue that if it wasn't for one pass play, OSU did absolutely nothing offensively. Frankly, Utah's offense did everything they could to lose that game in Reeser, and they still managed to win.

UW 31
OSU 10

Agree. Seems like a similar matchup to Illinois' statue Lunt. I see a defensive td or two
 
@greenblood is really dialed in.

OSU does have a good pass d but a very shitty rush d according to the stats. We've been successful against the worst pass D's in the league (Arizona, Cal, Col). Should be able to run the ball and that would open up the pass game a bit. Arizona's run d was 4th in the league and UW ran well against them.

Mannion has really struggled against UW. He should get some yards but UW's run D should shut down OSU's statistically weak run game.
 
Oregon State is pretty bad. UW isn't going to quit either. I'm not that worried about the game, even though it doesn't really matter.

A lot of guys on the team have high character or have a lot to play for. Miles and Washington/Coleman are playing for starting jobs next year. Kasen is trying to impress these last few games to try and get back on scouts radar. The freshman (Baker, Pettis, Jones, Hale) are all pumped to be on the field. Kikaha, Shelton, and Shaq are high character guys who will always play hard.
 
Beavs will get punched in the mouth and lay down early in this one. Besides, they won't want to waste any emotion, they'll need it for the Civil War. Which is OK for their fans. By now even the most rabid Beaver Believer is resigned to never, ever having a really first rate team under mediocre Mike and ruining Oregon's shot at participating in the first ever college football play-offs is goal #1.
 
I like the giant douche in this one, but the turd sandwich could win also.

Either way someone's tickets to El Paso will be booked by the end of the night.

Reilly never looses at Huskie Stadium.

The one and only Moral Loss I have seen in my years of watching Husky football, where the winning team was worse off and the loosing team was better off and you could really see a sea of change occurring, was the game in 1998.

If Smith could have played every one of his college games vs the UW, he would have won Ron Powlus' two Heismans.
