I hope not because that would mean a loss to Reno, Boise in the MWC championship game (again) and another loss in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl against a P4 team better than us like Kansas was last year!Like last season
Guess we'll see over the next 2 weeksAgreed. Looking at what happened in the second half against Utah State means zilch considering the game was a blowout at the half and UNLV players and coaching staff had already backed off.
Bye week for themAll these teams lose the week before they play us. Who does Boise play next week?
Like last seasonI hope I'm wrong but we may end the regular season with 3 L's.
Even if we do, how amazing will it be to be bowl eligible in back-to-back seasons and have hope for the future?!?!
I'm sure Oregon will tell you it isn't that easy. OU is clearly legit and Boise gave them all they can handle.Concur...
I watch SJSU decide to bench their star QB only to lose to CSU... their defense is terrible
I'm watching OSU get shredded on the ground by Reno, who isn't good. And the OSU offense isn't great either
And Boise runs through 1 player. That's it, you limit his impact, probably not stop him completely but just don't let him burn you fir 70
I too felt off about this win. Just how bad we played in the second half. It was a win sure but just felt like we got lucky to win5th straight road win.
Win easily, never a contest.
And I feel nearly as badly as after the Syracuse game because of an absolutely horrific second half defensively (and really poor offensive play calling … I realize we tried to milk clock but we are just chopping off their balls).
Agreed. I m not rooting for reno. I m rooting for the pac to lose.I have never rooted for Reno… this year is different, a tiny bit.
Thank you, editedAre you sure about the passing yards?
Are you sure about the passing yards?Little preview for Oregon State, note that is pre reno.
Offense: 2082 yards of offense. 1413 rushing, 2082 passing.
The Beavers' offense is run-heavy, with an emphasis on establishing the run to set up the pass. Looking at the numbers pre reno, Oregon state had 2/3rds of their plays be runs. Those runs come from a combination of QB Gevani McCoy, RBs Anthony Hankerson, and Jamious Griffin. OSU has been averaging 264.4 yards on the ground game while keeping 152 yards in the air.
Gevani McCoy has been a competent signal caller for Oregon yielding 697 yards through the air with a 62.6% completion rate. While at a glance those numbers seem reasonable, the production hasn’t really beared fruit. So far McCoy has only managed 2 passing touchdowns (3 on the ground) this season with 5 interceptions. By contrast, the departed Rebel QB that we don’t speak of threw 6 TDs in 318 yards.
The Beavers have a strong offensive line with players like Joshua Gray, Gerad Christian-Lichtenhan, and Van Wells. The average height and weight of the starting five is 6'5" and 322 pounds. Expect this line to be good at run blocking schemes; but to struggle in pass protection. Shut down the run, win the game.
Defense: 4-2-5 base allowed 1794 yards, 891 rushing and 961 passing.
Insert default paragraph on the secondary and DL woes from UNLV’s Sanchez era. There is almost non existent pass rush, and coverage on deep plays are lacking. Statistically, their defense is better at stopping the run than the pass. But that’s about the only positive stat.
Historically OSU has been a bad team over the last 50 years with one good run from around 2000-2012. Since 2013 they have been 59-79 with one good season in 2022 otherwise they would have had a much worse record. Everyone will agree UNLV has been really bad and with a record of 50-86, the record doesn't look that bad when looking at that of OSU. They have been the doormat of the PAC.…plus a win at OSU will carry some weight with poll voters even though OSU isn’t what they once were.
It isn't so much looking forward, it is more along the line that Oregon State is not nearly as good as they think, and unr is a better team than most other people think. Oregon State struggled with a below average CSU and lost to a below average unr.Looks like the Beavers were caught looking ahead to next week? Down 42-30. WTF
They are the knockoff Oregon. No one cares about the Beavers.…plus a win at OSU will carry some weight with poll voters even though OSU isn’t what they once were.
Reno has improved since start of season. We are way better then them but Reno will surprise a team or 2 before seasons overRenos run all over these guys... our offense should chunk play all night against the OSU defense.
Concur...Three L's lmao. Yeah some of you must only watch certain teams/ certain games. Lose to San hose state, nah. Boise is overrated af ad don't get started with Oregon state. Crazy that Odom has done in 2 years and you people still don't believe. Smh
