Oregon State @ Colorado (Game Thread)

Goooo Beavs.

Man it’s a kick in the nuts that Smith f’d up that FG last week…could have been such a great ending setup for the season.

27-24 Beavs, but maybe not. Might still be a hangover from last week.

I guess the narrative has to be “recover and get the best bowl game you can” at this point.

Smith ruined our season, so this is where we are at. I think we’ll be able to run on Colorado and win this game, but I don’t know if the coaches will be (a) smart enough to do this and (b) disciplined enough to do this.

Therefore…

27, 24 Beavs as Smith takes a 4th and short FG and it winds up being the difference.

Awful start time, but go Beavs.

Feel free to use this thread for Utah/Oregon et al, too. It’s snowing here today (!!) so I’ll probably be watching more football than usual.

I’m going with a larger margin of 30-20, Beavs.

We’re at a super tricky part of the schedule. Back to back road games vs mid-tier programs in possibly hostile environments. Some altitude acclimation, etc. If the Beavs get through these games, we’re going to have an incredible ending to the season. Smith seemed slightly more conservative after watching Lanning’s blunders. I hope that continues. People think you have to be aggressive on the road, but I think you take points and stay close on the road. Force the crowd out of the game, make them all tense up, etc. This is better. Just take points until you don’t have a choice. That’s the best method.

36-24, Beavs

Goooo Beavs.

We can handle the Oregon/Washington commentary in this thread, too. That’s setup to be a classic.

I’m sticking with 27-24 Beavs.
