Just got back home and don’t have the energy to think, so let’s do general for a while.

Have at it.

Civil War (Game Thread)

552

If this were a home game I’d go Beavs, but they’ve been a really poor road team, so it’s hard to take them. Hope I’m wrong.

28-21, Ducks.

Civil War Week

537

Let’s start early.

Also, I mentioned it in the prior thread, but I’m going to be on a 13hr drive home when the game kicks off. The lady is a cool person, so the plan is to stop at Starbucks and watch the game. I need a good stream if anyone can set that up!

Arizona State @ Oregon State (Game Thread)

I’m sticking with 28-21 Beavs.

My thinking is Daniels’ mobility is key to this game, and Bray will put a spy on him. I liked seeing more 4-3, too. Just works better at this level. Put a spy on Daniels, sell out on the run, and then run the ball on offense. That’s the formula.

Some wildcards like crowd, weather, coaching are all in the Beav’s favor.

 

ASU @ Oregon State (Game Week)

554

If this game were on the road, it would be a probable loss, but I think the vibe should be really excellent at Reser given we’re an up and coming team, have locked up a bowl, and still technically have a path to win the North. Fans should be a viable 12th man. Weather, unfortunately, doesn’t look to give us much advantage. Maybe the late kickoff results in lower temps than ASU is accustomed to, so maybe a slight advantage there.

From what I have seen of ASU, they are not a great team. I’d qualify them in the same range as the Beavs – a pretty good team. From what I saw of the D vs Stanford, I think we’ll be able to contain Daniels scrambling, too. Herm Edwards is pretty bad. Might give Smith the edge over him, despite Smith’s continued problems.

28-21, Beavs.
