Should be intriguing to see what Nolan can do.

Go Beavs.

This game is huge for the Beavs. Need the momentum of winning back to back PAC games rather than this one step forward, two back thing we’re doing. Game to get them over the hump and become a true upstart.

I’m sticking with Utah winning a close game (due to refs and history at Utah), but Beavs certainly have a good shot, and with Nolan there’s a wildcard there.

Obviously the focus will be on Chance Nolan. I went back and read my report on him, and after watching his film again, I think it’s accurate.

**** Chance Nolan — I really like this guy, and he should give Gebbia a run for his money. I see a guy with legit wheels, a strong arm, and a fluid throwing motion. He had offers from Oklahoma State, UCLA, and Utah.

So, I had him just a notch below Gebbia.

Gebbia is a crafty runner, but Nolan seems more like a legit big play running threat, ala Jake Locker LE. He looks bigger and stronger than Gebbia, too. You can see his film here. I’m curious to see what he can do.

My early prediction: Utah 27, Beavs 24

Subject to change before the final game thread.

Where all the cool kids hang.

Have at it, Beavos. As shitty as 2020 has been, November onward has been pretty awesome.

Go Beavs.

Thanksgiving week is one of my favorites of the year. Reminds me of playing football with friends as a kid, after eating a big dinner and napping. Just a special feel in the air this time of year.

On top of that, we get the Beavs the day after. Should be a fun few days.

I’m going with Oregon 35, Beavs 21. I don’t see the Beavs able to stop the speed or run game of Oregon. This Duck’s team is not that good, but they’re good enough to win by two scores. Anything can happen in these rivalries, but that’s the logical prediction.
