OSUs passing game has hurt them in all 3 losses. I wonder how OSU would have done this year if JS convinced Daniels to portal in

Penix for sure had some off throws in that game. 40+MPH swirling gusts will do that. Too many drops that were on target too. Still, if it hadn't been in a wind tunnel Penix probably still gets close to 400y. Had it been at Reeser I'm sure it would have been different.

Nix will have to play a solid game on the road even if they try to lean more on their run game.

If the Beavs have Nolan back strong I wouldn't count that game out before it is played.

They could reach 9 wins.

Not last night, it was a downpour in Corvallis with some gusts of wind. If that game is in Corvallis it may have been even more difficult to play.

As bad as UW was playing at home last night, they have been terrible on the road. Reminds me of Sark's teams with mediocre D's that could win at home and looked awful on the road.

I was saying if it had been in Corvallis Penix doesn't get anything close to that and UW most likely loses. That's why I said Nix is going to have to play solid. If the Civil was at Autzen I'd take Oregon by double digits, but it's not. Oregon has big/fast kids and has the talent edge, but Smith has those kids playing at a high level.

They had one pick that was an ill advised pass, but also an outstanding defensive play on the ball. There were two others they had chances at picking. They are an aggressive secondary. Penix was throwing balls away all over the place due to smothering coverage.

Now, they also allowed UW to convert way too many 3rd and long and even a 4th and long play. It wasn't their best night as a D. Again, had it been at Reser it's probably not the same. Doubt UW converts all of those at their house.

Oregon will still be favored for good reason, but it's not a gimme they take that game.

After watching last nights game I am less concerned for either team TBH. Washington has talent, but I dont think they match up enough against Oregon. I think they put up a fight for a half or 3 quarters, but they don't go the distance. I foresee the Civil War being much like it was last year. Lots of hype, Oregon State shows moments or has moments where they can stay in the game, but they fail, yet at the same time near the end of the game they still have a fighting chance but need a lot to go their way to actually win.

That first 4th down was one of the few plays the D stopped a run early.

After the Beavs Run QB slipped on 3rd and short as the lead blocker prior to that 4th down attempt, I thought the Beavs should have kicked the FG. The Dubbs D looked pretty stout even though he slipped on that 3rd down.
