turnovers will be key in this game
the OSU defense NEEDs to create more turnovers for OSU to win.

And along with that...
NEED to win the field position game. OSU needs shorter fields and make Hawaii have longer fields, and this will lead into the need for good special teams (both sides). And yes turnovers will also play into this.

So basically,
WE NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN PUNT!

Which reminds me....
Mike Riley gave CV3000 a serious look at right tackle in the preseason… CV, can you punt?!?!?

Really didn't need him, but...
Oregon St. J. Hekker
Punt: 2
Avg:42.0
Lng: 0
Blk: 0
I20: 0
TB: 0
On that second one though=still taking too much time! But no rush so he had the luxury. Anyway, looked better.
Don’t know why they didn’t list the long punt but that was how the stats were listed from where I grabbed them.
And the Beavs did (for the most part) an excellent job on field position.

From the Rivals Pac-10 preview page
“We have to dominant and not just win. We need a great outing against Hawaii so we can have some momentum going into USC.” – Oregon State cornerback Brandon Hughes on whether the 0-2 Beavers are in a must-win situation against Hawaii on Saturday.
