PrintI'm sorry for putting so much of the weight on you guys this week... it feels like I've been playing catch up since I caught a cold earlier in the week and haven't had much time to write on BtD. You won't see much of me until late tonight when I'll try to churn out some preview material for you to read tomorrow before the game. For now, let's rely on our community here to talk about tomorrow's Pac-10 opener with Arizona.
There's lots of talking points heading into this game, such as:
- What improvements did Coach Cavanaugh and the offensive line make this week after being exploited by Cincinnati?
- How will Canfield bounce back from last Saturday's loss? The onus wasn't completely on him, but he definitely bore a lot of the brunt of Cincinnati's defensive attack.
- How is Jacquizz Rodgers' ankle? He rushed for under 100 yards against the Bearcats, which is an anomaly these days.
- Defensive line: Can they continue to get pressure on opposing quarterbacks, but come up with more results? Tony Pike was adept at side-stepping Beaver blitzers, and I'm not sure the man Arizona will run out onto the field--Nick Foles-- will be nearly as good in that respect. How many sacks are you looking for tomorrow?

I'm expecting
To win by at least ten points. Arizona is missing their best player and it is in Corvallis. We just need to kepp the penalties and turnovers down. If we do that, I think we’ll be fine.
Also, Happy 1 Year Anniversary to the Beavers! Anyone that knows what I’m talking about gets a brand new Bunny!

My thoughts
Question One: What improvements did Coach Cavanaugh and the offensive line make this week after being exploited by Cincinnati?
Answer: Yes
Question Two: How will Canfield bounce back from last Saturday’s loss?
Answer: Yes
Question Three: How is Jacquizz Rodgers’ ankle? He rushed for under 100 yards against the Bearcats, which is an anomaly these days.
Answer: He’s playing
Question Four: Defensive line: Can they continue to get pressure on opposing quarterbacks, but come up with more results? Tony Pike was adept at side-stepping Beaver blitzers, and I’m not sure the man Arizona will run out onto the field—Nick Foles— will be nearly as good in that respect. How many sacks are you looking for tomorrow?
Answer: Just win!

Ted Miller's prediction:
Oregon State 24, Arizona 21: Switched this pick twice. Final verdict: Go with the home team. That said, the Wildcats’ defense will give the Beavers loads of trouble. Curious to see if Arizona’s passing offense will advance much after the switch from Matt Scott to Nick Foles. Probably some but just not enough.
I sure hope it’s not that close again! I am looking for the Beavers to bounce back well from last week. I’m tired of hearing people talk like our entire season is in the toilet because of the ONE LOSS to Cincinatti!
I highly doubt it will be that close
I think 28-21 at the least, probably something like 28-17 or 28-14.

It was a disappointing loss, but let those people know it is SO much better than what we had to deal with the last few years going into the Pac-10 play. Look at last year. I agree with many on BtD and this year’s schedule has been stacking up nicely I think for the team. If it all works out well that one loss will mean hardly anything.

Losses always hurt
But it’s a non-conference game. It has no effect on the Rose Bowl whatsoever. We just need to move on and focus on Pasadena.
Hi, my name's Connor and I am addicted to College Football
totally
After opening last year and losing a conference game, then being crushed by Penn State on national TV, and losing that Utah game that was totally a W in the bag until that last two minutes, and then look how that season turned around. Still a great deal to be hopeful about!

2,700 tickets remain
It’s already going to be bigger then our last two games, let’s make it a sell out!

What time are you guys going down tommorrow?
I live in Portland and think we’ll hit the road around 12:20 so we miss all the Duck traffic. That way we get a good 2 and a half hours of tailgating in without all of the traffic.
Hi, my name's Connor and I am addicted to College Football
I'm too sick to go to the game
so ya’ll make sure and be plenty loud! Should be a good game, hopefully our offense kicks into gear and takes off. Hope everyone has a safe and good time.

Go Beavs!
I can’t wait for Saturday. It’s been a long, long week and I need to get some beers and watch some football.
Oh, and anyone who can tell me what a “Noghri_ViR” is gets a gold star for the day. It’s been wracking my brain. Even Wikipedia, TV and the Internet doesn’t know and that’s where all information I use originates from… HELP.
