They always say "throw out the records" about rivalry games but I'm not sure you really can this year. The Beavers really stink. The defense gives up 41 points a game and their only win this season came at home against 0-11 Portland State, and even that one was close.
It isn't likely the Ducks will overlook them or be overconfident, given last year's loss. There's enough junior and senior leadership to remind them all what the game means. Besides, this is a team that seems to have a lot of fun playing football. They'll be energized by the taste of winning and the prospect of having earned a bowl game.
The talent gap is gigantic. Thomas Tyner has been a bit player for the Beavs in his return to football; he's not likely to "run wild" and spark an upset.
OSU will be fired up at the start but that stuff lasts half a quarter. I think Oregon wins big. Forecast is 53 degrees, raining, winds 5 mph. Nothing Justin Herbert isn't used to.
