As the Ducks and Beavers prepare for their much-anticipated matchup this weekend, Oregon will look to build on early-season momentum while addressing key weaknesses that have emerged through the first two games. Oregon State, coming off a strong start, aims to continue their balanced attack, featuring a combination of efficient quarterback play and a physical running game. The rivalry adds another chapter as both teams enter the game with much to prove on both sides of the ball.
Oregon will need to shore up protection for quarterback Dillon Gabriel, who has been under constant pressure through two games, as the Ducks have allowed seven sacks. On the ground, Oregon's rushing attack has yet to hit its stride, with Jordan James as the lone bright spot. Meanwhile, Oregon State’s defense, led by edge rusher Oluwaseyi Omotosho and a stout secondary, will look to exploit Oregon’s offensive line struggles.
On the other side, Oregon State boasts an efficient passing game, led by quarterback Gevani McCoy, and a strong rushing attack featuring Jamious Griffin. Oregon’s defense, anchored by edge rushers Jordan Burch and Matayo Uiagalelei, will be tested as they seek to disrupt McCoy’s rhythm and contain Griffin’s power running.
Today in the War Room, we take a first look at the game, key matchups and key Oregon State players to watch.
