Eh, I'm not sure any of that really matters. The Ducks are going to get the Beavs best shot in that game no matter what happens between now and then.Greenblood wrote:Regarding OSU @ UW (Friday evening on ESPN2), it's usually an easy call whom I root for: Anything that hurts UW, even if it's OSU, especially because the Beavers have been a pretty innocuous program for the most part. But not this time. Even though a UW win probably helps its confidence going into its Duck game the following week, I just don't see the Huskies as good enough to beat Oregon in Eugene. But if the Beavers win in Seattle this week, I'd say we're most likely looking at a 9-2 OSU team in the top 20 licking its chops to see how it can mess up the Ducks' season in Corvallis Nov. 26 (and if the Ducks don't lose before then, maybe even a GameDay visit to Corvallis). So I'd much rather see the Beavers' confidence take a bit of a hit by losing this week, even some weeks before meeting the Ducks.
I'm just hoping the the Beavs and Dawgs have a tough, physical, close game. I'm not rooting for injuries or anything, but if the Huskies have plenty of bumps and bruises when they enter Autzen, that is fine with me. Conversely, hopefully the Ducks come out sharp in Boulder, stay healthy while building a big lead and can let backups play the entire 4th quarter.
