the two teams left of the Pac-12
clash together. It will be the first
of two games between them.
Very unusual for two teams to play
each other in the regular season.
Next year the Pac-12 will have
eight teams.
The Cougars do have four non-league
games. They play the Apple Cup at
Husky Stadium in September and they
go against former Pac-12 opponent
Arizona as well.
Cougars are 4-4 go into this game while
the Beavers are 1-7 after a win in their
last game. Both teams have won their
last games. This is a rival as much as
the Apple Cup for the Cougars. The
Cougars are 2.5 favorites going into
Corvallis. The two teams have had
different seasons.
The Beavers and the Cougars have a close
record in their 79 games they have played
over the years. The Beavers lead 41-38.
The Beavers have won 8 out of the last
10 games so the Cougars will want to win
badly.
The Beavers are averaging 21.1 points a
game this season while the defense is
giving up 32.8 points.
Malik Murphy a junior who transferred
from Duke is the Beavers starting quarterback. He completed only 58.6%
of his passes for 215.3 yards per game.
He has thrown only nine touchdowns
in eight games while having eight
interceptions. If the Cougars defense
can intercept a pass or more could
help them win.
Anthony Hankerson is the Beavers
primary running back. The senior is
averaging 83.9 yards per game and
has six touchdowns. Backup is redshirt
freshman Cornell Hatcher Jr. has only
38 carries averaging 6.3 yards per carry
and has two touchdowns..
Senior wide receiver Trent Walker leads
with 48 catches for 608 yards however
doesn't have any touchdown. Sophomore
David Wells Jr. Is second with 27 receptions
for 293 yards however has three touchdowns.
Third receiver is sophomore Taz Reddicks
has 26 catches for 342 yards but no
touchdowns. Tight end senior Bryce Caufield
is next with 18 catches with one touchdown.
A cross state rivalries anything can happen.
The Cougars playing well maybe in going
away. Go Cougs!
