Holy shit what a fucking game on ESPN tonight. The Oregon State Beavers roll into Autzen Stadium to take on the hated Oregon Ducks in the annual Civil War. What makes this game different? Well the winner gets the Pac-10 BCS birth.
As a Pac-10 fan, I never thought I would see the day that the fucking Civil War determined who would head to Pasadena. Oregon State is traditionally one of the worst teams in the league until a late 90's resurgence to the program. Now Head Coach Mike Riley has his Beavs playing as well as anyone in the country.
This is a battle of two insanely explosive offenses. The Ducks are led by Jeremiah Masoli who is as dangerous a running threat as anyone in the country. However, Masoli struggles to throw the ball when under pressure and unfortunately for him, OSU has a relentless and hard hitting defense with an explosive pass rush.
What about the Beavs? Well look no further than the Rodgers brothers for the source of their power. James (WR) and Jacquizz(RB) Rodgers lead a dynamic attack which also includes a dramatically improved Sean Canfield. If the Ducks have any hopes of winning, they will need to find a way to slow down the Oregon State offense.
So, who gets the edge in this game? Given the game is at Autzen stadium, you would almost certainly have to give the edge to the Ducks. Not me though. That's right, I picking the Beavs. Not because I fucking hate Oregon. No the key to beating Oregon is a running game and a physical defense. Guess what? The Beavers have both.
Oregon State 31 - Oregon 30
Need another reason to tune in? Well Oregon has the hottest fucking Cheerleaders in the country.

Still, Fuck the Ducks and all that.
