Pregame Guesses: Oregon State

Scary Quiz

Scary Quiz

Apologies in advance: As I noted in this Fan Post, I'm swamped at work trying to sell caskets to college students. These kids never want to plan ahead.

So, this week's guesses post will be short and sweet.

And that's not a reference to Jacquizz Rodgers.

 

Star-divide

For the first time all season, I don't feel good about a game.

I wasn't necessarily sure that we would win any other game on the schedule, but I felt we had a pretty good shot.

This one is bugging me a bit.

Oregon State seems tailor made to give us fits, especially with the running of Jacquizz. They routed us last season. They're coming off a loss. We're on the road. It's their homecoming.

That said, we need the win, especially if we're going to reach the 6-6 mark. (At some point, I'd like to bring the "progress" idea up to the top for discussion. I was going to do it in this post, but I realized that I didn't want to miss the discussion with the guesses. So, next week ... )

Score aside, I'm hoping for some small things. I want to see us tackle well. I'd like to see us throw a touchdown pass to a wide receiver. I'd like to see us force some turnovers.

Again, sorry for the brevity -- we'll do more for Washington next week.

Here are the Pregame Guesses for Oregon State:

  1. How many passes will Richard Brehaut attempt?
  2. True or False ... Milton Knox gets more than three carries.
  3. Who will be winning the game after three quarters or will it be tied?

But I’m hoping i’m wrong. I had a dream last night that UCLA won. Maybe God was telling me something?

I will have the results from last week up within 4 hours…sorry about the delay. I’m also swamped at work.

I hope J’accuse has a bad game…even though I like the kid.

But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.

This way I can be really happy when we are ahead after 3. I would love to see what Know can do. When they bring in Brehaut, bring in Knox as well and leave him in as long as Bre is in there. Could be fun.

Prince plays lights out and Brehaut doesn’t get in. A man can dream right?

The answer to #3 will always be UCLA, by default.

I’d hope it’d be 22, True, and UCLA, but hey I want to win this guessing game and I’m still looking strong.

Couldn’t agree more with Bellerophon. (except for the “I’m still looking strong” part)

Louisiana born, California grown - bleed Blue and Gold, with a healthy dose of Purple mixed in.
