#140 ASA PLAY ON Oregon State +17 over Oregon, Saturday at 3:30 PM ET - The Ducks have been as underwhelming in 2 wins as any team in the country. While they are 2-0 SU, Oregon is 0-2 ATS losing by an average of almost 4 TD’s each game to the spread! They seem to be trying to find their way offensively after losing almost 70% of their offensive yards last year including QB Nix to the NFL. Gabriel (Oklahoma transfer) is the new QB and while he’s been solid, their running game has been nearly non-existent with 107 yards on the ground vs Idaho and 112 last week vs Boise State. The Broncos had more than double Oregon’s yardage on the ground last week and held the Ducks to 352 total yards. That’s the same Boise defense that allowed 45 points and 460 yards to Georgia Southern a week earlier. It looks like Oregon State should control the trenches here. We mentioned the Ducks struggles to run the ball but that hasn’t been a problem for the Beavers who have outrushed their opponents 599 to 154 through 2 weeks. The Oregon defense allowed almost 7 YPC last week vs Boise so we look for OSU to have plenty of success running the ball in this game. Last week many in our industry felt Oregon would bounce back at home vs Boise after almost losing to Idaho. It didn’t happen as the Ducks were outplayed at home in their tight 37-34 win and if not for a 100 yard kick return AND an 85 yard punt return for TD by Oregon, the Broncos win that game fairly easily. Now they are laying 17 points on the road against OSU in the Beavers most important game of the season. We just don’t see it. Oregon State has covered 4 in a row at home vs Oregon and we’re grabbing the points.
