The Oregon State Beavers host the #1 ranked USC Trojans tonight in a Pac-10 conference clash at Reser Stadium in Corvallis.
Both teams are coming off a bye week. The Beavers flattened Hawai'i 45-7 on September 13th, while USC manhandled Ohio State 35-3. Oregon State snapped USC's 27 game winning streak in 2006, beating the Trojans 33-31 at Reser. The Trojans won in L.A. last season 24-3.
It was back in 1967, when the Beavers beat USC 3-0, the only time in the school's 115-year football playing history, that they beat the #1 ranked team in the nation. Not many people give them the chance to do it this time though. However, if Oregon State can give Quarterback Lyke Moevao some time to throw (The Beavers rank #1 in the conference and #9 in the nation in passing offense) while mixing in the occasional run from Jacquizz Rodgers, plus play some defense, I believe an upset is entirely possible.
My prediction: Beavers 28, USC 24.
Kickoff is 8:00p.m. Central time on ESPN.
OOOOOOOO! SSSSSSSS! UUUUUUUU! Oregon State! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
