ADVERTISEMENTS
I was shocked at how thoroughly Oregon demolished Arizona State in Tempe. The Sun Devils have lost five in a row, and on Saturday night, Dennis Erickson must have thought he was back at Idaho for a minute.
With a bye last Saturday, Oregon State has two weeks to prepare for Arizona State along with some time to heal its walking wounded. That’s a good thing for the Beavers, who have had five solid performances in a row.
In its last game at Seattle, I had Oregon State beating Washington 31-13, somehow forgetting that Justin Kahut would boot a late field goal for the Beavers. I don’t see this one being anywhere near as one-sided as Oregon’s whipping of ASU, but the Men in Orange should prevail.
THE PICK: Oregon State 34, Arizona State 20
Beaverish,
ASU pretty much rolled over and played dead at home versus the Ducks. If Erickson still has anything left in his coaching tank, then his boys will give it all they've got.
College sports, especially football, should come with the same disclaimer as Wall Street stocks:
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

Re: KERRY SAYS: Beavers will add to Erickson's ASU misery

ASU scored 20 on D-boyz including an almost pick-6... you really think they are going to score more than 7 on a real defense like the Beavs?
I'm scratching my head over that one.
