College Football Matrix: Oregon State Defense Should Be No Match For Oregon Football

Oregon Football won’t face much of a challenge from the Oregon State Defense on Saturday according to the College Football Matrix.

The funny thing is Rivalry Games typically bring out the best in teams, but Saturday expect the Oregon Ducks Offense to step up with a healthy Justin Herbert against the Beavers. Dave Bartoo from College Football Matrix does not see much in the OSU Defense, “Your talking about a Defense that is bottom 10 the entire season, they’re 127 right now. That includes your group of five teams, everybody.”

While Oregon State played a close game earlier this season against Stanford at home, the energy at Autzen Stadium with players participating in their final home game should also help the Ducks pick up the win.

Bartoo said the difference for Oregon is clearly Herbert behind center and Oregon is a different team, that will likely get to 8 wins this season. He believes that regardless of who the Ducks see in a Bowl Game, Oregon will go in and win with the Sophomore Quarterback behind Center.

For the Oregon State Beavers, a team still playing for their first Pac-12 win of the year, Bartoo believes the Beavers need to just start over, “You need to go out get a new coach and new staff…for whatever reason it just didn’t work out.”
