- Both teams are coming out of blowout losses last week against Notre Dame and Oregon. Both games were also pretty similar in both teams getting gashed on the ground.

- My opinion is the difference in these two teams is Oregon State knows who they are offensively. The Beavers are a full ground and pound team and even their QB, Gevani McCoy is a run first guy as well. The Beavers should have a great matchup on the ground.

- Overall just more faith in Oregon St on both sides of the ball. Purdue had a ton of missed tackles and just overall poor defense against a Notre Dame offense that was not impressing anyone prior to that game.
