McKee won't play. I fear West will. If the Oregon State defense is totally unable to apply any pressure, West might do OK. However, I don't expect that will be the case. One would hope our OL would be able to step up their game, but I frankly don't expect it. If we could run the ball we would have a chance even with a limited passing game. That is our best hope. However, by my prediction one can see I doubt that will happen.
I expect our defense will play better. The problem is that even when it plays at its best level, we are good for three or maybe four stops a game. Sometimes the other team stops itself a few times, but I doubt Oregon State will at home. If our offense is going three and out, three or four stops isn't going to be nearly enough.
