Oregon at Washington State

A couple of outliers here to discuss with this 2-1 Oregon team. They were a lot more over-matched vs Georgia than anyone thought. They were humiliated 49-3. Oregon then hung a 70 on E. Washington and managed 41 vs BYU. The BYU game was a lot closer than the final score, and Washington has been very strong defensively. The Oregon offense has been somewhat above average in total, but the Washington St. defense has played three offensive opponents that average 8.6 yards per play and has held them to 6.6 yards per play. The result is the Cougars are allowing fewer than 13 PPG. Washington St. has turned the ball over too much and the offense has struggled, as the defense is their calling card. I expect this one to play in the high 40s to maybe low 50s, and will make the play on the UNDER.
