Oregon State vs. Oregon Football: Ducks Set To Demolish Struggling Beavers

Oregon State and No. 10 Oregon are set to battle it out in an in-state rivalry that is going to be anything but an interesting game when the two meet.

To the credit of the struggling Oregon State Beavers, they do come into this game fresh off of a win against a significantly better team in Washington. It was a convincing 38-21 win that had the Beavers winning a game where they scored the second-most points they had all season.

With the least bit of disrespect to these Beavers, the Ducks will have the last quack when it's all said and done.

Oregon are easily a team with talent of a Top Five team in the nation, boasting one of the better offenses in the nation this season. They are led by running back LaMichael James, who has put on a clinic when it comes to the numbers.

Missing two games on the year, James has still put up 1,285 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Not to mention, the Ducks have beaten these Beavers recently and convincingly. Last season the Ducks were 37-20 winners at Oregon State to close out the year, with James scorching the Beaver defense for 134 yards and two touchdowns rushing on the day. 

With the Beaver defense allowing nearly 30 points per game against them, it should only make matters worse going against an offense of this type of capability.

The Beavers themselves have also hit a rough patch offensively as of late as well, scoring in single digits twice in their last four games. Both resulted in double-digit losses including a 27-8 loss at Utah.

Having lost their last game to USC, these Ducks will come out with a sense of purpose and ultimately beat the Beavers handily as a result. Expect James and the offense to get off to a quick start and make the Beavers play come-from-behind football for a good three to four quarters.
