Washington vs. Oregon
Point-Spread: Oreg -12.5
O/U Total: 72.5
Implied Score: Oreg 42.5 – UW 30
Weather: 46 degrees / 0% rain / 9 mph winds
Washington:
Top Play(s) – WR Rome Odunze ($7,700) I like some of the other QBs on the slate this week, and if there is a spend-up option at WR, I’m rolling with the guy who has surpassed 100 yards in five of the last six games in a favorable game script situation. If there is a weakness to the Oregon defense, it would be on the backend where the Ducks are 104th in success rate and giving up 20.1 FPPG to opposing WR1s.
Fade – WR Ja’Lynn Polk ($4,500) Polk may pop in some optimizers this week after catching seven passes on a team-high 12 targets last week vs. Oregon State. Personal preference, but I always choose to avoid these types of plays that might see higher ownership than they should. Polk is the clear-cut WR3 for Washington and has posted 40 yards or fewer in five of the last six games.
Bargain Bin – TE Jack Westover ($3,400) Tight end usage is up for the Huskies the last month of the season with Westover leading the way. 20 of his 28 targets have come in the last five games, scoring a touchdown last week vs. Oregon State.
Pivot Play – WR Jalen McMillan ($6,500) Good chance that McMillan sees the lowest ownership of the top three Washington WRs because of pricing, but McMillan has been very consistent in 2022, averaging 8.3 targets per game, leads the team in routes run and tied for the team lead in touchdowns (6). Has found the end-zone in three of the last five games
Best of the Rest – QB Michael Penix Jr ($8,200) Oregon’s perceived weakness on defense is in the secondary and game script sets up well here for Penix Jr. Has come back to reality the last few weeks but good matchup with the Ducks ranked 11th in the Pac-12 in yards allowed through the air and give up 25.5 FPPG to opposing QBs on the year. Don’t think Penix Jr. will see high ownership and is probably best paired with Nix in a game stack. Wish I could offer more sage advice on the Washington RB situation, but it’s pick your poison between Wayne Taulapapa ($6,500) and Cameron Davis ($5,200). The latter has a 60-40 advantage the last two weeks in offensive snaps played, so would lean slightly towards Davis with the price savings.
Injury Notes – n/a
Oregon:
Top Play(s) – QB Bo Nix ($9,700) Weekly debate of “is it worth it to spend up to Bo Nix?” Every week, Nix continues to answer that question with a resounding yes. It would be criminal not to have Nix in as Oregon’s top play as he is our No. 1 projected fantasy player for the week, but the argument can be made to fade here because of the other QBs on the slate. Tough to see Wake Forest / UNC not shooting out and both QBs are $1k cheaper. I can’t criticize anyone for playing Nix, but is it fiscally responsible to do so in DFS? Washington is allowing 29.4 FPPG to opposing QBs this season – tied for 19th most in the country.
Fade – n/a. Everyone is priced appropriately, and Oregon is expected to score 40+. They’re all in play.
Bargain Bin – RB Noah Whittington ($4,600) Double-digit fantasy points score in three of the last five games, due in part to his increased usage in the passing game with 10 targets in the last two games alone. 50-50 split with Bucky Irving, but Oregon is as creative as any team in the country offensively with getting multiple RBs involved in the game plan.
Pivot Play – RB Bucky Irving ($5,700) In Oregon’s last game of this magnitude, Bucky Irving was a star with over 160 yards of total offense and a touchdown vs. UCLA. The trenches will be a matchup of best on best with the Oregon offensive line vs. Washington’s front but have to favor the Ducks here with their 11th ranked rush offense. The Huskies are allowing 15.7 FPPG to opposing RB1s.
Best of the Rest – WR Troy Franklin ($6,800) Washington’s weakness is in the secondary, ranking 94th in pass play success rate and 109th in explosiveness. Franklin leads the team with 49 targets and a 12.6 aDOT. He’s been quiet the last two games, but this sets up well for him facing a defense that allows the third most FPPG to opposing WR1s in the country. WR Kris Hutson ($4,800) benefits most with Chase Cota out Saturday.
Injury Notes – WR Chase Cota ($5,000) Cota is expected to miss Saturday’s game due to injury.
Kansas vs. Texas Tech
Point-Spread: Tx Tech -3.5
O/U Total: 64.5
Implied Score: Tx Tech 34 – KU 30.5
Weather: 46 degrees / 0% rain / 5 mph winds
Texas Tech:
Top Play(s) – QB Tyler Shough ($6,400) This is the play I don’t feel great about whatsoever. Shough will get the start this week in for an injured Behren Morton, but the messaging has been pretty consistent from those that cover the team. (1) We will Donovan Smith in packages, and (2) expect the Red Raiders to run the football this week. Still, we have a $6.4k quarterback in Shough for a team that is 17th in pass play percentage, third nationally in pass attempts per game and will attempt to run 100 plays in a game. Admittedly, I’m indecisive on this play.
Fade – WRs. Don’t care about prices or injuries or any other factors. I think it’s time to admit that there is a talent deficit in the Texas Tech WR room. No wideout has more than 14% target share for the year. They’re all cheap so maybe you’ll get lucky rostering one, but I’m not playing that guessing game with a backup quarterback.
Bargain Bin – n/a
Pivot Play – RBs. As stated above, we think Tech is going to run the ball more than they’d probably prefer this week with a backup QB in the game. Kansas is allowing 19.9 FPPG to opposing RB1s on the year and are 109th in rush play success rate. Just a matter of guessing – and yes, it is a guessing game – of which back is the hot hand that given day between Sa’Rodorick Thompson ($4,800) or Tahj Brooks ($5,400).
Best of the Rest – n/a
Injury Notes – QB Behren Morton ($6,500) Morton is out with a foot injury. WR Trey Cleveland ($4,500) is expected back this week.
Kansas:
Top Play(s) – RB Devin Neal ($6,000) Historic day for Devin Neal last week with over 300 yards of total offense and 51.4 fantasy points in the rout of Oklahoma State. HC Lance Leipold said that he felt his team could dominate an undermanned defense with the ground game and he did. While I would say Neal is the top play for Kansas, I have reservations as last week feels very much like an outlier. Was averaging just 9.1 FPPG in the last six games with a consistent 12 carries per game. That said, RB1s this season are averaging 22.1 FPPG this season against the Red Raiders.
Fade – WR Quentin Skinner ($4,300) You’re kidding yourself if you think there is injury news out there to find on Quentin Skinner during Kansas Jayhawks basketball season. Skinner played just 13 snaps last week after being questionable entering the contest. While we’re interested in Jason Bean quite a bit this week, that doesn’t apply to KU’s WR3.
Bargain Bin – n/a
Pivot Play – QB Jason Bean ($6,600) Tea leaves seem to indicate that Bean will start again on Saturday, though Jalon Daniels is getting closer and closer to returning. Hoping we get some clarity on that situation today because Bean is a strong pivot as most will be focused on Neal and Kansas is a 3.5-point underdog here. Strong projection of 25.9 for Bean at his pricing, who has averaged 27 FPPG in the four games since Daniels went down with the injury. Tech has one of the better secondaries in the country, ranking 15th in pass play success rate and allowing just 23.8 FPPG to opposing QB1s. I really think we see Bean get going with his legs this week. Adrian Martinez rushed for 171 yards and three scores in their matchup with Tech. Spencer Sanders had 56 yards and two TDs on 17 attempts.
Best of the Rest – WR Luke Grimm ($5,900) and Lawrence Arnold ($5,500) Team leaders with 45 and 39 targets respectively between the two, but these are just dart throws essentially to pair with Bean – which is absolutely not a requirement if starting the Kansas QB. Just once has either player scored more than 20 fantasy points in a game all year. For that reason, I’d probably side with Arnold here who has the edge in touchdowns (4) and yards per catch (15.5).
Injury Notes – QB Jalon Daniels ($7,700) Really haven’t seen a ton of chatter out there on Daniels’ injury as most of Kansas’ coverage has switched to basketball despite the team being bowl eligible. The Jayhawks have the luxury of allowing Daniels to get to 100% health with the way Bean has been playing.
Georgia vs. Mississippi State
Point-Spread: UGA -16.5
O/U Total: 52.5
Implied Score: UGA 34.5 – Miss St 18
Weather: 37 degrees / 0% rain / 13 mph winds
Georgia:
We’re running on fumes this morning trying to get this DFS writeup posted and UGA has been on the slate enough to know what to expect. There is not a single statistic out there to indicate whether this will be a TE Brock Bowers ($6,400) blowup week or not, and you’ll probably choose incorrectly anyways. 50-50 split in the UGA backfield with Daijun Edwards ($4,600) and Kenny McIntosh ($6,700) – both of which are viable against a below average Mississippi State run defense that 85th in rush play success rate. Probably not playing QB Stetson Bennett ($8,400) against a secondary that is 13th in success rate and allowing just 21.9 FPPG to opposing quarterbacks. WRs are a fade every week. Mississippi State is 10th in the SEC in passing plays allowed of 25 yards or more, and Georgia is 10th in the country at 8.9 yards per attempt. Take that fwiw.
Mississippi State:
Full team fade. Fun stat from 247’s Josh Pate. UGA has allowed 17 touchdowns in their last 21 regular season games. Iowa is No. 2 with 36 touchdowns allowed in that same span.
Texas A&M vs. Auburn
Point-Spread: Aub -1.5
O/U Total: 48.5
Implied Score: Aub 25 – A&M 23.5
Weather: 46 degrees / 14% rain / 13 mph winds
Texas A&M:
Top Play(s) – WRs. Doesn’t matter which between Evan Stewart ($6,000) or Moose Muhammad III ($5,400). If you want to play them solo or even pair together in the same lineup. Both strategies work just fine. Double digit fantasy points in all but one game this season for Stewart. Double-digit targets in each of the last two games for Muhammad. The duo combined for 26 of the 42 targets last week which has been the case for about the last month and a half now.
Fade – WRs not named Stewart or Muhammad. Just two targets went to wide receivers not named Evan Stewart or Moose Muhammad vs. Florida. Zero receptions.
Bargain Bin – RB Le’Veon Moss ($3,300) Based on last week’s game against Florida, it would appear from the surface that Le’Veon Moss would get the nod should Achane be unavailable on Saturday. Played 14 offensive snaps in relief of Achane with seven carries for minimal yardage. Auburn is allowing 19.6 FPPG to opposing RB1s on the year and are 110th in rush play success rate. Of course, Achane’s running ability masked many of the struggles A&M has on the offensive line. There is no certainty a RB of less talent can produce similar results.
Pivot Play – QB Conner Weigman ($4,900) 19-point projection at $4,900 for a 5-star quarterback that threw four touchdowns in his first career start? Without potentially his star running back? Game script could set up for 30+ attempts for Weigman. As far as the matchup, don’t love it. On the road at Jordan Hare, facing a secondary that is 47th in success rate.
Best of the Rest – TE Max Wright ($3,500) It might behoove us to find out who is available on Saturday night for the Aggies at the tight end position. In Week 9, freshman Donovan Green caught four passes for 48 yards on four targets. In Week 10, Green did not play a single snap, leading to Wright getting five receptions on eight targets. I won’t be playing an A&M tight end regardless most likely, but if Green is out, Wright becomes a viable option.
Injury Notes – RB Devon Achane ($6,100) We’ll see what Saturday brings, but we’ve now seen two different message boards indicate that Achane will not play this weekend. Situation to monitor as was the case last week, and those that sat him were burned. Hopefully we get more clarity today.
Auburn:
All about three players here in QB Robby Ashford ($5,800), RB Tank Bigsby ($5,400) and Jarquez Hunter ($4,400). Zero interest in the receivers against one of the better secondaries in the conference. As far as A&M’s rush defense, they allow an SEC-worst 4.94 yards per carry and 215 YPG on the ground. Double-digit carries for all three players last week against Mississippi State and I’d suspect we see a similar output/distribution this week. Don’t have a ton of interest here in one of the lower game totals on the slate, but I’d mix in each of the three in spots where your mass entering lineups.
TCU vs. Texas
Point-Spread: Tex -6.5
O/U Total: 65.5
Implied Score: Tex 36 – TCU 29.5
Weather: 45 degrees / 0% rain / 4 mph winds
TCU:
Top Play(s) – QB Max Duggan ($8,100) Wasn’t initially thinking of playing Duggan here in this spot but sounds like he will have his WR1 available and is moderately priced here in this spot as a touchdown underdog. Healthy 27-point projection this week against a Texas defense that is softer against the pass, ranking 69th in success rate, 60th in explosiveness and 23 FPPG to opposing QBs this season. Four Big 12 quarterbacks have scored 30 fantasy points or more on the Longhorns this year.
Fade – RB Kendre Miller ($6,700) Love, love, love Kendre Miller who has rushed for 100+ yards in four straight games and is now averaging 23.2 FPPG on the year. But I do think if there was a week to potentially fade him, this would be it. Texas is stout against the run, ranked second in the Big 12 in yards allowed per game, 13th in rush play success rate nationally and 9th in explosiveness allowed. The Longhorns can limit big plays on the ground and that’s where Miller thrives. Not an outright fade, but maybe limit your exposure to him.
Bargain Bin – WR Savion Williams ($4,100) Fourth on the team in targets (23) and receptions (18) but second behind only Quentin Johnston in routes run for TCU. He’s on the field a ton, just not always productive. Value would be boosted, obviously, if QJ were to somehow not play or be limited.
Pivot Play – WR Derius Davis ($6,100) and Taye Barber ($5,500) Slot receivers have given Texas some fits this year. Jaylin Noel posted the highest fantasy point total of the year against the Horned Frogs (27.4). Myles Price had one of his better performances of the year with 22.8 fantasy points scored vs. TCU. With target numbers being so low for both, and their production dependent on explosive plays, I would only select one in your lineup and not stack.
Best of the Rest – n/a
Injury Notes – WR Quentin Johnston ($6,900) Went conservative on the website with QJ’s projection as he did not practice on Tuesday of this week. He did on Wednesday in a red jersey. TCU defenders told the media this week they’re excited to see Johnston back out on the field Saturday and the message board chatter seems to indicate similar expectations.
Texas:
Top Play(s) – RB Bijan Robinson ($8,900) For now, I think I want to spend up at QB for this slate with the Hartman/Maye stack, so jamming in Bijan Robinson for me might be tough. But here’s another fun stat for you – Texas in 2022 is now 3-0 when Robinson has 30 or more touches in a game. Do you think Steve Sarkisian knows that statistic? Damn straight he does.
Fade – RB Roschon Johnson ($5,300) In 2023, when Bijan is destroying NFL defenders, these tables will be turned and Roschon Johnson will be considered one of the top plays on the slate. For now, he’s relegated to backup duties and a complete fade at his pricing.
Bargain Bin – TE Ja’Tavion Sanders ($4,000) TCU is one of 14 teams in the country that is allowing double-digit fantasy points per game to opposing TE1s. Sanders is second in targets (49), second in touchdowns (5), third in routes run and tied for first in receptions on the Longhorns.
Pivot Play – WR Xavier Worthy ($6,600) Would make sense that the Texas passing game is the ultimate pivot on the slate where all our focus has been on Bijan Robinson and the Longhorns are favored by a touchdown so game script doesn’t work in the favor of throwing the ball. While TCU is 30th in pass play success rate this season and does have an above average secondary, the Horned Frogs are also 126th in pass play explosiveness, allowing the second more passing plays of 25+ yards or more in the Big 12. Perfect for Worthy and his 19.0 aDOT.
Best of the Rest – QB Quinn Ewers ($6,700) Eye popping throws and maddening moments are exactly what I expected from Ewers in his first full season as a starter at the collegiate level. Ewers looked better last week against Kansas State in the wind, tossing two touchdowns with zero turnovers. Results in just 15.8 fantasy points. I’m only playing Ewers in a game stack with Duggan in the hopes this game just goes bonkers. But that’s it.
Injury Notes – n/a
North Carolina vs. Wake Forest
Point-Spread: WF -4.5
O/U Total: 78.5
Implied Score: WF 41.5 – UNC 37
Weather: 56 degrees / 81% rain / 9 mph winds
North Carolina:
Top Play(s) – QB Drake Maye ($8,700) My approach with DFS anytime North Carolina is on the slate – set it and forget it. Maye has scored 30+ fantasy points in all but two games this season, facing a defense that is allowing 29.2 FPPG to opposing QBs on the year.
Fade – TE Bryson Nesbit ($5,100) Realistically everyone is a GPP option with this high a game total and a tight spread, but Nesbit has been invisible for a month and a half. Don’t know if an injury is causing the lack of playing time, but Nesbit has played all of 14 snaps the last two games.
Bargain Bin – n/a
Pivot Play – RB Elijah Green ($5,900) Same situation for both teams where the focus is on the respective passing games, but do not dismiss the options at running back. Green has garnered a ton of praise from Mack Brown the last two weeks as he played 66 of 79 snaps vs. Virginia last week, rushing for 91 yards and a score on 22 attempts. No other running back carried the ball more than once. Of the defensive components, Wake Forest is strongest against the run, ranking 60th in rush play success rate and allowing only 14.6 FPPG to opposing RB1s. But if Green is the only RB touching the ball for the Heels, which appears to be the case, he’s definitely of interest.
Best of the Rest – Starting WRs. UNC is running very tight rotations right now at receiver with Josh Downs ($7,800), Antoine Green ($6,200) and J.J. Jones ($4,900) all playing 80% or more of the offensive snaps in each of the last two games. All three are potential options, and I’d be willing to play Downs/Green in the same lineup as they account for 38% of the target share (and that’s in spite of Green not playing in three games this season). Wake is 61st in pass play success rate defensively but 96th in explosiveness allowed. This could be a Green week with his 21.0 aDOT.
Injury Notes – n/a
Wake Forest:
Top Play(s) – QB Sam Hartman ($8,500) We chat about the Wake Forest running game below and how they could utilize that to slow the game down and keep the ball out of Drake Maye’s hands. But that isn’t in Dave Clawson’s DNA, nor in Hartman’s. 5th nationally in pace and 35th in pass attempts per game. Hartman will sling it around Saturday against a secondary that is 100th in pass play success rate and allowing 32.3 FPPG to opposing QBs on the year. Shootout.
Fade – n/a. Game total is 78.5. Everyone is an option.
Bargain Bin – TE Blake Whiteheart ($3,200) Whiteheart is a distant six on the team in targets (23) and has not scored double-digit fantasy points since Week 4. But I cannot get this stat out of my head. North Carolina is allowing the most FPPG to opposing TE1s in the country this season (11.8). I won’t play Whiteheart if I don’t have to, but he is cheap.
Pivot Play – RB Justice Ellison ($5,600) I thought this part was notable in the Wake Forest game preview. “Last week UVA was gashing the UNC defense and listening to the Cavalier radio network call on the drive to Raleigh, their play-by-play guy early in the third quarter said, “North Carolina just can’t stop this rushing attack.” The next three plays were incomplete passes by Brennan Armstrong and the Heels came right down the field and took a lead. They rushed for 186 yards, averaging 4.8 yards a carry. Before that game, the Hoos were averaging 104.6 yards a game on the ground in conference play and 3.1 yards a carry.” We’re so focused on Hartman and the passing game that we would be wise not to dismiss the RBs. That comes with a caveat as the Wake Forest running game has been putrid the last three weeks, averaging 1.99 YPC in that span. Ellison will split carries with Christian Turner ($5,200) because that’s just what this offense does, but neither player will break the bank.
Best of the Rest – WR AT Perry ($7,300) Season-highs last week for Perry with 12-159-1 on 18 targets. I’d like to say this is the norm moving forward, but I think everyone reading this knows the situation by now with the Wake Forest receiving room. Perry is the top option with 25% of the team target share, but you’re seeing five receivers rotate extensively every week. They’re all GPP options.
Injury Notes – n/a
Florida State vs. Syracuse
Point-Spread: FSU -7.5
O/U Total: 50.5
Implied Score: FSU 29 – Syra 21.5
Weather: Dome
Florida State:
Top Play(s) – QB Jordan Travis ($7,900) This might be a different answer if we had clarity on the running back situation. As of Friday night writing this, we do not, so we lean towards FSU’s best player in Travis who has now scored 20 fantasy points in six straight games. Biggest worry here is that the FSU running game dominates and the injuries are too much to overcome on the Syracuse side to where Travis isn’t needed. But I think the Cuse will show a bit more fight at home than Miami did last week.
Fade – WR Ontaria Wilson ($5,300) Did score a touchdown in the romp over Miami, but his playing time and targets have diminished over the last month. Just six targets and three catches over the last three weeks. Syracuse’s secondary is borderline elite, ranking 20th in success rate and 9th in explosiveness.
Bargain Bin – n/a
Pivot Play – RB Trey Benson ($5,000) Put away the volume distribution and snap counts – Trey Benson is the best running back on the Florida State roster. 10th in FBS in missed tackles forced. 11th nationally in yards per carry at 7.02. This is the reason why Florida State does not need to rush Ward back into the lineup with Benson rushing for 100+ yards in consecutive games. What started out as a top 30 rush defense is falling by the wayside, as Syracuse has allowed a 100-yard rusher in three straight games.
Best of the Rest – RB Lawrance Toafili ($5,100) Another play that is dependent on Treshaun Ward’s status. Toafili can be effective as a runner, but his value comes in the passing game with 204 receiving yards and 15 targets in the last three games. 50-50 split in carries with Benson with Ward out of the lineup.
Injury Notes – RB Treshaun Ward ($5,300) This is the big injury news for the slate because it drastically changes the projections for the other FSU running backs. Here’s the blurb from 247’s Thursday report – “**Norvell is optimistic that RB Treshaun Ward can return to action against Syracuse. He had a setback late last week that prevented him from playing against Miami (unless it was an emergency). As long as that doesn’t happen again this week, Ward could get back in the fold.” Stay tuned!
Syracuse:
This is all dependent on if Garrett Shrader ($5,200) plays on Saturday because caught a glimpse of what life is like without him under center last week against Pitt and resulted in just nine points and 145 yards of total offense. Pitt loaded the box, limiting Sean Tucker ($6,500) to just 19 yards on 10 attempts. QB Carlos Del Rio Wilson (5,500) completed nine passes for minimal yardage. WR Oronde Gadsden ($5,900) was goose-egged on five targets. And don’t ask Dino Babers for an update on Shrader or you’ll get a response like this – “I would say he’s got an owie that we’re sensitive to.” I hate these damn coaches.
California vs. Oregon State
Point-Spread: Oreg St -13.5
O/U Total: 47.5
Implied Score: Oreg St 30.5 – Cal 17
Weather: 41 degrees / 0% rain / 4 mph winds
California:
Top Play(s) – WR J. Michael Sturdivant ($5,200) Double-digit fantasy points in all but one game this season, and double-digit targets in three of the last four games. Won’t win you a GPP, but has been one of the most consistent wide receivers in the Pac-12 this season. Seasonal averages for WR1s vs. Oregon State are sitting right around where Sturdivant stands in 2022, averaging 16.7 FPPG.
Fade – QB Jack Plummer ($5,300) Advanced numbers like this Oregon State secondary quite a bit. 45th in success rate and 8th in limiting explosiveness through the air. But we’ve seen six different quarterbacks this season top 20 fantasy points against this secondary, and our projection sits around 250 passing yards and 19 fantasy points. Good enough at $5.3k? Too many other good QBs on the slate to even consider.
Bargain Bin – WR Mavin Anderson ($3,500) The clear third option in the passing game for Cal, but not a distant third. Third on the team in targets (46) and receptions (30) but tied for second in touchdowns (3) and second on the team in routes run in 2022. 18 of Anderson’s 30 receptions have come in the last four games alone.
Pivot Play – RB Jaydn Ott ($6,000) Breakout performance against USC last week in the comeback attempt, scoring 32 fantasy points while rushing for two scores, and catching seven passes on seven targets. Ott’s usage in the passing game is what sets him apart from some of the other RBs on the slate with 38 targets for the year. I don’t forsee Cal churning out a ton of yards on the ground here with the game script working against them, but Oregon State is 88th in rush play success rate defensively.
Best of the Rest – WR Jeremiah Hunter ($5,100) Overlooked because of the play of Sturdivant, but Hunter has been rock solid in his own right, ranked second on the team in touchdowns (3) and receptions (41), coming off a season-high 11 targets vs. USC last Saturday. Hunter actually has a higher aDOT (15.0) and yards per route run (2.44) over Sturdivant while averaging a similar number of targets (8.0) per game. Could be a decent pivot while most will play JMS.
Injury Notes – n/a
Oregon State:
Top Play(s) – RB Damien Martinez ($5,000) Finally a price bump for Martinez out of the min-priced range, but he’s still too cheap here after three straight 100-yard rushing performances. This is not a typical Justin Wilcox-led Cal defense, ranking middle of the pack of the Pac-12 in nearly every major statistical category. The Bears are allowing 17.7 FPPG to opposing RB1s this season, and Oregon State boasts one of the better offensive lines in the conference, ranking 34th in line yards and 30th in rush play success rate. The Beavers should dominate the trenches. I was going through the passing game options trying to find arguments to be made for some of those components, but not on an 8-game slate. The quarterback play has been atrocious and Oregon State runs the ball 60% of the time which is 15th nationally.
