I mean the Beavers of Oregon State.Oregon State has been one of the most electrifying football teams nationwide all season long. The tandem of the Rodgers brother, Jacquizz and James, has burned every team that they have played all season long.Sean Canfield has thrown for 2797 yards and 19 touchdowns to go along with Jacquizz Rodgers' 1313 rushing yards, 436 receiving yards, and 14 passing yards. Rodgers hasaccumulated a total of 20 touchdowns throughout the season as well.In the receiving unit, Canfield's favorite target has been Jacquizz Rodgers' brother and published poetry writer, James Rodgers. The brilliant mind of Chip Kelly battling the intricate mind of Mike Riley. These are two brilliant coaches, that is what any fan needs to understand first and foremost.The thursday night duel between the two Oregon teams will have speed at a premium. The Rodgers brothers, Jeremiah Masoli, and LaMichael James will all look to utilize their speed on the surface of the Ducks' field. 
Oregon has already established a dominanthome-field advantage this season, just ask Pete Caroll and his USC Trojans In this game, defense is the key obviously. Both of these teams have electrifying players as we have mentioned, it comes down to what team will be able to contain better.Neither team's defense has been "top notch" this year. Other than a 34-7 schlacking delivered to Portland State, Oregon State has not held oneopponent to single digits yet. In fact, the Beavers have allowed 20 or more points in 6 of their 11 games.
Yet, after the shoot out with USC that ended in a 42-36 USC victory on October 24th, the Beavers have given up 20 points only once.Oregon State's three losses this year have all come to good teams: Cincinnati, Arizona, and USC. I bring this up to show that even against very good teams, such as Cincinnati, the Beavers offense does not get shut down. 18 against Cincinnati, 32 against Arizona, and 36 against USC.In 5 of the Beavers' past 6 games, they have scored 30 points or more, against teams such as Stanford, California, and USC. This is an offense that is rarely held down, even by the best of defenses.Now we move over to the green and gold, the quack attack, so to speak. First and foremost, I want to say that I hope LeGarrette Blounte gets a chance to play in this game. What the young man did was very wrong and I am in no way attempting to justify it I do however believe in second chances.
