Expect them to be dialed in here at home on Friday night. Meanwhile, the Beavers are in a revenge spot after a road loss at Utah last season, and coming off a really tough road loss at Washington State last week. If it’s Rising, while he’ll remain cool under pressure, this is a really tough game to ask him to go out there and knock the rust off. If the freshman Nate Johnson continues to play, he hasn’t had the offense doing much, and would be in over his head in this environment. As for the QB situation, I like the Beavers regardless. I’m not sure that type of defensive performance will be maintained going to Corvallis for a rowdy Friday night game. Sure, the Utes are tough defensively, but we haven’t seen them tested away from home yet - unless you count a win that they struggled to earn against a poor Baylor team. They started off with a defensive touchdown, and ultimately won 14-7 in a game the offense only managed seven points. Rising wound up sitting, but the Utes got an impressive home victory, fueled by their defense. That was because we are still awaiting the return of Cam Rising, and we got various reports about his status throughout the week. Utah got a big home win last week over UCLA in a game that saw the spread bounce all over the place. It looked like a good spot then, and after the results we got last week, it’s now become an even stronger spot. I’ve has this spot circled since before the season, and actually made a small bet on Oregon State before the season began.
