Civil War Notes

You have likely heard that Quiz is doubtful for the game saturday. Sure this is a big problem losing the top rushing freshman in the nation. Not only will we miss is 5 yards/carry average, but we will also miss his ability to make plays after the catch on his screen plays.

But as good as Quiz is, this should NOT affect the outcome of the game. The Ducks are the worst team in the Pac-10 regarding their passing defense, and the Beavs are the best team in the conference for passing offense. I know that may be hard to believe if you have followed Beaver football for sometime, usually we do our damage on the ground. This year we have been so effective in the passing game.

Players like Shane Morales have really stepped up this year. Plus our yards after the catch really help. Stroughter and James Rodgers are play makers, as long as at least those two are healthy, and we can get them the ball in space, I like our chances.
