Oregon State, quietly, is 6-1 on the year and controls its own destiny to reach its first-ever Pac-12 Championship game.
The Beavers’ schedule has plenty of breaks on it, most notably missing the Trojans, who beat them last year.
The Arizona Wildcats are not a team that OSU can afford to overlook.
On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I’m joined by Carter Bahns of BeaverBlitz.com and 247Sports’ national writing desk.
The Wildcats, already with three losses this year, are merely playing for bowl eligibility. That alone makes them a dangerous team to play in the desert.
We dive into the matchup to lay out what will ultimately define this year’s matchup between the Beavers and the Wildcats.
Arizona’s quarterback position has been very productive this season, but their running game is what makes them very dangerous.
