Oregon State Looking for Third Straight Win

Oregon State comes into this game with an 8-2 record overall and they really dominated the last game. Oregon State’s offense scored 62 points against Stanford, and that was enough for the blowout victory. One of the big transfers this offseason was DJ Uiagalelei coming over from Clemson. He completed 12 of his 29 passes for 240 yards and two touchdowns. Oregon State is averaging 37.9 points while their defense is giving up 20.5 points per game. The offense is ranked 14th and they are going to need the offense to be strong here.

Shane's Free Pick

Washington is going to keep their perfect season alive. Michael Penix Jr is having a huge season and in his last game he threw for three touchdowns. In this one he’s going to throw at least three touchdowns, and that is going to be the difference here. Even with the offense for Oregon State having a good game isn’t going to be enough to keep up and Washington is going to get the job done. Back Washington against the spread here.
