I just read this article and think it will be of great use for anyone looking at this game. Oregon simply does not have anyone left on the offensive side of the ball that can make a play outside of Stewart. But, this article indicates that he is pretty banged up and has a hard time walking. Not the best condition to be in if you are a power back expected to carry the enitire offense vs a Beavs D giving up 1.9 yds a carry and giving up an avg 19 pts a game of the last 6 games - which included trips to Cal and USC. Could be another brutal day for the Oregon offense. On the otherhand, OSU is down 1 star reciever, 1 star RB and their stating QB. But, at least these guys have been out for a while and the reserves seem to be filling in adequately. Given how strong the Ducks D has been at Autzen, I gotta believe this has under written all over it. Beavs at even money seems like the way to go as well.
