All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Stanford vs Oregon State Game Preview


Why Stanford Will Win

There’s nowhere to go but up for an offense that hit the skids over the last few games.

The passing attack is bad, the running game worse, and offensive production has dropped in each of the last four games after shocking Oregon.

So where’s the positive?

Oregon State’s pass rush isn’t anything special, the secondary gives up too many yards, and its offense isn’t quite as strong as it needs to be. And then there’s the other side of the ball.

If you’re giving over 500 yards to Cal and 37 points to Colorado, there’s an issue. The Oregon State defense is struggling at just the wrong time, but …

Why Oregon State Will Win

441 yards. That’s how many rushing yards Utah just blasted away for in an ugly 52-7 win over Stanford.

The week before that, Washington ran for 229 yards, and that’s all a part of a rough run of allowing 200 rushing yards or more in every game but the win over USC and the loss to Washington State, who doesn’t really run because it’s too busy throwing.

Oregon State’s defense might be struggling, but the downfield passing game is good and the running game has been great. The Beavers lead the Pac-12 in rushing offense, and they’re about to tear off well over 200 yards before they get off the bus.

What’s Going To Happen

Can Stanford pull a big win out of nowhere?

It pushed Washington State and Washington in losses, and there’s still that win over Oregon to kick back and enjoy.

The Utah loss was a major, potential program-changing disaster.

Oregon State will keep the misery going with a massive day from the running attack, but Stanford’s passing game will do just enough to keep up. It won’t be a brutal blowout, but it’ll be a fifth straight loss for the Cardinal.

Why Stanford Will Win

What’s Stanford doing right in its two-game winning streak? The passing game hasn’t been bad throughout the year, the running game has been okay at times, and overall, the offensive line is fine.

This isn’t a dominant offense, but the Cardinal have rushed for over 190 yards twice in the four games and Oregon State has the Pac-12’s second-worst run defense.

While 190 yards might not seem like a lot, the 2019 Stanford offense failed to run for the mark last year and did it only once in the previous 28 games before this season.

Oregon State isn’t generating a lick of pressure in the backfield.

Week 15 College Schedule

Why Oregon State Will Win

Jermar Jefferson is back.

He missed the Utah game after having to sit out due to COVID contact tracing protocols, but all is fine and now he’s in. He was coming off an epic 226-yard day against Oregon, averaging 7.4 yards per carry for the season with seven touchdowns in the four games.

The Stanford run defense hasn’t been miserable, but it’s allowed over 200 yards twice in the four games and, like Oregon State’s D, the line isn’t generating any pressure, either. That’s part of the reason why the Cardinal are dead last in college football in third down defense – allowing teams to convert a whopping 57% of the time.

What’s Going To Happen

Thanks to the protocols in Santa Clara county, Stanford is playing on the four the fourth time now in five games.

Oregon State is a different team with Jefferson in the backfield, and it needs him with starting QB Tristan Gebbia out for the year with a hamstring injury suffered late against Oregon. Freshman QB Chance Nolan wasn’t bad in the loss to Utah, but he missed almost half of his passes.

Stanford will swarm all over Jefferson, and Nolan won’t be able to pick up the slack. Stanford’s D might be awful on third downs, but Oregon State’s O is awful at converting and won’t take advantage of the opportunities.
