On his podcast this week, college football analyst Joel Klatt talked about the upcoming 2024 Civil War game between the Ducks and the Beavers before giving a prediction for the outcome.
Klatt says what most are thinking around the country in that Oregon hasn’t played up to its potential, although the Ducks did come out victorious in both games. They avoided the upset that Notre Dame or Florida State couldn’t do.
But he did say the Ducks played awful, which might be a bit of a stretch when you consider the Boise State game. Oregon didn’t play great, but then he says Boise State could be a playoff team and Ashton Jeanty is one of the best running backs in the country.
And yet the Ducks still won, so go go figure.
Then he talks about the Beavers and how this game usually takes place in November as teams have had time to establish themselves. Since this game is so early now and Oregon State may lack some depth, playing this game now and in Corvallis is a huge advantage for them.
All of that may be true, but talent is talent and the team with the better quarterback wins most of the time, no matter where the game is played, which is why he says Dillon Gabriel could be the difference here before Klatt gives out his score prediction.
Here is the full segment of the Joel Klatt podcast show as he breaks down the Ducks and the Civil War.
