This is his 1st ever meeting
Oregon State Beavers
The Beavers looked fairly impressive in their opening game, registering a good 24-7 win over a decent Utah side. Running back Yvenson Bernard was very impressive running for 165 yards and two touchdowns last week.
Of more concern will be the QB Sean Canfield who only managed to complete 8 of 19 passes for a very poor showing, he must improve to keep the starters job.
Many tipsters see Oregon as a dark horse for this season and some solid performances could see them improve on last years impressive 10 win season.
Cincinnati Bearcats
Cincy romped to a 59-3 opening day victory over SE Missouri State, this needs to be tempered with the fact that the opponents are a very poor team, little was learned fron the game.
This is the Bearcats only serious challenge before conference play starts so expect them to play hard to make a statement.
Cincinnati played a close game against Louisville and had an impressive win over Rutgers last year so they should be competitive.
Will their pass first offense be good enough to overcome one of the better defences in the Pac-10, we will see.
The Pick
Cincinnati will keep it close for the first half , Oregon States running game will ultimately show itself to be too powerful for the Cats. Expect the Beavers to win by 2 scores.
