Oregon State football is either very lucky or very unlucky. It’s tough to say. The toughest teams in the Pac-10 are making the trip to Corvallis. The problem for OSU is that while it appears the team improved, most of the other teams in the Pac-10 have improved too. OSU’s home games won’t be easy, but they have a shot in every game.
The first home Pac-10 game is Sept. 30 against California. Despite USC’s recent dominance, I think Cal is going to be the team to walk away with the conference title. The backfield returns its two impressive running backs, Marshawn Lynch and Justin Forsett, and has two fairly good options at quarterback in Joe Ayoob and Nate Longshore.
Equally as impressive as the running backs are the receivers Cal boasts. DeSean Jackson is entering his second year and is capable of changing a game with his speed and playmaking.
Although the Golden Bears are a tough team, they are inexperienced on the offensive line. They have just one returning starter. It’s a safe bet OSU is going to try and attack that young group when the conference home opener rolls around.
