Oregon State returns home, for their next to last home game of the season this afternoon. It's a real throw-back feel, as its a 1:30 kickoff, for the first time in the modern tv era, and against a conference opponent in UCLA that the Beavers haven't seen in over 3 years. There are non-conference foes that are more familiar than the Bruins.
Further, substantial shakeup due to the coming and going of injuries, on top of total turnover of the system, leaves us with very little to base any prediction about how the game will go on.
Andy's Analysis:
This lack of familiarity, which goes both ways, thanks in large part to a long list of injuries that UCLA has had to work past, might actually be a good thing for the Beavers.
