Week 7 Matchups to Watch: Heavyweight Battle in the Trenches

There are differences in scheme and focus areas, but UCLA and Oregon State come into week 7 with very similar seasons. Both are 5-1, ranked in the top 20, and have knocked off top 15 teams in recent weeks. While Oregon State took down a Utah team that defeated UCLA 14-7 earlier this year, the Bruins shut down the Washington State passing attack that crippled the Beavers in a 25-17 win last week.

To emphasize the evenness of the two teams, the Beavers and Bruins have three common opponents so far this year (San Diego State, Utah, and Washington State).
