Back to the Oregon State Beavers Newsfeed

Look for the Ducks to rebound, the Beavers to struggle and the Vikings to become road warriors

Here are three things I'll be watching this week in college football.

-- Oregon opens Pac-12 play at home against Colorado (2:30 p.m./Pac-12 Networks), and I expect the Ducks to win going away.

The Buffaloes are better than they have been, but not good enough to beat an Oregon team still smarting from a three-point loss last week at Nebraska. Look for the Ducks to get a fast start and never let up.

-- Oregon State meets Boise State in a non-leaguer in Reser Stadium (12:30 p.m./FS1), and this is a difficult matchup for the Beavers.
