Oregon State vs. Boise State

There should be some fireworks in Idaho tonight. OSU gets a chance to help prove that the Pac-10 isn't soft, but theyll have to beat a decent Bronco team on the road. Yvenson Bernard is likely to be the focal point of the OSU attack, but it should be interesting to see how much time Matt Moore spends on the bench. Sean Canfield played much better than Moore a week ago and likely has earned some playing time tonight. Jared Zabransky's job is safe at Boise State and he leads a talented offense against an unproven Beaver secondary. They were awful last year, and one game versus Eastern Washington didn't truly show if they have improved. Since both teams are likely to light it up if given time to throw, this one is probably going to be won in the trenches. The Beavers have a little more to prove than Boise State, who have shown they're one of the top non-BCS programs in the country. If the Beavers offensive line can keep holes open for Bernard, hopefully the Beavers can take this one.

Brian's Pick: OSU
Mike's Pick: OSU
