1. Sean Mannion - He is the best player on the field, enough said on that. He has three years as QB under his belt and he will do everything possible to win the game.
2. Offensive Line - They average a weight of 332 lbs across the line, they are ready to dominate the line of scrimmage. Andrews, Sapolu, Mitchell, Bays, Harlow, Ossai, etc. These boys have the attitude and are ready to rumble.
3. Banker - New Defensive Scheme and a new attitude. Every player has spoke out about the difference between 1997 Banker and 2014 Banker, we will see a much improved defense on 9/27.
4. Speed, Speed, Speed - This is the fastest OS team has been in a long time. Victor Bolden, Storm Woods, Terron Ward, James Rodgers, Jacquizz Rodgers, Brandin Cooks, etc. The newbies will be inexperienced but will bring something that they haven't had in past seasons, speed.
5. Time of Possession - I think OS can dominate the time of possession stat. The more they can shorten the game and keep their defense off of the field, the better chance they have to win the game.
As much as we all wood heart Seven losing they won't at home, and the duck d-staff will be enough to cover my afternoon play. SS will have a few more beat downs but we will have to wait a week.
I appreciate the general feelings that HH's want the Beavs to win this game because Seven; it's not going to happen and here's why:
- Mannion has not and cannot win a big game.
- The game has progressed beyond Riley's capabilities. The downward trend is real and Riley can't compete at the top level of the Pac-12 with 2 star recruits and a pro-style offense. Forget "4 loss Riley" he's now "5+ loss Riley." But 2012? But still.
- Depth has always been an issue at OSEwe ("lol"). The losses of Bolden and Semualo are huge for this game.
- ?????????
- Profit. (take the trojans and lay the points)
I realize this is weeks late, but did any take my advice and Profit!?

I think OS wins rather easily, say 34-17?
