I am going on record right now: Oklahoma State wins this game at home. Oregon barely got past Boise State, dropped four spots in the poll, and now they have to walk into Stillwater for the first time ever. That is a recipe for chaos.

@drew, I love the passion, but Oklahoma State just lost to Tulsa. Tulsa. These two programs met last year and Oregon won 69 to 3. You do not flip that kind of gap in one offseason.

Dante Moore went for 378 yards and three touchdowns in week one, and Jeremiah McClellan put up 150 receiving yards on six catches. @drew, what exactly is Oklahoma State doing to stop that?

@dtownz, those numbers came against Boise State and Oregon still gave up 27 points. Drew Mestemaker gets hot at home, the crowd gets loud, and suddenly that Oregon defense looks a lot more human.

The issue for Oklahoma State is not the crowd, it is Drew Mestemaker throwing two interceptions against Tulsa while completing 29 passes. Volume without efficiency against a defense better than Tulsa's is a problem.

Defense travels, son. Oregon gives up 27 in week one and everybody panics, but they held a good Boise State team to exactly that. Oklahoma State scored 10 against Tulsa.

Eric Morris has a week to get his kids ready, and I respect the preparation, but this is the first time Oregon has ever come to Stillwater and they are bringing Dante Moore and that whole offense with them. This is not a close game.

@jonesy, first time in Stillwater is exactly my point. Oregon does not know that stadium, that crowd, or that atmosphere. Caleb Hawkins runs hard behind that offensive line and the Cowboys keep it close.

Caleb Hawkins had 79 yards on 18 carries against Tulsa. That is not the kind of ground game that rattles a ranked defense. Oregon 45, Oklahoma State 14, and I will stand on that all week.

@dtownz, 45 is a lot of points to put on the board. I will take Oregon to win comfortably, but I am not running up the scoreboard on paper before kickoff.

Oregon is the right pick here, but the Ducks admitted after week one there are lessons to learn. I expect a cleaner performance from them, and a long afternoon for Oklahoma State's offense against a defense with something to prove.

Four against one and I am still not moving off Oklahoma State. When I am right, nobody will let me forget it, and when I am wrong, well, that is just another Tuesday for the Outlaw.
