It’s a huge game for a couple of reasons for Oregon, the chance to get your season kind of back on track with a big statement, win.

I mean, I, I still think Oregon is a, is a, a top team in the country.

I still think they have the talent.

IIII I think they’re gonna be ok throughout this season, but we’re gonna find out, find out a lot about Dylan Gabriel when he gets to play a rival and, uh, and, and see how organ performs for Oregon State.

I mean, this is a, this is a statement game for Oregon State.

Think about the conference realignment implications that this has their, their rival.

Oregon gets taken out of the PAC 12 goes to the big 10.

Everyone’s raving about how great organ is as a program and the little brother Oregon State is stuck without a conference and this is Oregon State’s chance to prove they belong in a power conference in college football.

Uh They just went on the road and shut out San Diego State.

Oregon State still has good players.

Their culture is well established because of what Jon Jonathan Smith did there.

It’s kind of a kind of a savior type game.

This is an Oregon State’s job interview.

Pick me to be in the big 12, please.
