In the long and storied history of the rivalry game between Oregon and Oregon State, it's safe to say that there's never been a meeting so bittersweet. Sixth-ranked Oregon is departing for the Big Ten next season, and No. 15 Oregon State will stay as one of two remaining teams in the Pac-12 with Washington State. While Washington and Washington State have agreed to continue the Apple Cup, no such deal has been struck between the Ducks and the Beavers.
Friday's meeting could be the last rivalry game between the two Oregon teams for the foreseeable future. Oregon is departing to the Big Ten next season, while Oregon State and Washington State are left alone in the Pac-12 after the conference collapsed over the summer. KEY MATCHUP Oregon State's best chance on offense will be its running game, led by Damien Martinez, who ran for two touchdowns last weekend against the Huskies and is ranked second in the Pac-12 with an average of 104.3 yards rushing per game.
The Pac-12 has hit the final stretch of what may be the conference's final season. It's been a wild ride so far, with two teams in contention for the College Football Playoff and the second spot in the Pac-12 championship game against No. 4 Washington still up for grabs. The Ducks' quarterback has been stellar in his second season since transferring from Auburn.
