Oregon State scored 433 points and opponents scored 301 points on the Beavers. The surprising part of the Beavers 2003 campaign was the outstanding play of their defense. OSU ranked fourth in the nation against the run (84.4 ypg) and 37th against the pass (204.3 ypg). OSU has no players on the first or second team Sports Illustrated All America.

Max, they got a decent pass rusher and one decent sized tackle ... you know damned well they won't hold up against the LSU OL ... right in the gut We're gonna use this standard LSU shotgun formation to tear 'em a new one ... spread 'em and shred 'em ... just keep handing off to Vincent on those sprint draws The Reverend "Moly" ... you know, Holy Moly ... will be present to read OSU their last rites ... cause of death ... SPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED In the words of our deceased bard Marlon Brando ... "The horror, the horror"
LSU's OL has had it's biggest problems with undersized quick defensive linemen, however this should be our best and deepest OL in many many years. I think early on their little guys will make some plays but we should wear them down in the 2nd half. They have also never seen the speed and athleticism we will throw at them with our offense. If Randall can read the D and hit his open recievers enough to keep them from crowding the line then the LSU side of the scoreboard should change often. We do have a tendancy to start sesons off slow offensively but OSU isn't as big a cupcake as we usually start off with so the troops should be fired up and ready to play. I look for a semi tight first half then LSU's depth and superior talent to widen the gap in the 2nd half. LSU 31-OSU 13
