Oregon State's Damien Martinez ranks second in the Pac-12 with 763 rushing yards (three behind USC's MarShawn Lloyd for the conference lead), and his 6.4 yards per carry rank sixth in the conference among players with a minimum of 30 attempts. Martinez started the season with three consecutive 100-plus yard games and has not eclipsed 90 yards in the five games since. However, he faces a Buffaloes defense that is coming off a physical game against UCLA, where the Bruins ran for 218 yards on 4.8 yards per rush, which allowed them to possess the ball for more than 33 minutes.
Oregon State entered last week with the fourth-best offense regarding Rush Success and a top-30 offensive line in Line Yards. It ran for 131 yards ag ainst Arizona, and its successful rushing attack was a big reason it converted half of its third down attempts. Look for the Beavers' physicality to wear down the Buffaloes as the game goes on and for Martinez to snap a five-game streak without a 97-plus-yard rushing day.
