Coach:
Mike Riley

Last year:
10-4. The Beavers eked out a 39-38 win over Missouri in the Sun Bowl.

Offense: Sophomore Sean Canfield, who threw 45 passes last season, appears to have the edge over Lyle Moevao, who has no experience at the collegiate level. Four of five starters return from last season's excellent line. Yvenson Bernard is a consistent threat out of the backfield, and Sammie Stroughter is a game breaker, whether he's catching passes or returning punts.

Defense: This unit has lots of depth, lots of speed and three of the best linebackers -- Derrick Doggett, Alan Darlin and Joey LaRocque -- on the West Coast.

Schedule: Brutal. Four of the last six conference games are on the road, against California, USC, Washington State and Oregon.

Prediction: 8-4
