1. Oregon State finished with 404 passing yards last week. Does that worry you at all, considering PSU gave up some quality passing yardage to CCU?

It was all in comeback-mode. This week, OSU will get some passes in there, like CCU, but it won't make a difference, like against Stanford. Plus, PSU will hold the ball much more than Stanford.

2. If there's one unit in particular that has to play well this week, which one is it? Which unit could disappoint?

The defensive line has to do well. It will be up to them to get pressure on the OSU quarterback and disrupt the running game... because... the linebackers will disappoint. Last week, the stars on defense came from the line and the secondary, I envision that again this week.

3. OK, elephant in the room. How big will the "5204" story get? If two of the players originally suspected of being there (*cough--thanks Collegian--cough-cough) weren't actually there at the time, how much of this has already been blown out of proportion? Does this effect Saturday's game?

ESPN hasn't even covered this story, so it's obviously a non-factor right now. Next week, though, when we all know more, watch out.
