Oregon State appears to have rediscovered its mojo at just the right time and the Beavers head to Eugene to face a Ducks squad that is reeling from injuries and a blowout administered

by the Utah Utes.

Storylines abound in what is perhaps the most significant edition of the still unnamed rivalry game since 2009.

This week, The Oregonian/OregonLive's Aaron Fentress, Nick Daschel and James Crepea join forces to break down all the various storylines on a special collaboration edition of the Ducks Confidential and Beaver Banter podcasts

They discussed:

• How OSU is feeling coming off huge win over ASU to move to 7-4 most wins since 2013. How will Ducks rebound after devastating loss at Utah 
• Who wins the battle between Oregon's defense and OSU's running attack
• Who has the edge in the quarterback battle?
• Breaking down the special teams storylines
• Which program needs a win Saturday more
