The home team won every game played between 1998 and 2006.
The eight-game win streak by Oregon from 2008-15 tied for the Ducks' longest in the series. UO had won eight straight between 1975 and 1982. The 0-0 tie in 1983 snapped that streak. The Beavers longest win streak in the series, at eight games, came from 1964-71.

Starts —

Fifteen of those 28 have come on defense, with 13 on the offensive side of the ball.

Painted Into A Corner —

Oregon State's injury situation at cornerback has been staggering this year. Beaver season opening starters Xavier Crawford, a 2016 Freshman All-American, and Dwayne Williams have been sidelined for a majority of the season. Here is a closer look:
Xavier Crawford – Started first five games, missed last six.
Dwayne Williams – Started first three games, missed last eight.
Jay Irvine – missed three of last six games. Played against Arizona and Arizona State.
Isaiah Dunn – Spent first four games on redshirt alert and went from that status to starter vs. Washington (started 5 of last 7 games).
Jaydon Grant – Played as a reserve first three games and has been out since with injury.
Shawn Wilson – Started four of first eight games, but missed game versus California. Started against Arizona, then did not play against Arizona State.

Nall Academic All-District —

Ryan Nall was named CoSIDA Academic All-District prior to the game with the Sun Devils. A speech communication major with a minor in leadership, he is one of two running backs on the District 8 team.
Nall is now eligible to be named an Academic All-American. The first and second teams will be announced in December.
Nall will be vying to become the fifth different Oregon State player to be named an Academic All-American. Previous OSU selections include Terry Baker (1962), Bill Enyart (1967 and 1968), Chad Paulson (1992 and 1993) and Aaron Koch (1999).

Can He Get There? —

Manase Hungalu comes into the Civil War with 94 tackles on the season. He is looking to become the first Oregon State player with 100 or more tackles in a season since Ty Zimmerman led OSU with 104 in 2013.
Should Hungalu reach 100, he would be the first Oregon State linebacker to reach that mark since Trent Bray totaled 116 in 2005. Only he, Zimmerman and Greg Laybourn (113 in 2008) have hit the century mark since the 2005 season.
Hungalu's 20 tackles against California on Nov. 4 tied him with Andre Harris for fourth-most in a single game by an OSU player, and sent the Hawaiian native to Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week honors. The 20 tackles are also tied for the fourth-most by an FBS player this season.
