The Oregon State offense (#62) isn't very good, but they have also had to play a murderer's row of Pac-12 defenses the last few weeks. Washington, WSU, Stanford and UCLA is brutal on your self-esteem, and you have to think they are excited to see Arizona's awful defense on the schedule, right before they get Oregon's awful defense. They actually played pretty well in some of those games too, so Arizona might have their hands full with this otherwise bad offense.
Oregon State is darn near excellent at Play Efficiency. They do put up a decent amount of yards per play controlling for everything the model does. They are also pretty good on 3rd down and at D-plus Plays when you control for their SOS.
Oregon State is very bad at Drive Efficiency, Explosive Drives, and Negative Drives. They don't put up a lot of points for the yards they put up, they lack consistency, and they do go 3 and out pretty often. They really need to try to be more explosive in this game and against Oregon. Plenty of teams have put up big plays on those defenses.

Arizona's defense (#110) might still catch Cal or Oregon as the worst defense in the Pac-12 if they blow it really badly against their next two opponents, OSU and ASU, who don't have sterling offenses. Arizona lucked out a bit in that Colorado seemed disinclined to pour it on like WSU did the previous week. The Buffs could have easily blown the doors off Arizona, but instead they burned clock quickly and moved on to the next game. Even with as bad as the Beaver offense is, this is going to be a tough game for Arizona.
Arizona is OK at Negative Drives. They are good at 3rd down when you control for SOS.
Arizona is really bad at Drive Efficiency, Play Efficiency, and Explosive Drives. They also don't generate D-plus Plays. Yates is connecting with the blitz sometimes, but not often enough, and it leaves the defense vulnerable. The chose a really weird game to play it straight; against WSU, because WSU has the pure talent to beat them badly straight up. They should be more careful on blitzing against OSU, but not rule out blitzing entirely. Find a middle ground.
