Season Notes
The team returned 16 starting players from the previous season and was predicted by some analyists to contend for second place in the Pac-10. They returned a majority of the defense, which was ranked second in the nation for total sacks, eighth in the nation in tackles for loss, and within the top 20 in rushing defense in the 2006-07 season. CFN picked the Beavers in their preseason top 25 and claims they are a "heavy sleeper for big things" in the 2007 season. The Beavers ended up finishing the season 9-4, good for third place in the Pac-10, and winning the Emerald Bowl 21-14. Their run defense finished first in the nation for fewest rushing yards allowed per game.

Famous quotes containing the words season and/or notes:
“Methoughts a legion of foul fiends
Environed me, and howled in mine ears
Such hideous cries that with the very noise
I trembling waked, and for a season after
Could not believe but that I was in hell,
Such terrible impression made my dream.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“‘Tis the gift to be simple ‘tis the gift to be free
‘Tis the gift to come down where you ought to be
And when we find ourselves in the place just right
‘Twill be in the valley of love and delight.”
—Unknown. ‘Tis the Gift to Be Simple.
