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:
“To me a book is a message from the gods to mankind; or, if not, should never be published at all.... A message from the gods should be delivered at once. It is damnably blasphemous to talk about the autumn season and so on. How dare the author or publisher demand a price for doing his duty, the highest and most honourable to which a man can be called?”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“Of all the horrid, hideous notes of woe,
Sadder than owl-songs or the midnight blast,
Is that portentous phrase, “I told you so,”
Uttered by friends, those prophets of the past.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
