We'll win the toss and defer. Defense comes out stronger than imagined and forces a punt after a first down by OSU.

Boilers down the punt and take over on their 30.

Play 1: run, handoff outside the tackles
Play 2: pass, screen
Play 3: pass, long route across the middle
Play 4: pass, short corner route for 6

Never a fan of deferring unless you are tO$U or AL with NFL defensive players at nearly every position. Take the ball and ram it up the "A hole".

With that said: I see a more sustained drive. What can I say, I'm vanilla.
1) Run Zander Horvath between tackles at the weakest LB they have.
2) Slot WR on underneath route play action crossing pass
3) WR David Bell do your thing for a 1st down possession catch.
4) Zander Horvath pop pass with H back (i.e. two TE set) leading the way with a good WR rub to spring him
Keep the drive alive...for 10 plays to begin wearing down OSU.

If Purdue could get 75+ plays on offense, we should win controlling the ball and exhausting Oregon State on a likely hot humid night early in the season. I'm sure smarter coaches than I look and see that a daily 5 degree + humidity difference between Corvalis, OR and West Lafayette, IN should play in our favor when grinding them out. Hope any rain holds off that evening!
 
Horvath up the gut for 6
Horvath fake with a short pass to Durham for 13; 7 yac
Incomplete double move to bell who barely comes down out of bounds
Fake to Horvath plummer rolls looking for bell … gets 9 with his feet before stepping out

4. Punt.
 
Run the ball up the middle (try to establish the run game)
Run the ball up the middle (try to set the tone of the game)
A pass to Bell on an out route (incomplete)
Punt.

First series of the season are usually pretty ugly.

Sorry - I went to school during the Colletto years.
