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:
“The hour of the waning of love has beset us,
And weary and worn are our sad souls now;
Let us part, ere the season of passion forget us,
With a kiss and a tear on thy drooping brow.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Or bid the soul of Orpheus sing
Such notes as, warbled to the string,
Drew iron tears down Pluto’s cheek,
And made Hell grant what love did seek;”
