In this story:
The Oregon State Beavers will enjoy a bye week this week before getting to work in preparing for their final game of the 2025 season- a rematch in Pullman against the Washington State Cougars on November 29.
Here is how the Cougars have fared in the past few weeks and what the Beavers can expect as they close the book on a season most fans would like to forget.

The Cougars won’t have the same luxury the Beavers have with a bye week before the two teams matchup. Wazzu will tavel across the country to take on James Madison, who sit at 9-1 on the season. Oregon State and Washington State last played on November 1, with the Beavers taking a 10-7 decision that saw Cougars quarterback Zevi Eckhaus toss two interceptions.
The Cougars may be in store for a different type of game when the Beavers travel up to Pullman. Oregon State quarterback Tristan Ti’a should see more playing time as he was effective against Tulsa, going 8/11 through the air for 141 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions.
WSU and OSU kick off for the second time this season on The CW, November 29 at 3:30 p.m.
