State of the Beavs: Big Changes To Start The Year At Oregon State
In this story:
The first week of transfer portal action was certainly eventful for the Oregon State football program. This week on State of the Beavs, your host Matt Bagley reacts to who left, who stayed, who's coming, and what's next over the next two weeks for the program...including the new coaching staff.
What exactly are Oregon State's options after losing Tristan Ti'a and what is JaMarcus Shephard's plan over the couple of weeks.
On the hardwood, Wayne Tinkle's group have lost two straight in blowout results against Pacific and Washington State. Bagley is joined by OSU basketball writer Ben Pahl to discuss what's going on with the Beavers and how they can pull out of their tailspin.
Scott Rueck's WBB squad have won five straight as they continue WCC play. There's plenty of challenge left for the Beavers, but how far can they take it?
All that, plus a quick look at this week's College Football Playoff Semifinal games. Go Beavs.
