State of the Beavs: Oregon State Football Looks To Sustain Momentum Against San Diego State
In this story:
Welcome to this week's episode of State of the Beavs, our weekly podcast highlighting what you need to know about Oregon State football, basketball, baseball, and more. Subscribe and listen at the links below!
To start their first conference schedule in the relaunched Pac-12, the Oregon State Beavers picked up a blowout win over Colorado State this past weekend. Braden Atkinson and Jesse Legree continued their impressive run of form and the tight ends also got heavily involved en route to the 56-26 result. Time to review that result and what else worked for JaMarcus Shephard to get his team to a 3-2 record on the year.
This Saturday, the Beavers host a 2-3 San Diego State squad, who are coming off of a dramatic 31-29 win over the Texas State Bobcats. What challenges does Sean Lewis' team present to the Beavers as the Aztecs deal with a mumps outbreak? Are they ready to surprise some conference foes themselves?
In addition to our thoughts, you'll hear clips from Shephard's media availability, as well as offensive coordinator Mitch Dahlen and defensive coordinator Mike MacIntyre.
All that, plus a look at the five college football games that Matt Bagley thinks you should watch this weekend.
Thank you for your support of the show, and as always, Go Beavs.
