Assistant coach Ilaisa Tuiaki starts balancing two position groups: Oregon State Beavers rundown

CORVALLIS -- Ilaisa Tuiaki had a sense the question was coming. As Gary Andersen rounded out his staff, Oregon State's new linebackers coach figured he would add special teams to his responsibilities. 

"It wasn't anything that I was going to try and avoid," Tuiaki said Tuesday.

Early last month, Andersen made Tuiaki's double duty official with a news release. It was a logical move considering he had served as Andersen's special teams coach from 2009-10 at Utah State. 

With the Spring Game nearing, Tuiaki is still navigating how to best balance his two position groups.
