CORVALLIS — Going back through the game tape from Oregon State's 41-17 loss at No. 4 Washington isn't exactly an enjoyable experience for Gary Andersen. But it is a valuable one.
There are plenty of things to learn from a contest where the Huskies jumped out to a 31-0 halftime lead, which ultimately propelled them to victory. Such as how to handle "by far the most hostile environment that we've been in," where the Beavers burned all three of their first-half timeouts within the game's first 10 minutes. Or how, when going up against elite athletes, a mistake can turn a moderate play into a huge one.
