You won’t find any disparaging words about Oregon State from this sportswriter. No need for that.
The Beavers are in the second year in a slow rebuilding project under Gary Andersen. They had breakthrough two weeks ago when they upset Cal in overtime to end their 12-game Pac-12 losing streak.
They followed that up last week by pushing a ranked Utah team to the brink in Corvallis. The Utes held on for an ugly 19-14 victory.
Progress? Sure.
Hope? Not so much.
You won’t find much of a contest Saturday at Husky Stadium.
