What’s at stake: Following a disappointing 1-2 run through nonconference play, Oregon State now begins a brutal start to the Pac-12 slate with a trip to No. 20 Washington State. Can the Beavers’ defense finally slow down Luke Falk and the Cougars’ explosive Air Raid offense? Can OSU’s offense finally find rhythm? The Beavers will need a dramatic turnaround on both sides of the ball to pull off the big upset on the road.
