CORVALLIS - In spite of a string of one-sided results, Oregon State football coach Gary Andersen said Monday the Beavers were showing improvement amid the most challenging schedule stretch they'll face in 2017.
Sitting at 1-4 following losses to No. 21 Washington State and No. 6 Washington, OSU will play at No. 14 USC on Saturday in Los Angeles. The Beavers have lost their last two games by a combined score of 94-30. And while Andersen said there have been signs of development, he also acknowledged how far his team is from expectations.
"They're gaining ground," Andersen said at his Monday news conference.
