Oregon State football coach Gary Andersen joined me on the Bald Faced Truth radio show (12-3p on 750-AM and 102.9-FM) on Wednesday, and explained why he'd prefer to play Texas or Florida or Michigan in non-conference games instead of this week's opponent, Boise State.
"Our other three games, you'd like to schedule to a position of having a good opportunity to win that game in your setting and be able to put yourself in a good position recruiting," Andersen said. "... if we're going to play those games, lets have them return to us. We go play Michigan, then Michigan should play here.
