Oregon State’s “Spring Game” to prepare for the fourth season of Beavers football under Jonathan Smith’s tutelage was a solid display of the future of the program on Saturday. With quarterback Tristan Gebbia still out due to injury, back-up Chance Nolan lead the first team offense behind what looked like a fairly decent offensive line. Right tackle Brandon Kipper is still the anchor of a group that will need to make life easier for BJ Baylor and Ta’Ron Madison, the replacements for star back Jermar Jefferson.
In the passing game, tight end Luke Musgrave caught a touchdown pass, as a switch-up diversion to a group of speedy receivers including Champ Flemings and Tyjon Lindsey.
