Victor Bolden showed during the Civil War how dangerous he can be in the punt return game, but he struggled against Minnesota. Trevon Bradford and Seth Collins both got reps in practice at the position early in the week. If all goes according to Oregon State’s plans, there will be a number of punt return chances. Will Bolden be back there exclusively or will others get a chance?
It has been over two years since Oregon State led a game by more a touchdown at halftime (Hawaii in 2014). Even when the Beavers had two wins against non-Power Five conference opponents last year, the results were still in doubt at the games’ midway points.
