CORVALLIS – Could the return to an old stomping grounds for an Oregon State coach work out favorably again for the Beavers?
OSU coach Jonathan Smith heads to Seattle this weekend for Saturday’s game against Washington, a place where the first-year Beavers coach earned a paycheck from 2014-17 as offensive coordinator.
Just three weeks ago, Oregon State went to Colorado, where Beavers offensive coordinator Brian Lindgren worked in a similar position from 2013-17. That time, it worked out well, as Oregon State rallied from a 31-3 deficit to beat the Buffaloes 41-34 in overtime.
The challenge is different, however.
