CORVALLIS -- Oregon State will hold its annual spring game Saturday afternoon at Reser Stadium.
Since the game technically marks the second scrimmage of the spring -- the Beavers will hold three more practices next week -- coach Gary Andersen promised a "hard and heavy" two-hour session. The quarterback battle between Utah State transfer Darell Garretson, sophomore Marcus McMaryion and early enrollee Mason Moran will take center stage, while several key defensive roles need to be filled after the Beavers struggled mightily on that side of the ball last season.
Here's a primer with game info, a links roundup and projected starting lineup.
