For the second straight week, Oregon State played a competitive second half. Problem is: the first half was a blowout. Arizona State scored the first 30 points of the game, and never really felt threatened as they cruised through the second half, content to watch the clock tick down to zeroes.
The Beavers now sit at 1-10 on the season with only a road trip to Autzen Stadium left on the schedule. It's been a depressing few months for Oregon State faithful, but you know how this works: the Civil War often determines whether the offseason will be filled with optimism or filled with dread.
