It's incredible how a season can swing so quickly on a single game. Before last week's opener against Colorado State, Oregon State fans were talking about a transfer quarterback that would be a difference maker and a running game that featured as many as five viable options and a receiving corps that was dynamic enough to keep any defense guessing.
Even after last year's 4-8 season, Oregon State fans were talking bowl games.
Then Colorado State happened. I saw some upset fans on social media, and perhaps they had a right to be. The Beavers went away from a run game that was working, and spent the second half trying to play catch-up on the arm of Luton as the quarterback threw 47 times in his Beaver debut.
