Well, that escalated quickly in the second half.
Oregon State fell behind big, then came back, then got blown out after intermission in a 48-14 loss to Minnesota to wrap up nonconference play. The Beavers are now 1-2 heading into their Pac-12 opener at Washington State, with two lopsided losses to FBS teams and a come-from-behind win against lower-division opponent Portland State.
1. Remember when this game was 17-14? Or 20-14 at the half? OSU has been outscored 88-28 after intermission so far this season: 28-0 against Minnesota, 26-21 against Portland State and 34-7 against Colorado State.
