This past Wednesday, Oregon State took I believe, a huge step in the winning direction.
Now, only a fool would think that overnight Oregon State will become the vaunted powerhouse they were, under Dennis Erickson. There is a lot of work to be done. However I earnestly believe Jonathan Smith is the man to do it.
Even the most optimistic Beaver fan will concede Oregon State is not a premier college football program right now. For those of you who played the old NCAA Football games, the Beavers would not be a 6 star prestige program right now (Like Alabama and Ohio State).
