This week, I will preview the Oregon State Beavers. They were at the bottom of the Pac-12 overall last season, but they do not have much to lose. The only key player that the Beavers will lose is running back Storm Barrs-Woods. Quarterback Seth Collins, tight end Ryan Nall, and wide receivers Hunter Jarmon, Victor Bolden, and Jordan Villamin will all return for the Beavers.
OSU opens the season against Minnesota of the Big Ten. Minnesota will win in overtime 27-24. Afterwards, the Beavers will take a bye week before hosting FCS Idaho State in their home opener. Even with an inept offense, the Beavers should win this game 21-17. Oregon State will play against Boise State the following week and probably lose 42-14.
The Beavers might be the only team in the Pac-12 to win less than 2 non-conference games over the non-conference slate. Now at 1-2, things will only get worse for the Beavers, who will probably lose the rest of their games. The leftover teams (and scores projections in parentheses) on Oregon State's schedule are Colorado (35-24 CU), California (49-24 Cal), Utah (38-17 Utah), Washington (41-14 UW), Washington State (56-17 WSU), Stanford (62-13 Stanford), UCLA (52-6 UCLA), Arizona (59-20 UA), and Oregon (59-23 UO).
I don't think that there's anything special or new coming up for OSU, Beaver fans. Oregon State will probably repeat what Cal did in 2013, with an 1-11 record. Oregon State will be at the bottom of the Pac-12 once again. Stay tuned for next week, Pac-12 fans! Next week, I will preview the team that everyone thinks will win the Pac-12: the Stanford Cardinal.
