Oregon State Beavers Ready to Prove They are Real Against Dawgs

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — The Oregon State Beavers are back at home Saturday against Washington on a mission to prove their 45-27 thumping of the Trojans wasn’t a fluke. Oregon State is currently second in the Pac-12 North standings behind undefeated Oregon. Washington is third. Oregon State coach Jonathan Smith is in his fourth year and it appears at least early in the season that his rebuilding of the Beavers is paying off.
