In area college football, the Beavers come out of their bye week Saturday to host fellow Pac-12 member Washington State.
With just one win in the books, OSU hopes to pull off an upset against the 4 - 4 Cougars.
Earlier this week, Interim Head Coach Robb Akey said the time off was important, and it rejuvenated the team physically and mentally.
Saturday’s game starts at 4:30 p.m. in Corvallis. It's the first of two games scheduled between the only Pac-12 teams. The second will be Nov. 29.
The No. 6 Ducks have a bye this week, and will travel to Iowa to take on the Hawkeyes on Nov. 8.
