Oregon State are one win away from reaching bowl eligibility in JaMarcus Shephard's first season as head coach after a 48-30 victory against the Washington State Cougars. Of course, we dive into a recap of the action from that contest as Jesse Legree, AJ Newberry, and the rest of the Beavers continue to spearhead a monumental turnaround. Hear audio from Takari Hickle and Trey Glasper about that result.
However, it's also important to note that after the contest, Shephard was quick to offer condolences to the families of the victims of last weeks' tragic shooting in Bend at Silver Rail Elementary. Hear Shephard's comments, and why they matter to the state and the college football community at-large.
After that, your host Matt Bagley dives into three questions that have arisen in our minds about the Beavers' season following the hot start.
All that, and the five college football games you should watch this week as the Beavers get a bye week to prepare for a road matchup with Fresno State to close the month of October. Go Beavs.
