The Oregon State Beavers aim to recover quickly as they prepare to face the Purdue Boilermakers on Saturday at Reser Stadium in Corvallis.
Coming off a disappointing home defeat against their rivals, the Oregon Ducks, the Beavers (2-1) are looking to regain their momentum after a 49-14 loss. Quarterback Gevani McCoy and the OSU offense are set to challenge Purdue (1-1), which also experienced a tough week with a 66-7 loss to Notre Dame.
“Big, physical, Big Ten team,” said Oregon State coach Trent Bray in his weekly press conference. “They do a good job running the ball, with various gap schemes. They’re physical on defense and well-coached. It’ll be a good challenge, and we need to take another step forward. We’ll be ready for Saturday.”
