The Oregon State Beavers will aim for a quick recovery this Saturday as they take on the Purdue Boilermakers at Reser Stadium in Corvallis.
Currently holding a record of 2-1, the Beavers are coming off a disappointing home defeat to their rival Oregon, where they lost 49-14. Quarterback Gevani McCoy and the Oregon State offense will be looking to rebound against Purdue, which is 1-1 after suffering a significant 66-7 loss to Notre Dame last week.
Oregon State head coach Trent Bray addressed the challenge ahead during his weekly press briefing. “This is a big, physical, Big Ten team,” Bray noted. “They are effective at running the ball with various gap schemes and are also very physical and well-coached on defense. It will be a good challenge for us, and we need to take a step forward. We’ll be ready for Saturday.”
