The Beavers have 15 starters back from last year’s 4-8 team and, while I'm expecting them to upset a few teams this season, I don't see it Saturday against Colorado State. The Rams debut their new stadium located on the campus -- a sellout -- and it’s the first college game of the season. What will also make it hard on Oregon State is trying to slow Colorado State QB Nick Stevens. Oregon State allowed 30.5 ppg last season. CSU returns its top four rushers and top two receivers from 2016 squad that averaged 35 ppg. Rams to roll here.
The Rams open a new stadium. In this scenario, home field should be worth a touchdown. Mike Bobo is a solid head coach and has the program headed in the right direction. Gary Andersen also is solid at Oregon State, but his team is still in rebuilding mode. Back Colorado State.
