Beavers, Beatdowns, and Bearkats: LA Tech Recap and Oregon State Preview

We keep it real after a 55–14 thud at Louisiana Tech. The run game flashed (hello, Elijah Green), but red-zone choices and tackling told the story. We talk availability reports, injuries up front, and why context matters when you give up chunk plays all night. Then it’s on to Corvallis: Oregon State is stabilizing under an interim and toggling two different QBs; here’s how that stresses a defense that’s thin at DT. If Mabry Matoyer starts while Hunter Watson mends, expect a different menu. Also on deck: women’s soccer’s penalty-kick thriller (Bond’s saves, Murray’s winner) and a semifinal exit to Liberty; women’s hoops locking up but searching for efficiency; men’s hoops cruising as Damon Nicholas looks the part. We wrap with lines, ranges, and our pick: Beavers cover unless the Bearkats finish drives.
