Oregon State will need to reverse some history to pick up a big win when they visit Utah this weekend. The Beavers have dropped their past five games on the road and have failed to cover in each of those contests. In three road games this season, Oregon has lost each by an average of 28.7 points per game.
What looked like their first winnable game in several weeks saw the Oregon State Beavers lose a snoozefest to Colorado. The Beavers have been downright hard to watch over the past few weeks, with the team allowing an average of 38.9 points per game and scoring just 18.8.
Utah is coming off an embarrassing loss to unranked USC. Utes fans biggest fears came to fruition when bad Travis Wilson showed up last week with the quarterback tossing four interceptions—this coming from a team that had only given up seven interceptions all season before the game.
