On Nov. 3, in their game against
USC, the Beavers could not come
away with a win in the overtime
period. Head coach Dennis Erick
son considers that game the turning
point in their season.
“We went on the road and domi
nated a football game, and that’s
why it was such a tough loss for
us,” Erickson said.
From that point on, Erickson
said, the Beavers turned their sea
son around. Wins against Washing
ton on Nov. 10 and Northern Ari
zona the next week were powered
by an offensive explosion. Oregon
State’s 49 points against the
Huskies is the most the team has
tallied all season. The following
week, the Beavers posted 45 against
Division II Northern Arizona.
Even if the Beavers continue
with the momentum they have
gathered and become the spoiler
Saturday, the chance of prolong
ing their season is slim. The Pac
10 has five guaranteed bowl slots,
and six teams currently sit above
Oregon State.
The key for the Beavers on Satur
day will be to establish their run
ning game, led by tailbacks Ken Si
monton, Steven Jackson and
Patrick McCall. Erickson said that a
combination of things have con
tributed to the team’s offensive
resurgence, including better play
from the offensive line and big
plays from wide receivers James
Newson and Cole Clasen.
A sophomore, Newson has been
a frequent target for Smith’s passes,
and is coming off a seven-catch,
190 yard-game against Northern
Arizona. Tight end Tim Euhus has

Oregon hopes to avenge a 23-13 loss to Oregon State last year in Corvallis, where the
Ducks where met with a hostile crowd at Reser Stadium.
also been a reliable target for Smith,
averaging 13.1 yards per catch.
The Beavers have run up a total
of 1,018 offensive yards (497 of
which came against Washington) in
the past two games.
In the game against the Huskies,
quarterback Jonathan Smith was 18
for-28, for 317 yards and two touch
downs. He now seems to be return
ing to his form of the previous year,
when he lead the Beavers to an 11-1
record. But he knows he will face a
tough test at Autzen Stadium.
“We can’t turn the ball over,”
Smith told the Corvallis Gazette
Times. “You’ve got to try to keep
the crowd out of it. Obviously,
we’re going to have to score, be
cause they’re going to score some
points. They’ve got a great offense
over there.”
The Beavers will need both
Smith and Simonton to step up. In
Simonton’s previous three games
against the Ducks, he has rushed for
an average of 111 yards and for sev
en total touchdowns.
Along with the two well-known
offensive threats, Oregon State has
15 other seniors on the team, in
cluding McCall, linebacker James
Allen, defensive end Kyle Rosselle,
free safety Jake Cookus — who had
three interceptions last year off Har
rington — and tight end Mark
Walsh.
With the help of these graduating
seniors, Erickson hopes his team
can maintain its high level of play.
“Hopefully, we can play like we
did against Washington this Satur
day,” he said. “But it's been an up
and-down year.”
