COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Beavers wideout adjusting well to new coach, new system, and new QB
By ANNE M. PETERSON
Associated Press
CORVALLIS — Ask Oregon
State receiver Victor Bolden what
he did this summer, and he’ll reel
off the rote football-related answers
about putting in time at the gym
and conditioning. But then a smile
spreads across his face.
“My summer GPA was a 4.0,” he
said. “I’m most proud of that.”
Bolden, a junior majoring in
public health, is about to embark
on a pivotal season, not just for the
Beavers but also for himself, with a
new coach and a new system.
Oregon State is coming off a 5-7
season, after which longtime coach
Mike Riley unexpectedly bolted for
Nebraska. The Beavers hired Gary
Andersen, who had spent the last
two seasons at Wisconsin, leading
the Badgers to a 19-7.
Andersen and Riley couldn’t be
more different as coaches, Bolden
said. Not taking anything away

detail-oriented.
Andersen is one of the reasons
Bolden was inspired academically;
the receiver says the coach is
encouraging his players in the class-
room by offering tutors and talking
up good study habits.
Andersen said the emphasis on
academics is part of establishing a
new program.
“I think the key thing is just to
lay out your plan and let the young
men understand what your core
beliefs are and that what we say is
what we’re going to do,” Andersen
said. “The strides we’ve made
academically in two quarters and
the summer is substantial. Our GPA
has risen substantially on this foot-
ball team and that’s a great sign.”
Bolden is excited about the
changes he’s seen so far.

that we have to be on our game, on
WKH¿HOGDQGRII´KHVDLG
Last season, Bolden caught
72 passes for 798 yards and two
touchdowns. Against Washington,
he caught 10 passes for 145 yards,
including a 72-yard touchdown.
His quarterback was Sean

the all-time conference record for
career passing yards with 13,600
and a school record for touchdown
passes with 83. Mannion is now
with the St. Louis Rams.
Andersen will bring a spread
offense to the Beavers, who used
more of a pro-style offense under
Riley with Mannion. That likely
means that Bolden’s role this season
will change. And the Beavers will
likely be forced to run the ball more
anyway with an inexperienced
quarterback. None of the three who
are vying to start have taken a snap
in a Pac-12 game.
The front-runner appears to
be freshman Seth Collins, who

and threw for 175 yards and two
touchdowns in the spring game.
Redshirt freshmen Nick Mitchell
and Marcus McMaryion will also
compete to start at quarterback.
“They all bring something
different,” Bolden said. “Nick is
really good as far as his throwing
arm. He has a strong arm. Marcus
is good in space and is very good
at making a play continue, and
Seth, as you’ve probably seen, his
running ability is good. So they all
bring something different to the
table.”
Frankly, Bolden is just worried
about helping his team win. He
is one of six Pac-12 players who
have been named to the preseason
Biletnikoff Award watch list. The
honor goes to the nation’s top wide
receiver.
Bolden, who is from Rancho
Cucamonga, California, was also
among a group of players who
participated in a special forces
leadership development program at
Camp Williams in Utah.
While the culture in Corvallis
may be changing, Bolden said his
overall goal hasn’t.
“Being a playmaker for our
team,” he said. “Giving our team a
little jolt of energy and giving us a
little momentum, I feel like I bring
that to the table.”
