CORVALLIS — Oregon State will hit the road one more time this season when the Beavers head to Seattle to take on the No. 17 Washington Huskies on Saturday.
The game will be a return home of sorts for first-year OSU head coach Jonathan Smith, who was the Huskies’ offensive coordinator the last four seasons under head coach Chris Petersen.
The Beavers are coming off another blowout loss at Stanford on Saturday night, falling 48-17. Oregon State (2-8, 1-6 Pac-12) allowed 596 total yards of offense to the Cardinal and gave up four touchdowns to 6-foot-7 tight end Colby Parkinson. Jermar Jefferson had 109 rushing yards on 19 carries at Stanford, his sixth game of at least 100 yards.
He now has 1,201 for the season on 199 attempts, an average of just over 6 yards a carry. He has 12 touchdowns.
The Huskies (7-3, 5-2) are coming off a bye week after playing the first 10 games without a break. Washington is a game behind Washington State in the battle for the Pac-12 North title and a trip to the Pac-12 title game.
