How to watch San Jose State vs. Oregon State: Live stream, TV

Saturday’s 35-21 win against San Jose State was a step forward for the Oregon State football team.

After Villamin’s 31-yard touchdown reception tied the game at 21 midway through the third quarter, the Beavers quickly capitalized on a special team’s mistake.

“It’s a process, and we knew we would run into some adversity along the way”, Andersen said.

San Jose State junior linebacker Christian Tago took a scary helmet-to-helmet hit in the fourth quarter against Air Force last week and left the game.

Then Potter was knocked out of the game when he was tackled for a loss – he was on the sideline with his foot in a boot – and his ability to run was taken from the equation. “You have no shot”.

Oregon State 21, San Jose State 21 – 7:34 Q2: After a 66-yard punt pinned the Beavers back at their own 12, Storm Barrs-Woods breaks open a 38-yard gain to start a 88-yard scoring drive. “The kids did a very nice job of taking control of the game when the opportunity presented itself”.

San Jose State, which had been going with two quarterbacks, played three against Oregon State.

“That was a big swing”, Andersen said. Linebacker Caleb Saulo’s 41-yard interception return for a touchdown extended the lead to 35-21 at 3:35 of the third quarter. “We were able to adjust and play loose”. The Spartans were only 1 of 13 in third-down conversions.

“I don’t think there are major fixes – don’t throw the baby out with the bath water”, third-year coach Ron Caragher said.

I was lucky enough to be able to get in contact with Andy Wooldridge, who covers the Oregon State Beavers on Building The Dam. San Jose State last defeated Oregon State on September 25, 1982, and it has not beaten a current Pac-12 school in the last 11 tries. He slid once, that was great to see. “He had a few throws he’d like back, but he was effective”.

A week ago, Barrs-Woods sat out the first half of a 35-7 loss at Michigan, telling coaches his sore knee was bothering him.

“To say that he’s 100 percent back today and ready to go?”

“It’s all about staying even keel”, he said. Good things are going to happen. You may be wondering why exactly I would highlight this matchup to kick-start our college football analysis for the week. OSU needs a win to take momentum into next Friday’s Pac-12 opener against Stanford.

“You can judge a team by (how it deals with) adversity”, the senior tailback said. It was good to get Storm back. “That feels good, to get a win going into conference play”. “But, man, after I made the first move, my legs started to gas out on me”.

The Spartans looked poised for an upset early. Less than five minutes into the game, the visitors led 7-0. They also run 65.5 plays per game and average 4 yards per play for an average of 264.5 yards in each contest. Barrs-Woods’ nifty catch-and-run for 16 yards on third-and-11 from the SJS 19 was the key play. This means a repeat performance from the first game against Weber state is in order for quarterback Seth Collins.

STATS THAT MATTER: After making 40 consecutive point-after kicks dating to last season, the Spartans have converted four of seven tries…. The Spartans went ahead 14-7 when a fumbled punt recovery turned into another 4-yard touchdown run by Ervin.

Collins tied the score four minutes later on a 4-yard keeper.

The miscue gave SJSU the ball at OSU’s 26 and set up a touchdown, giving the Spartans’ a 21-14 lead at 3:08 of the first half. In essence, there was no consensus opinion as to whether or not the lack of a regular work week for the Spartans would have a significant effect on the team’s chances of succeeding Saturday against the Beavers. This has led to a exhausted Oregon State defense that has held on with execution but can not hold up forever when being constantly on the field. Being “young” and inexperienced is only to go so far this season, and again we are fast approaching the point of needing to have these important parts of the Oregon State game worked out with more maturity and experience. “The defense played very well, especially in the second half”.

Establishing the run game will be key for both teams.

“We have a lot to learn, a lot of things to clean up”.

Costly turnover: OSU’s Rahmel Dockery muffed a punt early in the second quarter that was recovered by San Jose State at the Beavers’ 6-yard line. Joe Gray and Kenny Potter have shared time at the position for the Spartans. It’s the tone of his voice. “That’s our leader, that’s our captain”. “We just got to make sure we’re honed in”. Barrs-Woods stands sixth on the OSU career rushing list with 2,477 yards, 45 shy of Dave Schilling (2,522). San Jose State Spartans recorded 253.2 passing yards and 141.3 rushing yards while allowed 117.8 passing yards and 239.4 russhing yards with turnover differential of 1.0. He twice pinned the Spartans inside their 6-yard line.
