We've said it a million times, but only because it's true: this season is vital for Oregon State football and the survival of the athletic department in its current state. Will Trent Bray's Beavers find the motivation to take a step forward? Or... will the amount of work involved in the rebuild lead to a significant slide in 2024? Your host Matt Bagley examines both scenarios, and what other determining factors are at play ahead of the start of OSU's fall camp this week. Go Beavs.
