Oregon State football dropped a close contest on the road to a rebuilding Nevada team over the weekend. While the Beavs definitely had bright spots, especially in Jam Griffin's absence, it's clear that they are still growing as a team. Your host Matt Bagley reviews that contest and gets you ready for the UNLV game in Reser this Saturday, while sharing some thoughts from Trent Bray's Monday presser and a few larger college football storylines this week. Go Beavs.
