Oregon State shows signs of being a good team, but are they experienced enough to finish off opponents?

Update: 2024-10-21

Description

Oregon State finds itself heading to a critical juncture of the 2024 football season after the Beavers lost to UNLV 33-25 Saturday night.

Among things discussed on this week’s Beaver Banter podcast is whether the Beavers know how to put away an opponent. For a third consecutive week, OSU built a double-digit lead, only to lose it.

The Oregonian/OregonLive’s Nick Daschel and former Oregon State defensive end Isaac Hodgins discuss how experienced teams usually don’t let up when they have the opponent down. They also talked about improvements on defense, and why the offense had issues during the second half.
