    Video lessons might be all it takes for Oregon State to get back on track

    Are Oregon State bowl hopes dashed, or is there hope? In this week’s Beaver Banter podcast, The Oregonian/OregonLive’s Nick Daschel and former Oregon State defensive end Isaac Hodgins discuss the possibilities. Hodgins makes a case that OSU coaches will play video clips from Saturday’s 24-13 loss to San Jose State and show players that they’re not that far away from making big plays. The podcast examines the good and bad of Saturday’s performance. One area that Hodgins explains is what it takes for a quarterback and receiver to get on the same page (he has personal experience). They also get into a little basketball talk, and the relationship between the football and basketball programs. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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

    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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Oregon State’s offense has arrived, but is it enough to offset the defensive issues?

    Where does Oregon State go from here after its run defense failed in a 42-37 loss at Nevada? It is a significant portion of the discussion on this week’s Beaver Banter podcast, featuring former OSU defensive end Isaac Hodgins and The Oregonian/OregonLive’s Nick Daschel. On the podcast, we talk at length the issues on defense and whether they’re fixable. On the flip side, the Beavers’ offense was as good as its been all season, save for the interceptions. We answer a few listener questions toward the end, including one about whether OSU has enough talent on defense. You’ll be surprised at Isaac’s answer. Learn more about your ad choices.
