The Oregon State Beavers return to the gridiron this week after a bye week and a 3-1 start. Head coach Trent Bray will try to keep that momentum going this Saturday at Reser Stadium and move one step closer to bowl eligibility in his first season at the helm.

Michigan State football is heading to a territory that new head coach Jonathan Smith is very familiar with this week. The Spartans will head out west to face top 10 Oregon on Friday night, serving as a sort of return trip for Smith.

(It’s) a big-time challenge, tough atmosphere,” Smith said Monday. “Definitely (an) exciting fan base that feels like they impact the game.”
