'It's a feud': Oregon State turns its attention to Oregon after Arizona State win

It’s a year-round thing, rivalries.

And Oregon State has apparently been thinking about its annual meeting with the Oregon Ducks since before the 2022 season began. The Beavers have lost 12 of the last 14 to the Ducks. The only wins during that stretch came in Corvallis.

These Beavers welcome the Ducks to Corvallis next Saturday for a chance to win nine regular-season games for just the second time since 2006. And you can bet they’re ready for it.

“Thinking about them the day before the season,” second-year linebacker Easton Mascarenas-Arnold said of the Ducks, according to The Oregonian’s Nick Daschel. “We’re ready for them. … It’s a feud. We’re ready.”

I asked Oregon State LB Easton Mascarenas-Arnold if they've started thinking about the Ducks.

"Thinking about them the day before the season. We're ready for them. … it's a feud. We're ready."

The Beavers blasted Arizona State 31-7 on Saturday for their fifth win in the last six games. Tailback Damien Martinez went for a fifth consecutive 100-yard game on the ground, quarterback Ben Gulbranson played another clean game, and the Beavers stone-walled the Sun Devils after halftime.

The last two meetings in this series have been decided by single digits. Oregon State is approaching with plenty of confidence.
