Offense
The Beavers finished with the 40th ranked offense in F+ advanced statistics in 2022, behind an efficient run game and a veteran offensive line. It’s been widely observed that head coach Smith is trying to upgrade quarterback play in 2023, which has lagged behind the excellent rushing offense at Oregon State for most of his tenure. He made a midseason switch his first year in 2018 from Conor Blount to Jake Luton during that 2-10 season, then developed the latter into a 6th round draft pick with a pretty good 149.
