There’s a big question hanging over Oregon State football and it’s not pandemic related. The question is this: “How will Oregon State replace Isaiah Hodgins & Blake Brandel?”
The Beavers had three players drafted by the NFL last season (Jake Luton, Hodgins & Brandel). Replacing those three guys will be no easy task. There’s little doubt amongst Beaver fans that Tristian Gebbia will be the starting quarterback for the Beavers this season. He pushed Jake Luton for the starting job and performed well against Oregon in a tough situation. The answers to who will replace Hodgins and Brandel are much more ambiguous though and will shape how successful the Beavers are in 2020.
