Oregon State is struggling, and to a degree that's on the down-side of the range of possibilities in what was going to be a down year at best. The Beavers, in a system and roster rebuild in the first year under a new coaching staff, entered the season with at best hopes of attaining bowl eligibility. After failing to win last night in their best hope of the Pac-12 season for a victory, against a Colorado team that wound up celebrating breaking a 14 game conference losing streak, Oregon State slipped to 2-5, including 0-4 in the conference. The Beavers would have to win 4 of their remaining 5 games, 3 of which are on the road, to become bowl eligible; winning even 1 of those 5 will amount to exceeding reasonable expectations.
