Hard as it is reconcile with what happened yesterday in Reser Stadium, Oregon State led the Pac-12 in passing in 2013.
In the three years since, the Beavers have plummeted to the bottom of the conference passing statistics. OSU has one of the worst pass offenses in the country.
I've seen this act before.
I covered the Beavers in 1993 and 1994, when Jerry Pettibone's wishbone offense was a preparation nightmare for the rest of what was then the Pac-10.
I remember walking off the field at Husky Stadium and up the tunnel to the locker rooms amid the Washington players after a game in the Pettibone era.
