The Beavers come out of week 3 with a 3-0 record, ranked in the top 15 by both the AP and USA Today, and mostly healthy. There were challenges in the San Diego State game without a doubt and the game was closer than both Vegas and Beaver fans expected, but there are lessons to be learned from these games as well as the 55-7 thrashings.
