Trending
Since transferring to Oregon State, quarterback DJ Uiagalelei has had a lot of success and has gotten praise from his head coach Jonathan Smith.
“His body of work throughout, he just continued to get better and better. I do think there was a separation: We had two big scrimmages and he played the best in those two. I do think we’ve got other guys in that room that can compete and help us win games. But I think the separator in our minds was really those two scrimmages.”

San Diego State vs. Oregon State prediction
San Diego State is a massive 24.5-point underdog and is +1300 on the money line while Oregon State is -2800 on the money line, with the over/under set at 48.5.
So far this season, the Aztecs have struggled defensively which is a major concern against this Beavers offense which has looked good with Uiagalelei under center.
Oregon State should be able to have its way with the Aztecs' defense and be able to rest most of its key starters in the fourth quarter. San Diego State's offense leaves a lot to be desired, and the Aztecs will struggle to move the ball.
Prediction: Oregon State 41, San Diego State 7
