Against Washington State
• Oregon State and Washington State have played every year dating back to 2003.
• Oregon State snapped an eight-game losing streak to the Cougars with a 24-10 victory in 2022 in Corvallis. Prior to the eight-game losing streak, however, the Beavers had won three straight, six-of-seven and eight-of-10 from 2004 to 2013.
• Deshaun Fenwick had 101 rush yards and three touchdowns in last season's 38-35 loss. The Cougars took a 35-14 lead into the fourth quarter but OSU scored 21 in the final 15.
• Head Coach Trent Bray attended Pullman High School. His father, Craig, coached in two different stints at Washington State, in 1987, and then again from 1994-99. Bray's mother, Kaprice, was also the Head Coach for volleyball at Washington State in 1985.
• Sean Mannion's 493 passing yards in the 2013 game marks the Oregon State single-game record. He followed that up with 419 yards a year later.
• Jake Luton had one of 17 400-yard efforts in OSU history when he passed for 408 in 2019.

On This Date
• Oregon State has played on Nov. 23 15 times leading up to Saturday's matchup.
• The Beavers are 6-8-1 on the date, most recently dropping a 54-53 decision to Washington State in 2019 in Pullman.

Notes From The Game Vs. Air Force
• Jaheim Patterson made his first career start. He became the 22nd different Beaver to make their first career start this season.
• Josh Green posted a 68-yard punt in the first half, the seventh-longest in Oregon State history.
• Green averaged 56.8 yards per punt after posting three of his four for more than 50 yards.
Dexter Foster set a season high with 13 tackles. It's the season-high by any Beaver this season.
• Semisi Saluni set a career-high with nine tackles.
• The Beavers held the ball for 3:29 in the first quarter. That's the lowest for any quarter this season.
• Oregon State trailed in overall time of possession for just the second time this season. The Beavers held the ball for just 18:04, the team's lowest TOP since at least 1996. It's the first time under 20 minutes since posting 18:38 TOP against Washington in 2015.
• The Beavers were shut out for the first time since 2015 versus UCLA.
• Air Force did not commit a penalty, the first time an OSU opponent has not committed at least one since 1996. Only eight teams have gone without a penalty this season, with Air Force doing so twice.
• The Beavers committed just three. It's the 37th time since 1996 that OSU has committed three or less.

Senior Day
• Oregon State fans are suggested to arrive early to Reser Stadium Saturday to help honor the team's senior class, which tallies 19.
• The following Beavers are set to be honored:
• Offense: Gerad Christian-Lichtenhan, Flavio Gonzalez, Joshua Gray, Jam Griffin, Ben Gulbranson, Dyontae Navarrete, Jake Sanders, Grant Starck, Jermaine Terry II and Joel Valadez.
• Defense: Tyrice Ivy Jr., Alton Julian, Jaden Robinson, Semisi Saluni, Nikko Taylor and Jaydin Young.
• Special teams: Josh Green, Everett Hayes and Peyton Hogan.

Hankerson Nearing 1k
• Anthony Hankerson posted his fourth 100-yard effort of the season, totaling 121 on 30 carries against San Jose State.
• Hankerson, in his first season with the Beavers, is looking for the 19th 1,000-yard rushing season in Oregon State. He is close, at 889 on the season.
• That tally ranks Hankerson 32nd nationally while his yardage per game, at 88.9, ranks 33rd.
• He came into the season with 593 yards over 20 games in two seasons at Colorado.

Walker Notable
• Trent Walker tallied 11 receptions for 151 yards against the Spartans, both career highs.
The 11 catches tied Walker for the 12th-most ever by a Beaver, while his 151 yards place him 40th.
• The 11 receptions also marked the most by a Beaver since Isaiah Hodgins had 11 versus Colorado in 2018.
• Walker, meanwhile, is now at 65 receptions on the year, becoming the first Beaver since Hodgins to surpass 60 since Hodgins had 86 in 2019.
• Walker is also within range of 1,000 yards receiving on the year, entering Saturday's matchup with 713. There have been just 13 1,000-yard receiving seasons in OSU history. The last? Hodgins with 1,171 in 2019.
• Walker is also closing in on the 15th 70-catch season in OSU history.
