The Oregon State Beavers face the Montana State Bobcats at the Providence Park on Saturday. Both teams have had a flying start to the season, as they have won both of their opening fixtures.
The Beavers beat the Boise State Broncos 34-17 in their first game and proceeded to defeat the Fresno State Bulldogs 35-32 in their following game. The Bobcats beat the McNeese State Cowboys 40-17 in their opening game of the season and in their next game, they beat the Morehead State Eagles 63-13.
The Beavers performed well last season, as they finished third in the PAC-12 North division with an overall record of 7-6. A major positive for them was their imperious home record, as they went 7-0 on their own turf.
The Beavers have started this season in the same way they were playing last season. They look like a team that can replicate last season's results.
"You ready, Rose City? IT'S GAMEDAY!!" - Beavers
The Bobcats were also the second-best team in the Big Sky division last season with a 12-3 overall record. Their home record was also sublime as they went 8-0 on their own turf.
They have had a brilliant start to this season also as they demolished both of the sides they have faced so far. They made light work of the Cowboys and the Eagles and, like their opponents in the coming match, are looking to replicate their form from last season.
