The city of Corvallis, as well as the nation, is still buzzing about OSU's victory over the former No. 1 Trojans—not just the win itself, but the way OSU went about its business by bullying USC in Reser Stadium.
As quickly as the fans rushed onto the field, fans, players, and coaches have since turned their attention to the next daunting task that lies ahead of them.
The Beavers head to Salt Lake City to take on the No. 15 Utah Utes in a Pac-10 vs. Mountain West showdown.
The Pac-10 has had a rough go against MWC and WAC opponents this year, but OSU hopes to remain perfect against the two conferences after beating Hawaii (WAC) at home two weeks ago.
