Oregon State plays four Power 4-5 schools, including three at Reser Stadium, as the school released its 2024 football schedule on Thursday.
In its attempt to rebuild the Pac-12 with 10 conference schools leaving after this school year, Oregon State unveiled a schedule consisting of seven games against Mountain West schools, four against Power 4-5s and one FCS opponent . OSU, Washington State and the MWC recently agreed to a football scheduling alliance for the 2024 season.
Oregon State will play seven home games in 2024, beginning with the season opener against Idaho State on August 31. The Beavers also have games scheduled at Reser Stadium against Oregon (September 14), Purdue (September 21) and Washington State (November 21). 23).
The rest of Oregon State's home team consists of three MWC teams: UNLV, Colorado State and San Jose State. Dates will be announced soon by OSU and the Mountain West.
Oregon State's 2024 schedule includes five road games, four against Mountain West schools and one against California. The Beavers' first away game will be on September 7th at San Diego State, followed three weeks later on September 28th at California. Dates for the remaining three games – Air Force, Nevada, Boise State – will be announced soon.
A change to Oregon State's previous schedule will occur on Sept. 7, as the Beavers' game against Boise State has been moved to a Saturday to be announced in October or November. This was done to accommodate Oregon and schedule the Ducks-Beavers on September 14th. Instead, Oregon State will play San Diego State on September 7th.
Some things to keep in mind:
- Oregon State returns to California for the second straight year. The Beavers won their 2023 game at Memorial Stadium in Berkeley 52-40.
- The Beavers have never played Air Force. It is OSU's second trip to Colorado in as many years, as the Beavers played Colorado in Boulder during the 2023 season.
- The Beavers return to Reno, the scene of heartbreak in 2018. OSU trailed 30-7 in the second quarter, only to rally and have a chance to win when Jordan Choukair scored on a 37 with four seconds left -yard game missed a field goal from 33 yards. 35 loss.
- Oregon State travels to Boise State for the first time since 2006. The Beavers and Broncos have played three times since then, twice in Corvallis and once in the 2013 Hawaii Bowl.
- UNLV has played the Beavers five times, but the Rebels haven't visited Corvallis since 2002, when OSU won 47-17.
- Oregon State and San Jose State/San Diego State play in consecutive years. The Beavers and Spartans played in San Jose to open the 2022 season, while San Diego State visited Corvallis in September.
- This is the fourth time Oregon State and Colorado State have played. The Beavers and Rams have not played in Corvallis since 1975.
