Monday morning trivia — Post Utah

It’s Oregon State week, which has been a good week for the Cougs in recent years. On paper, this week shapes up to be an especially good one for the WSU offense. After facing a solid Utah defense, Oregon State will pose a ... lesser challenge.

The Beavers come into the game allowing 45.2 points per game, which is 128th out of 130 teams. WSU already has one 50+ point game this season, and this week could be a chance for No. 2.

WSU is currently averaging 476 yards per game on offense, which would be the seventh-highest offensive yards per game average in school history.

Q1: What year did WSU have its highest offensive YPG average?

The Cougars have won four straight games against the Beavers and are going for five straight this weekend.

Q2: Who was WSU’s head coach the last time the Cougars won five straight against the Beavers?
