Isaac Hodgins admits he’s not sure he would have had Trent Brays’ go-for-it guts late in Oregon State’s 41-38 win over Washington State.
But the Beavers’ former defensive end liked the result, as well as the subtle differences on defense that made a difference. The Oregonian/OregonLive’s Nick Daschel and Hodgins discussed everything that went into an OSU win that ended a five-game losing streak.
Also on the podcast: a 10 a.m. kickoff in Boise, getting ready for an opponent on a short week, and Thanksgiving is a perfect day for a starving lineman.

Are Oregon State bowl hopes dashed, or is there hope?
In this week’s Beaver Banter podcast, The Oregonian/OregonLive’s Nick Daschel and former Oregon State defensive end Isaac Hodgins discuss the possibilities. Hodgins makes a case that OSU coaches will play video clips from Saturday’s 24-13 loss to San Jose State and show players that they’re not that far away from making big plays.
The podcast examines the good and bad of Saturday’s performance. One area that Hodgins explains is what it takes for a quarterback and receiver to get on the same page (he has personal experience).
They also get into a little basketball talk, and the relationship between the football and basketball programs.
