The team's head coach was Mike Riley, in his seventh straight season and ninth overall. Home games were played on campus at Reser Stadium in Corvallis.

at Reser Stadium, Corvallis, Oregon

Oregon State faced Portland State for the third time in history, first since 2005, which the Beavers won 41–14. The Beavers also won the first meeting in 1983, 51–14.

Behind the legs of Jacquizz Rodgers, the Beavers thumped the in-state Vikings 34–7. Oregon State scored on their first play from scrimmage, an 87-yard touchdown from Sean Canfield to James Rodgers. Quizz ran for 103 yards and three touchdowns.

The fifth all-time meeting between Oregon State and UNLV will be an early road test for the Beavers. The Rebels own the series between the two, 3–1. The last time the two teams met was in 2002, in which Oregon State won 47–17.

Jacquizz Rodgers ran for 166 yards and a score and also led the team in receiving with 10 catches for 65 yards. UNLV led a 4th Quarter rally in which they went from being down 20–7 to up 21–20. Sean Canfield then executed a 2 minute drill (helped by a pass interference call on 3rd and 26) that set up the winning 33-yard field goal by Justin Kahut. The win was Mike Riley's first road win in the month of September.

In 2007, Oregon State traveled to Cincinnati and turned the ball over 7 times in the Bearcats 34–3 victory. They will be looking for revenge as the Bearcats come to Reser. This game will be a signature game early in the season for both teams.

Once upon a time, the Wildcats owned Oregon State. They won 19 of 22 from 1966 to 1998. But those days are gone. Since 1999, the Beavers have won 9 of 10, including last season's 19–17 effort in Tucson.
