No. 16 Oregon State lost 31–7 to No. 6 Oregon on Friday night, and it wasn't the worst thing that happened to the program this weekend.
On Saturday, it was reported that coach Jonathan Smith would be leaving the Beavers to take the top job at Michigan State next year.
Smith, an Oregon State alum himself, took over the program in 2018, at a time when the Beavers had won just seven games combined over the previous three seasons under Gary Anderson.
