No. 15 Oregon State’s preparation for California is as much about mindset as it is game plan

Oregon State is coming off back-to-back games against top 20 opponents heading into Saturday’s game at unranked California

Oregon State center Jake Levengood, on the need for young players to focus this week: “If we don’t get a good scout look, we’re not going to get a good look on the game field. We gotta come together as older guys and tell them, hey, to be able to win these games, we need you guys to focus on the details. We can’t get it done by ourselves.” (Howard Lao)Howard Lao for The Oregonian/OregonLive

No. 15 Oregon State has played back-to-back top 20 teams the past two weeks. For its next home game on Oct. 14, the Beavers could face another ranked team in UCLA.

Sandwiched in this mix is Saturday’s opponent, unranked and unloved California. The Bears (3-2, 1-1 Pac-12) are a 10-point underdog to Oregon State for the 7 p.m. game in Berkeley, California.
