The Game —
- Oregon State plays its last road game of the 2018 season when the Beavers visit Washington in Seattle. Kickoff Saturday at Husky Stadium is slated for 1:30 p.m. PT.
- The game is slated to air on the Pac-12 Networks.
- Every game this season can be heard live via the TuneIn application, which is available online and on smartphones and tablets. To find the game, once the app has been downloaded, search "Beaver Sports Network."
- Oregon State and Washington will be meeting for the 103rd time, tying with Washington State for the second-most games against one opponent for the Beavers. UW holds the series lead at 64-34-4, including a 36-19-2 mark in Seattle. Washington has won the last six games, and OSU last won in Seattle in 2008. The Beavers won six straight from 2004-2009. That six-game streak is the longest for –
Oregon State in the series.
- The teams have met every season since 1990.
- Head coach Jonathan Smith served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Washington for the previous four seasons under Huskies' head coach Chris Petersen. Smith had also served under Petersen for two seasons at Boise State, coaching the team's quarterbacks.
- Smith helped Washington to a No. 4 ranking in 2016 and an appearance in the College Football Playoff. The following year, in 2017, the Huskies earned a share of the Pac-12 North title and played in the Fiesta Bowl.
- The game will mark the third consecutive year OSU will have played back-to-back road games in November.
Jermar Jefferson is quickly approaching Jacquizz Rodgers' 2008 record for rushing yards by a true freshman at OSU. Rodgers had 1,253; Jefferson is at 1,201.
- Isaiah Hodgins (146 yards vs. Colorado and 129 vs. USC) and Trevon Bradford (120 vs. Stanford) have given the Beavers a 100-yard receiver in three straight games. That last happened in 2014 with Victor Bolden Jr. (119 vs. Cal, 126 vs. Washington State and 145 vs. Washington) and Jordan Villamin (140 vs. Cal and 127 vs. Arizona State) did it in four straight.

Versus The Huskies —
- Head coach Jonathan Smith passed for 469 yards - including 388 in the second half, the most ever at OSU in one half - in 1998 versus the Huskies. It was, at the time, a school-record for most in a game, since surpassed by Sean Mannion (493 versus WSU in 2013 and 481 versus California in 2013) and Derek Anderson (485 vs. USC in 2003).
- Roddy Tompkins hauled in 210 of the 469 yards thrown by Smith in that game. That effort ranks in a tie for sixth-most in a game at OSU. One step higher is Sammie Stroughter, who, in 2006, caught seven passes for 223 yards against the Huskies. Both efforts came in Seattle.
- Current Vanderbilt Senior Defensive Assistant Osia Lewis made 21 tackles against the Huskies in 1985, which ranks as the third-best total by a Beaver. Four of his 21 tackles were TFLs.
- Alexis Serna, the current Director of Beyond Football for the Beavers, connected on a school-record six field goals versus the Huskies in 2005 in a wind storm. He accounted for all 18 of the team's points in the 18-10 victory in Seattle.
- Oregon State VP/AD Scott Barnes was a Senior Associate AD at Washington from 2005-08.
- Head Football Strength And Conditioning Coach Mike McDonald served as an Assistant Strength And Conditioning Coach at Washington from 2014-17.
- Washington Wide Receivers Coach Matt Lubick was Oregon State's Defensive Backs Coach from 1999-2000.

On Jermar —
- Jermar Jefferson has 1,201 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns this year.
- He is the eighth player in Oregon State history to record a 1,000-yard season and it's the 16th time an OSU player has hit 1,000 or more yards. The last to do so prior to Jefferson was Jacquizz Rodgers with 1,184 yards in 2010.
Jefferson is on pace for 1,441 yards this season.
- By hitting 1,000 yards, Jefferson is also the 35th player in school history to reach that mark for a career. He joins teammate Artavis Pierce, who reached 1,000 earlier this season.
- The Harbor City, Calif., native has two four-touchdown games this season, joining Ken Simonton as the only Oregon State running backs to accomplish the feat twice. Jefferson is the only player to do it twice in the same season; Simonton's came once in 1998 and once in 1999.
- He was recently named as a candidate for the Doak Walker Award and is one of just two freshmen nationally on the list.

How Similar —
- OSU and Washington have the exact same number of first downs with 222. Both teams are almost identical in how they got to 222 – OSU has 93 rushing, 113 passing and 16 penalty. UW has 86 by rush, 116 by pass and 20 by penalty.
- Both teams also are identical in red zone offense. UW is 80.9 (38-47) percent while OSU is 80.5 (33-41). Both rank near the bottom of the Pac-12 Conference.

A True Freshmen "Quizz" —
- Running back Jermar Jefferson has posted five 100-yard plus rushing games already this season, which ranks second among all-time OSU greats for true freshmen in a season.
- Jacquizz Rodgers had seven such games during the 2008 season. He holds the single-season record for true freshman at OSU with 1,253 yards on the ground that year.

Michalczik's 18 —
- Players have now rushed for 1,000 or more yards in a season a total of 18 times during Jim Michalczik's tenure as an offensive line coach at Montana State (1992-98), Oregon State (1999-2001, 2018), California (2002-08, 2011-12), the Oakland Raiders (2009-10) and Arizona (2013-17).
- A look at those players who have hit the 1,000-yard mark behind his offensive lines.

Back-To-Back —
- Sophomore wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins had back-to-back 100-yard receiving games after recording 129 against USC, a week after finishing with 146 at Colorado.
- He is the first Oregon State player with back-to-back 100-yard receiving games since Victor Bolden Jr., in 2016 versus Washington State (113 yards) and Stanford (109).
- Hodgins has three 100-yard games this season; he totaled a career-best 200 versus Nevada in week three of this season. Bolden also happened to be the last Beaver with that accomplishment, doing so in 2014.
- Hodgins has played in 20 career games and has at least one catch in every single contest.
- The Oakley, Calif., native heads into the matchup versus Washington with 79 career catches for 973 yards. He needs 27 receiving yards to become the 32nd player in school history with 1,000 or more for a career, and would join teammate Timmy Hernandez on that list.
- Hodgins tied the Oregon State single-game record with 14 receptions earlier this season versus Nevada. Hodgins finished with 200 yards against the Wolf Pack, the 10th-most ever by an Oregon State player.

Into The Backfield —
- Linebacker Hamilcar Rashed Jr. totaled 1.5 tackles for loss against Stanford, pushing his season total to 10.5. That leads the Beavers, with the closest two, Isaiah Tufaga and Andrzej Hughes-Murray, both sitting at 3.5.
- It's the most in two seasons at Oregon State, and the sophomore now has three games of more than one this year. He has recorded at least one in eight of the team's 10 games.
- Rashed Jr. is ranked eighth in the Pac-12 this year, just half a tackle out of sixth.

On Turnovers —
- Much has been made about OSU's lack of creating turnovers, but little has been said about OSU taking care of the ball.
- The Beavers have just 12 turnovers, which ranks fourth in the Pac-12. Over the last three games, OSU has turned the ball over twice, both via interceptions.
- The total is far different than last year's 28 lost turnovers.
