Beaver Banter: Oregon State’s defense has a fan in Isaac Hodgins, and tales from the Duck-Beaver series

This week’s edition of Beaver Banter podcast looks at Saturday’s 21-0 win at San Diego State, then dives into this week’s game against Oregon.

Beaver Banter is an Oregonian/OregonLive podcast where former OSU defensive lineman Isaac Hodgins and beat reporter Nick Daschel talk about all things Beaver football.

The podcast starts with how Isaac has turned from a player into a fan, some of the nuances he’s seeing on both sides of the ball, and what it’s like to recover a fumble with a half dozen large linemen grabbing for the ball and various body parts.

The discussion turns to Saturday’s game against the Ducks and many stories from Isaac’s days playing in the rivalry. We talk about the first time he saw a Duck-Beaver game, some of his battles, and the run-up to last year’s game in Eugene, Jonathan Smith’s last as OSU coach.
