CORVALLIS, Ore. -- At Oregon State, it's not how you start, it's how you finish.
The Beavers are off to a 2-2 start for the sixth consecutive season.
The last three seasons they've started 2-and-3, only to bounce back with strong finishes that included bowl victories.
With that history, it's not surprising their eternally optimistic coach is taking the recent two-game losing streak in stride.
Coach Mike Riley says he's excited about the team, and the adversity provides a great opportunity for growth.
The Beavers head to Arizona State this Saturday to play at Sun Devil Stadium.
They haven't defeated the Sun Devils there since 1969.
