The Oregon State football team’s road game with Washington next season is expected to move to the last game of the season on Dec. 4, instead of being Oct. 16.
Washington updated its schedule with the change, but OSU sports information director Steve Fenk said it has been talked about but not finalized. Athletic director Bob De Carolis is out of town and couldn’t comment. NOTE: The Huskies were premature with the update, so they took it down off their Web site.
The game would be after the Nov. 27 Civil War in Reser Stadium. The reason for the move is to give both teams a midseason bye week.
“Those midseason byes are big,” Fenk said. “Washington hasn’t had one in years, and we like them. It’s all about getting healthy and nothing else.”
This is the only expected major change to the 2010 schedule. There’s a chance that the two non-conference games Sept. 18 against Louisville and Sept. 25 at Boise State could move to Thursday night game for a national television broadcast.
Here’s the projected 2010 football schedule
- Sept. 4 Eastern Washington
- Sept. 11 Open
- Sept. 18 Louisville
- Sept. 25 at Boise State
- Oct. 2 Arizona State
- Oct. 9 at Arizona
- Oct. 16 Open
- Oct. 23 USC
- Oct. 30 California
- Nov. 6 at UCLA
- Nov. 13 Washington State
- Nov. 20 at Stanford
- Nov. 27 Oregon
- Dec. 4 at Washington

The men’s basketball team will be on television at least 17 times this season. The schedule includes at least seven games on national television and an appearance on CBS when Beavers travel to face California on Jan. 23.
More games could be televised with the games against Washington State and Washington to close out the season. They could be broadcast as part of the Pacific-10 Conference wildcard package.
OSU will make its first television appearance Dec. 4 in a home game against Colorado at 8:00 p.m. in a game nationally televised by FSN. Click here for the full schedule

If this schedule change happens, could we see another Thursday night matchup against USC? That would be perfect. Two weeks to prepare for USC, three season in a row.

The potential is there for a Thursday USC game. 1. Those decisions are not made until the summer. 2. OSU-USC worked well for TV last year, so there's a ratings possibility. 3. OSU would jump at the money and exposure, and since there would be more than a week to prepare, coach Mike Riley would approve.
