Oregon State looks to get back in the win column when the Beavers close out the month of September on Friday night against Utah at Reser Stadium.

The two Pac-12 rivals are slated to kick things off at 6 p.m. PT, with the game airing live on FS1. Oregon State brings a six-game winning streak at home into Friday night's contest. It's tied for the ninth-longest active streak nationally.
