Washington State and Oregon State are set to compete for a newly established rivalry rock during their 112th football matchup in Corvallis on Saturday.

While not yet an official trophy, its creators hope the rivalry rock will grow into a recognized tradition over time. The debut of the trophy marks a new chapter in a long-standing rivalry that dates back to 1903.
