The 1972 Oregon State Beavers football team represented Oregon State University as a member of the Pacific-8 Conference (Pac-8) during the 1972 NCAA University Division football season. In their eighth season under head coach Dee Andros, the Beavers compiled an overall record of 2–9 record with a mark of 1–6 in conference play, placing last out of eight teams in the Pac-8, and were outscored 295 to 131.[1] Oregon State played four home games on campus at Parker Stadium in Corvallis and one at Civic Stadium in Portland.
