Oregon State acknowledges that Utah does a good job of evaluating the top Utah HS football talent and lets them do their evaluating for them. Then once the offer is extended, Oregon State gives them a look and decides whether or not to pursue them.
It's hardly rocket science and it's actually a pretty efficient way of going after recruits. Due to the added panache of their BCS membership over Utah, they feel they can cede the groundwork needed for recruiting (being the first to offer, building early relationships, etc.) and step in later and still get the commit over Utah.
