Instant Reaction: Stanford Bottles Up Oregon State in 38-14 Win

The Stanford Cardinal dominated Oregon State right from the start, shutting down Sean Mannion and the Beavers offense.

Turning Point: Stanford led 28-7 at the half, so things never took much of a turn in the second half. Oregon State's offense could not get anything going behind a banged up offensive line, leaving Stanford to do most of the scoring on the day.

Key Stat: Oregon State finished with just 205 yards on the day and went 3-15 on third down conversions.

Stanford MVP: Kevin Hogan - 18/28 for 277 yards and two touchdowns

While the performance wasn't great, Hogan did enough to help separate Stanford early on against an underrated Beavers defense.

Oregon State MVP: The offensive showing was not pretty for Oregon State, but the defense did record two interceptions and special teams blocked a punt. That's about as good as it got for the Beavers.

What's Next?

Stanford travels to Autzen Stadium to take on the Oregon Ducks, while Oregon State hosts Cal.
