Well that was surprisingly exciting! Despite a disastrous start that saw the Beavers go down 14-0 after each team had just one possession, Oregon State fought back and twice took the lead! This might shock you, but prior to this game the Beavers had not held the lead against an FBS opponent this season. Jermar Jefferson had another fantastic performance (139 yards, 4 TDs). He’s going to beat himself up for that fumble, but he is an amazing running back. Also, it was great to have Artavis Pierce back in action.
The defense did some nice things and forced a few punts throughout the game, but overall they were a disappointment.
