CORVALLIS — No Oregon State receiver totaled more than 65 receiving yards Saturday against UCLA.
But to co-offensive coordinator Kevin McGiven, the encouraging stat was that four Beavers also recorded at least four catches in a game where they were publicly challenged to beat the Bruins' swarming man coverage. For a passing game that has been one of the worst in college football this season — and will be missing hospitalized receiver Seth Collins against Arizona — McGiven hopes the performance in Pasadena sparks a stretch-run surge for the Beavers' receivers.
"I know everybody didn't get a bunch of opportunities, but it was spread around a little bit more," McGiven said of the junior-college transfer.
