Oregon State is coming off a frustrating 30-21 loss to Purdue Saturday night. Obviously the result of a game doesn’t boil down to one play. Especially considering: the Beavers generated just 78 yards on the ground (a paltry 3.1 yards per carry). Sam Noyer looked uncomfortable and out of sync. Jack Plummer completed 71% of his passes etc etc. But if you had to pin-point the “play of the game”. The one snap that most impacted the outcome it had to be the 4th-and-1 at the Beavers 37 with 8:22 to go in the fourth quarter.
Let’s break it down frame by frame.
