Why It Worked: Breaking down Oregon State's tricky punt return against UCLA

Welcome to the latest edition of Why It Worked, where Oregon State players and coaches go inside a play or element of the Beavers' most recent game and explain, well, why it worked.

This week, coach Gary Andersen and Rahmel Dockery break down the Beavers' sneaky punt return against UCLA, where the coverage unit and Victor Bolden sold the kick going one direction before Dockery fielded it on the opposite side and darted down the field for a 39-yard gain to ultimately set up a touchdown.

The origin of the play is interesting, as Andersen first saw Utah and buddy Kyle Whittingham run a similar return against Oregon last season.
