Weather — 64 degrees; Wind 13 mph W, Partly Sunny

In what many termed as the biggest non-confer-ence home game in Oregon State football history, the Beavers’ defense put on a show that will be re-membered for a very long time. OSU stymied No. 13 Wisconsin and Heisman Trophy-candidate Montee Ball for much of the afternoon as the Beavers earned a 10-7 victory.

Wisconsin, in danger of being shut out for the fi rst time since 1997, pieced together a 64-yard drive to get on the board with 1:31 to play. The drive was aided by a pass interference call on the Beavers, but the Badgers were in no position to turn down the free yardage. Wisconsin quarterback Danny O’Brien capped the drive with an 11-yard touchdown pass to bring Wisconsin back to within one score.

With no timeouts remaining, Wisconsin appeared to recover the onside kick. After a video review, however, it was determined that a Badger touched the ball prior to it traveling the required 10 yards.

OSU killed the clock and Wisconsin’s 33-game regular-season non-con-ference winning streak. The Beavers did it by controlling the ball and stu! ng Ball and the Bad-gers. OSU held the ball for 35:35 while outgaining Wiscon-sin, 354-207. Ball fi nished with just 65 yards rushing as the Beavers

did not allow him to break their outside containment. Ball also did not score a touchdown for the fi rst time in 22 games.

The Beavers’ touchdown came on their fi rst drive of the second half. After converting just 2-of-9 third downs in the fi rst half, Oregon State had two crucial third down completions to sustain the drive. Sean Mannion connected with Markus Wheaton for 18 yards on a 3rd-and-7 from the OSU 17 yard line. After being fl agged on a false start to force a 3rd-and-12, Mannion hit Brandin Cooks in the back of the end zone for a 20-yard touchdown strike. Cooks had six catches for 80 yards, while Wheaton led the way with eight catches for 87 yards.

Sean Mannion passed for a career-high 379 yards and two touchdowns, Oregon State put the clamps on No. 19 UCLA’s o! ense, and the Beavers opened their Pac-12 Conference season by topping the Bruins 27-20 .

The victory was the 74th at OSU for coach Mike Riley, matching the school record set by Lon Stiner, the Beavers’ coach from 1933-48. Riley is in his 12th year with OSU.

Oregon State’s Markus Wheaton had nine recep-tions for 150 yards. Brandin Cooks had six catches for 175 yards, and Storm Woods rushed for 96 yards on 21 carries.

Trailing 17-10, the Bruins blew two scoring chances in the third quarter. First, they failed to convert a fourth-and-2 at the Oregon State 35-yard line after Anthony Barr forced a fumble by Mannion at the Bea-vers 43 and Tevin McDonald recovered.

The Bruins got another chance when Stan McKay intercepted Man-nion’s pass at the Beavers 48 on the next play, but they were forced to punt.

The Beavers then moved 88 yards on 13 plays to take a 24-10 lead, scoring on a 2-yard run by Storm Woods one play after a pass interference penalty against Sheldon Price on third-and-goal.

UCLA responded by getting a 1-yard sneak from Brett Hundley that capped a 75-yard drive and made it 24-17 with 14:01 to play. OSU got its 10-point lead back on Trevor Romaine’s 17-yard fi eld goal with 9:33 left.

The Bruins had a chance to get within seven points again, but Ka’i Fairbairn was wide right on a 42-yard fi eld goal with 7:37 remaining. Fairbairn kicked a 35-yarder with 1:47 left, but Oregon State recovered UCLA’s onside kick and ran out all but the fi nal fi ve seconds.

Weather — 86 degrees; Wind 9 mph W, Clear w/ full moon

Sean Mannion passed for 433 yards and three touchdowns, including the game-winner to Connor Hamlett from nine yards out with 1:17 remaining in the fourth quarter, to help send the 18th-ranked Oregon State football team to a 38-35 win over Arizona. The win sent head coach Mike Riley to his 75th all-time win at OSU, surpassing Lon Stiner for the most in school history.

The sophomore completed 29-of-45 attempts and found Markus Wheaton for touchdown strikes of 2 and 20 yards, respectively, while the senior re-ceiver caught 10 passes overall for 166 yards. For the second consecutive week, he was joined by Brandin Cooks at the 100-yard receiving plateau - Cooks had 149 yards on nine catches.

The Beavers’ ground game got going in a big way in the win, with Storm Woods on the strength of 29 carries for 161 yards. The redshirt freshman put the Beavers up 24-21 in the third quarter with a 1-yard

touchdown rush.The Beavers totaled

613 yards of total of-fense, which, in itself is notable as it stands as the sixth-best single-game output in OSU his-tory, and the most since the team gained 654 yards against Arizona in 2005.

Mannion’s fi nal touch-down strike of the game - which ended as Oregon State’s sixth straight win over the Wildcats in

Tucson - left 1:17 on the clock, forcing the team’s defense to make a stand.That’s just what the “D” did.Rashaad Reynolds picked o! Arizona quarterback Matt Scott on 1st-and-10

from the Wildcats’ 44. It capped an impressive defensive night for Reynolds, whose fi ve pass breakups in the fi rst half tied Dennis Weathersby’s school record.

The win sent the Beavers to a 3-0 record; it’s the fi rst time since 2000 Oregon State ended the month of September with a perfect mark.

Reser StadiumCorvallis, Ore. • Oct. 68, 2012

Weather — 77 degrees; Wind 7 mph N, Sunny

Senior Jordan Poyer became the fi rst Oregon State player to intercept three passes in a game in almost nine years as the Beavers stymied Wash-ington State on their way to a 19-6 victory at Reser Stadium in front of a school-record crowd of 46,579.

The win moves Oregon State to 4-0 (3-0 Pac-12) on the year, the fi rst time it has started a season with four-straight wins since 2002 and only the fi fth time in the last 73 years.

Oregon State’s defense fed o! of that home crowd in keeping the Cougars out of the end zone, forcing fi ve turnovers and holding them to just 20 yards rushing on the day. Fifteen of those 20 yards came on a Carl Winston carry late in the fourth quarter. The last time OSU kept a team from scoring a touchdown in a game was against Pittsburgh in the 2008 Sun Bowl.

The teams traded fi eld goals in the second, with Trevor Romaine’s 24-yarder with 2:51 remain-

ing pushing the Beavers into a 6-3 halftime advantage after the teams traded turnovers on three consecu-tive possessions within a two-minute span. Senior Rudolf Fifi ta recovered his fi rst career fumble at the WSU 34-yard line, but Sean Man-nion was picked o! three plays later as lineman Ioane

Gauta rumbled 38 yards on the return into OSU territory. But just two plays later, senior safety Anthony Watkins squashed the threat with an intercep-tion of his own.

Those two turnovers, combined with Poyer’s three picks, combined to give the Beavers fi ve on the day. He wasn’t the only star on defense, though. Sophomore defensive end Scott Crichton tallied three sacks, becoming the fi rst Beaver to pull o! that feat since Stephen Paea against UCLA on Oct. 31, 2009.

Weather — 54 degrees; Wind: variable, Cloudy

Never mind if Cody Vaz hadn’t taken a snap since 2010, or started a game since he was in high school.

The Oregon State backup-turned-starter made it look easy in the Beavers’ 42-24 win over BYU, pass-ing for three touchdowns and 332 yards against a defense rated fi fth in the nation.

It was the block he made on a BYU defensive lineman that paved the way for Markus Wheaton to score on a 12-yard fourth-quarter reverse that bumped No. 10 Oregon State’s lead to 11 points with 5:30 remaining.

Vaz came out fi ring, completing his fi rst fi ve passes for 75 yards, capped by a 11-yard TD pass to Wheaton. He tossed a 24-yard scoring strike to Wheaton with 3:01 left in the quarter for a 14-7 Oregon State lead.

Brandin Cooks caught eight passes for 173 yards for the Beavers.

The Beavers also got some help on the ground, gaining 118 yards -double what BYU had been allowing. Storm Woods and Malcolm Agnew led the way, with Woods scoring on a 16-yard third-quarter run for a 21-14 lead.

Vaz’s third TD pass was pure luck as BYU linebacker Kyle Van Noy tipped it at the line. Tight end Colby Prince grabbed it in the end

zone for a touchdown while surrounded by three defenders.It gave Oregon State a 28-21 lead with 14:48 remaining.A 35-yard fi eld goal by Justin Sorensen pulled BYU within 28-24 with 8:55

left.Nelson, who had missed the previous two games with what he said were

“back fractures,” countered Oregon State’s fi rst score with a 10-play, 75-yard drive of his own. He showed he was healthy from the start, bootlegging left on BYU’s fi rst play from scrimmage and rumbling 16 yards.

The score was tied at 21 after Jamaal Williams’ 2-yard run late in the third quarter.

Redshirt freshman running back Storm Woods rushed for a career-high three touchdowns and the Oregon State defense forced four crucial turnovers on the way to a 21-7 victory over Utah in OSU’s Homecoming game at Reser Stadium.

The previous week against BYU, quarterback Cody Vaz came out on fi re as the Beavers’ o! ense set the tone for the game early on. Against Utah, the defense took the leading role in staking the Beavers to a 14-0 lead.

Utah quarterback Travis Wilson overthrew DeVon-te Christopher across the middle, and the pass was intercepted by Michael Doctor at the Utah 35-yard line and returned 19 yards with 2:02 left in the fi rst quarter. It was Doctor’s third career interception. Vaz hit tight end Connor Hamlett for 12 yards to the Utah 4 and Woods went o! right tackle two plays later from a yard out to open the scoring.

On Utah’s ensuing possession, Wilson was hit by Rudolf Fifi ta as he rolled left, jarring the ball loose. Dylan Wynn jumped on the fumble at the Utah 10-yard line, and two plays later, Woods plunged in from two yards out to make it 14-0 with 14:27 remaining in the half. Though the Beavers were outgained 175-98 in the fi rst half, they

benefi ted from the takeaways as their two scoring drives combined to cover just 26 yards.

Utah responded two drives later with a 10-play, 88-yard drive capped by an 18-yard touchdown pass from Wilson to Jake Murphy to make it 14-7 with 6:00 to play in the second quarter. The score snapped the Beavers’ streak of not allowing a touchdown at home at 85 minutes and 31 seconds.

Utah did have an opportunity to jump ahead fi rst. Wilson hit a 35-yard pass to Luke Matthews on the Utes’ fi rst play from scrimmage, but Coleman Peter-son missed a 43-yard fi eld goal after the drive stalled in OSU territory.

Brandin Cooks caught nine passes, including a 54-yard touchdown scamper, in Oregon State’s 20-17 loss at Washington. It was the fi rst loss of the season for the seventh-ranked Beavers.

Sophomore quarterback Sean Mannion, return-ing from a two-game absence due to knee surgery, threw for 221 yards but was intercepted four times.

Mannion led the Beavers back from a 10-point halftime defi cit, the most OSU has trailed all season, to tie the score during a dominant third quarter comeback. The Beavers outgained the Huskies 195-69 behind Cooks’ 54-yard jaunt and a 29-yard Trevor Romaine fi eld goal.

Despite losing the turnover battle for only the second time this season, the Beavers held close throughout the game.

Washington’s Marcus Peters intercepted Man-nion’s fi nal pass of the night setting up the Huskies at the OSU 30 yard line. Two plays later Bishop San-

key plunged into the end zone to put the Huskies up 17-10 with 8:19 left in the game.

Oregon State responded im-mediately with junior Cody Vaz at the helm. Vaz completed fi ve out of six passes during the drive including a 29-yard strike to Connor Hamlett for the tying touch-

down with 4:58 remaining.However, the Huskies drove down the fi eld eating up valuable time along the

way. Travis Coons knocked a fi eld goal through from 30 yards with 1:20 left.OSU’s ensuing drive stalled out near midfi eld to e! ectively end the game.Oregon State star receiver Markus Wheaton was knocked out of the game

early in the second quarter and fi nished the game with two catches for 25 yards.

Storm Woods rushed for 90 yards and Castro Masaniai registered 1.5 sacks for Oregon State.

The No. 13 Oregon State football team weath-ered a fast start by Arizona State and used a peak performance from its o� ense to move to 7-1 on the season with a defeat of the Sun Devils, 36-26 at Reser Stadium.

The Sun Devils scored 16 points in the fi rst quarter and opened the scoring just 21 seconds into action. Junior Onyeali recovered Cody Vaz’s fumble at the 1-yard line and rolled into the end zone to make it 7-0. After a Trevor Romaine 41-yard fi eld goal on the Beavers ensuing possession that was set up by a 35-yard run by Markus Wheaton, ASU opened an 11-point lead on Cameron Marshall’s 1-yard plunge. It would be the last Devil trip to the end zone until late in the fourth.

The Beavers began their comeback with Whea-ton’s 50-yard touchdown reception on a crossing route as he raced untouched to the goalline. Arizona State answered by blocking a punt out of the back of

the end zone for a safety and adding a 31-yard fi eld goal to make it 19-10 with 12:56 to play in the second quarter.

OSU rattled o� the next 26 points. Terron Ward went 53 yards for a touchdown on the Beavers’ next pos-session.

Wheaton caught his second touch-down pass of the

game on OSU’s fi rst possession of the second half. This one came from 13 yards out to cap a 52-yard drive that took just fi ve plays. Wheaton fi nished with four catches and 108 yards and the two scores. He also rushed for 57 yards on three carries.

Romaine pushed the lead to two scores with his third fi eld goal of the night, this one coming from 33 yards away. Vaz dropped the hammer on the Devils with his third touchdown pass of the night. He found Brandin Cooks all alone down the left side for an easy 49-yard pitch and catch behind a broken Arizona State defense.

STANFORD 27OREGON STATE 23

Stanford StadiumStanford, Calif. • Nov. 10, 2012

Weather — 56 degrees; Wind 13 mph W, Partly Sunny

No. 13 Oregon State forced four turnovers and Storm Woods rushed for 94 yards against the NCAA’s top-ranked run defense, but the Beavers lost at No. 16 Stanford, 27-23.

After falling behind 14-0, Oregon State scored on fi ve of its next six possessions to take a 23-14 lead late in the third quarter. The Beavers started on that comeback trail with a solid ground attack that led to Terron Ward’s 7-yard touchdown run over right guard. The Beavers gained 41 yards on the ground on that drive against a Cardinal rush defense that came in allowing just 55.6 yards per game. It was also the fi rst rushing touchdown allowed by Stanford since Oct. 6 against Arizona, a span of 17 quarters. Woods rushed for 34 yards on the drive.

The Beavers moved in front on the opening drive of the second half. Facing a third-and-16 from the Stanford 22, Cody Vaz found Markus Wheaton wide open over the middle and he raced in to make it 17-14. Trevor Romaine added two more fi eld goals

in the third quarter to push the lead to 23-14. Ryan Mur-phy intercepted Kevin Hogan at the Stanford 30 to set up a 42-yarder, and Romaine hit a 44-yard fi eld goal on the next Beavers’ possession.

Stanford run-ning back Stepfan Taylor brought the Cardinal back to within one score

with a 40-yard touchdown reception on the fi nal play of the third quarter to make it 23-21.

With the momentum appearing to shift towards Stanford after the Beavers were forced to punt, Rashaad Reynolds intercepted Hogan on a deep pass down the left side to stop the Cardinal. Stanford forced a turnover of its own, however, as Vaz fumbled on a scramble. That ensuing drive culminated in a 14-yard touchdown strike from Hogan to Zach Ertz with 5:07 remaining.

Weather — 43 degrees; Wind 13 mph SE, Heavy Rain

Sean Mannion passed for four touchdowns and Oregon State nearly set a school record for most points in a league game as the No. 15 Beavers rolled past the Golden Bears, 62-14.

Mannion completed 24-of-34 passes for 325 yards in his fi rst start since October 27 against Washington. In the process, the sophomore became the sixth Oregon State quarterback to surpass 5,000 yards for a career; he has 5,232 in less than two full seasons.

The 62 points scored is the second-most in school history against a league opponent; the record is 66 against Washington State in 2008. The Beavers have hit the 60-point mark 18 times since the pro-gram began playing football in 1893.

The win was Oregon State’s 11th in the Beavers’ last 14 tries against the Golden Bears and the 62 points surpassed the previous best of 42 in a 48-42 overtime loss in Berkeley in 1996.

Defensively, the Beavers dominated California, posting four turnovers in addition to the 322 yards

of total o� ense allowed. California quarterback Allan Bridgford passed for just 132 yards and was intercept-ed one time.

Mannion found seven di� er-ent receivers on the night, led by Markus Wheaton, who fi nished with 99 yards on seven catches. He’s now just 14 yards shy of 1,000 on the year

and the senior has 205 receptions in his career - fourth in school history, eight shy of tying James Newson (2000-03) for third.

Connor Hamlett picked up 80 yards and a touchdown on six receptions, setting career highs in both categories. His third touchdown of the season put the Beavers up 28-7 in the second quarter.

Terron Ward led the Beavers on the ground, fi nishing with 128 yards on 14 carries - a 9.1 average - while scoring two touchdowns. The Beavers fi nished the game with 200 yards rushing.

The No. 16 Oregon State Beavers and the No. 5 Oregon Ducks renewed their rivalry the 116th Civil War, presented by Pacifi cSource Health Plans, the NW Ford Dealers, McDonald’s and Wells Fargo. In front of a school-record crowd of 47,249, the Ducks prevailed, 48-24, in only the fourth Civil War to fea-ture both teams in the national rankings.

Oregon State quarterback Sean Mannion engi-neered three scoring drives with key plays against the fourth-best pass defense in the Pac-12. He led the Beavers to a 7-6 lead late in the fi rst quarter. After a completion to Markus Wheaton for 15 yards, Mannion hit Brandin Cooks down the right seam for 40 yards to the Oregon 15. Two plays later, Storm Woods went o! right tackle for a 7-yard score to cap the four-play, 55-yard drive to give the Beavers a one-point lead.

Kenjon Barner made it 20-7 with a 1-yard touch-down run, but the Beavers cut into the defi cit with a

36-yard fi eld goal on the fi nal play of the fi rst half. After a penalty forced the Beavers into a fourth-and-eight play, Mannion found Connor Hamlett for 14 yards to put the Beavers into fi eld goal range. Mannion then hit Woods and Wheaton to set up Trevor Romaine’s successful try as the seconds ticked

away.Oregon State built on that momentum with the fi rst possession of the

second half. Wheaton got behind the Oregon secondary for a 37-yard gain to the 2-yard line to set up Woods’ second scoring run. With the PAT, the Beavers were within three, 20-17, with 10:41 to play in the third quarter. Wheaton fi n-ished with seven grabs for 98 yards to reach the 1,000-yard mark in his senior season. In joining Cooks with more than 1,000 yards, they become the fi rst Oregon State duo to do so since James Newson and Mike Hass in 2003.

OREGON STATE 77NICHOLLS STATE 3

Reser StadiumCorvallis, Ore. • Dec. 1, 2012

Weather — 50 degrees; Wind 15 mph SE, Partly Sunny

Senior wide receiver Markus Wheaton became the school’s all-time receptions leader in the second quarter of No. 15 Oregon State’s 77-3 victory over Nicholls State at Reser Stadium. The 77 points are the most ever in Oregon State’s football history.

Wheaton’s record-breaking catch, the 223rd of his career, came late in the second quarter on his 11threception of the afternoon. After tossing the record-setting ball to the Beavers’ sideline, Wheaton lined up wide right and was on the receiving end of a 2-yard pass from Cody Vaz to make it 35-0 OSU. That was his fi nal catch of the day as he fi nished with 12 receptions for 123 yards and a touchdown.

The Beavers built their lead early with a solid rush-ing attack and an e! cient short passing game with Sean Mannion pulling the strings. Storm Woods started for the Beavers and rushed for 54 yards on 12 carries and put the Beavers ahead early with an 8-yard touchdown run just over fi ve minutes into ac-tion. Mannion went 6-for-6 on the drive for 52 yards. Woods scored again on a 1-yard touchdown run on a fourth-and-goal play on Oregon State’s second possession to make it 14-0 with 55 seconds to play in the fi rst quarter.

Wheaton took a hando" and went around the right side to make it 21-0 with a 10-yard end-around run with 11:09 remain-ing in the second. That drive ended Mannion’s fi rst half action with him completing 15-of-16 passes for 174 yards.

Vaz’s fi rst drive went 62 yards on

six plays, culminating in Terron Ward’s 15-yard touchdown carry to stake the Beavers to a 28-0 lead midway through the second quarter. Ward fi nished with 64 yards.

Vaz found Wheaton on the next drive for the 2-yard score to take the Bea-vers into the half with a 35-0 lead. Vaz and Mannion combined to go 23-for-25 for 255 yards in the fi rst half.

Weather — Indoors

(AP) - David Ash threw two fourth-quarter touch-down passes, the last a 36-yard strike to Marquise Goodwin with 2:24 left, to give Texas a 31-27 come-back victory over No. 15 Oregon State in the Alamo Bowl. The Longhorns (9-4) never led before Goodwin scored his second touchdown on a deep post pat-tern, just a down after Texas converted a fourth-and-1 play to keep its chances alive. Storm Woods ran for 118 yards and scored two touchdowns for Oregon State (9-4). Ash was 21 of 33 for 241 yards. Ash sputtered until the fourth quarter, when he went 9 for 11 for 146 yards. Texas had no choice but to stick with the only backups two redshirt freshmen who haven’t taken a snap all season. Oregon State quarterback Cody Vaz was 15 of 28 for 194 yards. The Beavers had negative 4 yards in the fourth quarter as they were mu! ed by the

Longhorns defense that was led by Alex Okafor, who fi nished with 4 1/2 sacks. The Valero Alamo Bowl marked the Beavers’ 16th bowl game and OSU is 10-6 all-time in them - 5-2 under head coach Mike Riley. The dean of Pac-12 Confer-ence coaches engineered one of

the top turnarounds in the nation in 2012, with the Beavers improving to a 9-4 mark after fi nishing the 2011 campaign at 3-9. The six-win improvement tied Ohio State and Middle Tennessee for the best win improvements from last season. Markus Wheaton ended his Oregon State career at the Alamo Bowl, catching three passes for 37 yards - he left as the program’s all-time recep-tions leader with 227 and is sixth with 1,244 yards. Another senior playing in his fi nal game for the Beavers, Jordan Poyer, was tied for third on the team with fi ve tackles, including a sack. Linebacker Michael Doctor was the team leader with 11 tackles. Oregon State found itself up 20-10 at halftime and 27-17 entering the fourth quarter but two late Texas touchdowns sealed the come-from-behind win for the Longhorns. Ash found Johnathan Gray from 15 yards out with 8:18 remaining and followed that up with a 36-yard touchdown pass to Marquise Goodwin with just 2:24 left in the game.
