Overview

• No. 6 Oregon rolled to 585 yards of offense as Dante Moore threw a career-best four touchdown passes in the rivalry win.
• Oregon State’s offense sputtered with a non-existent run game tied to poor offensive line play and a 5-for-18 outing from quarterback Maalik Murphy, who has five interceptions this season.
• Special teams remained a liability for Oregon State despite clean long snapping from freshman Will Haverland, with coverage mistakes and discipline issues prompting calls for staff changes in local analysis.
• With the Beavers at 0-4, Friday’s home game against Houston is portrayed as a potential breaking point for coach Trent Bray, though the athletic director publicly backed him last week.
• Houston opened as a 10.5-point favorite (OSU +300, UH -385), while Oregon is a 3.5-point underdog at No. 2 Penn State, according to Action Network.
