Oregon State Edges Washington State 10-7 as Defense Takes Over Late

The defense-led surge under interim coach Robb Akey keeps Oregon State's reset on track after an 0-7 start.

Overview

  • Anthony Hankerson rushed for 132 yards and scored the go-ahead 1-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter.
  • The Beavers managed just 185 total yards but shut out Washington State after halftime with two interceptions and six sacks of Zevi Eckhaus.
  • Washington State's Jack Stevens missed a 32-yard field goal with 1:05 left that would have tied the game.
  • Starter Gabarri Johnson exited in the third quarter with an apparent lower-leg or foot injury, and Maalik Murphy finished at quarterback for Oregon State.
  • Oregon State hosts winless Sam Houston on Nov. 8 as a heavy favorite after opening around -17.5 and moving to -19.5, with a Nov. 29 rematch in Pullman set to decide the two-team Pac-12 after this first meeting counted as a nonconference game.
