Oregon State vs. Minnesota: Grades & Analysis

Darell Garretson was mostly impressive in his Oregon State debut. Throwing for 3 TD’s and completing 62.5% of his passes despite a number of drops from his receivers. The only thing holding him back from from an “A” grade was his two fumbles (which weren’t entirely his fault) and the lack of offensive production in the fourth quarter. Garretson took some big hits and bounced back each time. He was under pressure most of the night and stayed in their delivering some nice throws. Head Coach, Gary Andersen wasn’t shy about handing out praise to his new quarterback telling OregonLive “You're not going to find a tougher kid than that, He'll stay in there and he'll fight like crazy.
