Oregon State dropped the first game on the season 30-21. Jack Plummer threw for 313 yards and 2 touchdowns, while his favorite target David Bell racked up 134 yards on 8 receptions. Despite allowing 30 points the Beavers defense showed great improvement. On three separate occasions the Beavers gave up possession in their own territory (1 interception, 2 turnover on downs). The biggest disappointment was Sam Noyer and the Beavers inability to establish the run or keep George Karlaftis out of their backfield. Here’s how it all went down:
FIRST HALF
The Beavers showed off their new and improved defense early and on Oregon State’s 2nd possession they pulled off a nice trick play (Tyjon Lindsey pass to Teagan Quitoriano for 34 yards).
