The broadcast crew repeatedly hammered home that this game was a ‘low possession’ game, but the 9 drives by each team ended only 2 shy of the usual 11-12 drives per game we have seen in Oregon State games this year. The number of plays was similar, with the Beaver offense on the field for 61 (they average 65) and the defense for 64 (average 68). It was definitely a lower possession game than usual, but one that played out with the tempo Oregon State looks to play to.
Offense
The Beavers outgained the Wildcats in total yards 407-363 despite running nearly the same number of plays.
