Welcome to the first 2016 edition of Why It Worked, where we let coaches break down a specific play or elements of Oregon State's previous game and explain, well, why it worked.
A hot topic out of the Beavers' 30-23 loss to Minnesota was the immense pressure quarterback Darell Garretson faced. The Golden Gophers tallied four sacks — two that resulted in fumbles — and landed several other hits on the OSU signal-caller.
One way to combat that pass-rush? Quick screen and swing passes to the running back, an area where the Beavers found success at multiple points in the contest.
