With Jacob Eason pressing and looking more uncomfortable than he ever had as a Husky, with the ongoing issues catching passes...penalties...turnovers....special teams struggles...it looked like the perfect recipe for a high-powered Oregon State offense to take advantage of an inconsistent and beleaguered Husky defense to end an 8-year streak of Husky dominance in the series.
Instead, in a game that was there for the taking, the Beavers managed to put up 119 yards of total offense on the day, with only 8 after half time (along with ZERO first downs) as the Husky offense accounted for all 26 points scored in the game (unfortunately only 19 for the good guys, though).
