OREGON STATE CONTINUED their winning ways with a 34-13 win on the up in Seattle. James Rodgers took it to the house three times, with two 50-plus yard touchdown runs plus a long middle screen. The Beaver D's signature series came when on first and goal from the 1-yard line when the Huskies attempted four straight running plays. Oregon State stuffed the Dawgs each time on the goal line stand.

Oct. 18 | at Washington | W, 34-13

SHORT RECAP: A methodical beatdown of the once-proud Huskies continued the Oregon State roll, as James Rodgers raced for a pair of 50-plus yard touchdown runs and the Oregon State defense didn't allow the Huskies into the end zone until the game was effectively over. The Beaver offensive line -- LT Andy Levitre, LG Adam Speer, C Alex Linnenkohl, RG Gregg Peat and RT Mike Remmers -- played one of their best games and did not allow a sack while the OSU defense turned back Washington time and time again.

KEY STAT: 226 - The number of all-purpose yards James Rodgers had. He also had three touchdowns.

KEY QUOTE: "It was an awesome game. He’s a great player. He can do good every time, too. It shows you he's a very good player. Everyone's been saying I'm getting the spotlight, but that just shows you." - RB Jacquizz Rodgers
