Oregon State Beavers vs Nevada Wolf Pack Game Highlights
In a game that the Beavers are likely happy to see over, there were few highlights from Oregon but the gameplay included:
- The Beavers started the scoring in the opening kickoff with an eight-play, 75-yard drive with good passes from Gevani McCoy who found Jermaine Terry and Jeremiah Noga for nine yards before tailback Anthony Hankerson charged 28 yards down the sideline. Subbed-in Jake Reichle plunged ahead for the game’s first touchdown.
- The were several pivotal plays. On first and goal, Hankerson’s penchant for violence resulted in three broken tackles followed by a spin into the end zone. A holding penalty on Nevada’s Bryce Caufield wiped out his touchdown and- after going for broke on fourth and goal, the Beavers came up broke.
- Oregon’s offense ended the first half with acclaim and seized the lead, thanks to Jeremiah Noga’s leaping grab down the right sideline, and an 18-yard touchdown run by Hankerson. Nevada then ran out the clock and Oregon State went into halftime up 17-14.
- Despite being backed against the wall, Nevada’s amazing running game included a nine-play 75-yard drive with seven runs, including Red’s massive effort carrying tacklers into the end zone to claw the home team within three.
- The Beaver’s next drive got help from back-to-back penalties by Nevada defensive backs, but on third & long Wolfpack Michael Coats Jr stepped in front of a throw meant for Walker, securing Nevada’s second interception.
- Nevada’s electric running shocked the Beavers defense who responded quickly but without putting much on the board. As time ran down, McCoy’s prayer to the end zone went unanswered as Coates Jr caught his second pick of the night.
