No. 9 Oregon found consistency on offense in a big way on Saturday, thumping host Oregon State 49-14 in Corvallis, Ore.
Oregon (3-0) scored on eight possessions and turned an eight-point lead into a blowout for its first win at Oregon State since 2018. Dillon Gabriel finished 20-of-24 passing for 291 yards with two touchdown passes and added another touchdown on the ground.
Jordan James had 86 yards on 12 carries, including a touchdown in each half, and Noah Whittington added 64 rushing yards, including a 27-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. Tez Johnson reeled in seven catches for 110 yards as the Ducks gained 546 yards of total offense against a defense that had allowed 15 points combined in its first two games.
Oregon won for the 14th time in the last 17 games in the in-state rivalry and outscored Oregon State (2-1) 27-0 in the second half after taking a 22-14 halftime lead. In the second half, former Beavers kicker Atticus Sappington made both field goal attempts and Jayden Limar took a screen pass 65 yards for a touchdown with 10:43 to play in the game.
Oregon had the ball for roughly nine minutes in the first half but scored touchdowns on all three possessions. James ran for a 4-yard touchdown on the first drive, then Gabriel found a hole on the left side and outran the Beavers defense 54 yards for a score. With a 2-point conversion, the Ducks led 15-7.
The Ducks took a 22-7 lead with 6:43 to play in the second quarter on Gabriel's 20-yard strike to Traeshon Holden in the back of the end zone.
Oregon State moved the ball 81 yards on 14 plays for a 1-yard touchdown run for Anthony Hankerson, who capped off the Beavers' first drive of the game with a 6-yard rushing touchdown.
The Beavers couldn't stop Gabriel, who was 10-of-10 passing for 114 yards in the first half and completed a career-high 15 straight passes before throwing his first incompletion early in the third.
Oregon State had 116 rushing yards at halftime but was held to 15 in the second half. Hankers had 57 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries for the game and Gevani McCoy completed 22 of 34 passes for 172 yards.
