No. 13 Utah 27, Oregon State 12

After a failed onside kick attempt, the Oregon State defense came up big, stopping Utah on fourth-and-one on the OSU 46.

11 – Sacks allowed by Utah, which is the second fewest in the Pac-12. The offense did not turn the ball over during the game. Travis Wilson and Devontae Booker will need to get things rolling again for the Utah offense against a Beavers defense that has given up a ton of points on a number of occasions already this season. “It feels good to get a win”. 7-1 was the objective coming into tonight and that was the only thing we were concerned about. The Utah Utes are 4-0 and 3-1 against the spread.

“I think it was just, they couldn’t stop me, so why change?” he said. There was nothing different.

Over the final three quarters, Andersen said, “We tackled”. Opportunities like that must be converted and many more will need to be created. The defense got a boost with the return of senior, team captain, linebacker Jared Norris, who missed the USC game. It MAY be all we have, especially with the rash of recent injuries, which not coincidentally coincided with the latest run of inconsistency on the field, where the Beavers have struggled to follow up on any given good play or series with more of the same. “As far as (Andersen) goes, we speak just about every week”. He started out 9-of-10 and finished 14-of-17. Seth Collins is completing 51.9 percent of his passes for 890 yards, six touchdowns and four interceptions.

“I thought I did well”, Mitchell said. The Utah Utes ground game is averaging 178.8 yards per contest, and Booker leads the way with 845 yards and eight touchdowns. Wilson also added 56 yards rushing (one touchdown). Meanwhile, the running game was even more anemic, gaining just 108 yards on 30 carries. The Buckeyes received 39 first-place votes.

After an Oregon State punt, the Utes took over at their 10 and marched 90 yards in five plays. Britain Covey and Kenneth Scott have combined for 649 receiving yards and Devontae Booker has 29 receptions.

Mitchell threw for 204 yards and a touchdown.

Neither team managed to score in the third quarter. In it’s last two games, they’re minus-4. In a rollercoaster season, the Oregon football team has yet to lose two games in a row, nor has it won two games in a row. The score was set up by a 75-yard reception from Jordan Villamin, but they failed to convert the two-point conversion. However all four teams have lost at least one game and thus been proven beatable, and a fully healthy Oregon team playing at its best has the ability to defeat any of them.
