The Oregon State Beavers fell short in their season opener to Sacramento State, 29-28. But they went down by making trouble. First, they needed to come back from a 15-point deficit in the fourth quarter. Then, when they did that, the Beavers needed to win the game in overtime. Though they did score the first touchdown in overtime, the Beavers defense failed to hold things down on the Hornets’ drive.
Oregon State Vs. Sacramento State Final Score: Hornets Send Beavers To 29-28 Defeat
Hornets quarterback Jeff Fleming connected with Brandyn Reed for a six-yard touchdown. Instead of going for the extra point and an additional series in overtime, the Hornets went for the two-point conversion on another Fleming-to-Reed connection. It was successful for the 29-28 upset.
Oregon State running back Malcolm Agnew was a big part of Oregon's ultimately futile comeback, as he dominated on the ground. He rushed 33 times for 223 yards, but none were bigger than his two touchdown runs in the fourth quarter.
