CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Oregon State's offensive prowess propelled them to a 48-30 victory over Washington State on Saturday. Quarterback Braden Atkinson spearheaded the effort, completing 347 yards and three touchdowns. Oregon State quickly took control of the game, with redshirt freshman Owen Eshelman leading three straight touchdown drives in the fourth quarter.

Eshelman's performance was crucial as the Cougars finished the game with a 30-point effort, the highest against an FBS program this season. Washington State's running back AJ Newberry contributed significantly with 105 rushing yards and 120 receiving yards, including a touchdown. Wide receiver Jesse Legree also had a standout performance with 108 receiving yards, two touchdowns, and 108 receiving yards on eight receptions for the Beavers.

Jake Reichle added two rushing touchdowns for Oregon State. The game marked the first time Legree reached the 1,000-yard receiving milestone this season.
