MADISON, Wis. - Sean Mannion threw for 244 yards with Jordan Bishop accounting for a career-best 98 but the Beavers dropped a 35-0 decision to No. 8 Wisconsin Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium.
Mannion finished the game 25-of-38 in the most action he has seen in two seasons - one redshirt year - at Oregon State. Five of his 25 passes went to Bishop, whose 98 yards receiving surpassed his previous high of 86 against Arizona State in 2010.
The quarterback also found Markus Wheaton for 83 yards on eight receptions, but the Beavers failed to find the end zone and dropped to 0-2 this season. Wisconsin, meanwhile, improved to 2-0.
The Beavers' defense remained stout throughout the first half; the Badgers managed just three yards rushing in the first quarter and 82 entering halftime en route to a 21-0 lead.
Conversely, however, Wisconsin allowed the Beavers just 23 yards rushing, with Jordan Jenkins taking the team lead at 20.
Feti `Unga led the Beavers with nine tackles, while Anthony Watkins and Lance Mitchell posted seven apiece. Rusty Fernando recorded his first career sack in the loss.
Russell Wilson was 17-of-21 for 189 yards and three touchdown strikes for Wisconsin. Two of his touchdown passes went to Jacob Pedersen, who led the Badgers with 80 yards receiving. Nick Toon caught a third and finished with 69 yards overall.
Montee Ball, who had 118 yards rushing, scored two touchdowns on the ground, both in the second half, to cap off Wisconsin's offensive afternoon.
