November 02, 2014 | Football
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Quarterback Sean Mannion set the Pac-12 Conference's career passing yardage record on Saturday night but California downed the Beavers 45-31 before a Homecoming crowd of 42,479 at Reser Stadium.
Mannion set the yardage record with 14:02 remaining in the game on a 15-yard completion to tight end Connor Hamlett. That gave him 12,334 yards, eclipsing the old record of 12,327, established by ex-USC star Matt Barkley from 2009-12.
Overall Mannion was 30-for-45 for 320 yards and two touchdowns, stretching his record total to 12,454 yards. He moved ahead of Keith Price (75) and Alex Brink (76) into 10th place on the Pac-12 career list with 77 touchdown passes.
The Beavers (4-4 overall, 1-4 Pac-12) exploded for 21 unanswered points in the third and fourth quarters to erase a 27-10 deficit. Tailback Terron Ward's 16-yard run gave OSU a 31-27 lead with 12:02 remaining.
However, the Bears (5-4 overall, 3-4 Pac-12) replied with 17 straight points in the final 8:42 for their first win at Reser Stadium since 2006.
Tailback Storm Woods had a 49-yard run and gained 78 yards on nine carries. Ward added 53 yards and a touchdown on eight carries.
Wide receiver Victor Bolden matched his career high with 11 receptions for 119 yards. Wide receiver Jordan Villamin established career highs for catches (9) and yards (140) and a touchdown.
Cal led 3-0 after one quarter on a 41-yard field goal by James Langford with 1:19 left in the period. He also missed a 50-yarder on Cal's opening possession.
Oregon State went ahead briefly, 7-3, on Mannion's 3-yard touchdown pass to Rahmel Dockery early in the second quarter. But Cal bracketed Trevor Romaine's 30-yard field goal with 14- and 21-yard TD runs by Daniel Lasco and added Langford's 26-yard field goal with 14 seconds left for a 20-10 intermission lead.
The Beavers resume Pac-12 Conference play against Washington State at 1:07 p.m. Saturday at Reser Stadium. The Dad's Weekend game will be televised by the Pac-12 Network.
