November 09, 2014 | Football
CORVALLIS – Quarterback Sean Mannion threw for 419 yards on Saturday but Oregon State fell 39-32 to Washington State before a Dad's Weekend crowd of 44,377 at Reser Stadium.
The Cougars (3-7, 2-5 Pac-12) scored twice in the fourth quarter to erase a 25-24 deficit for their first victory at Reser Stadium since 2006. The Beavers (4-5, 1-5) had won 7 of the previous 8 games in the series.
Mannion was 31-for-41 for one touchdown without an interception and increased his Pac-12 career mark to 12,873 yards. He also assumed sole possession of ninth on the Pac-12 career list with 78 touchdown passes.
Freshman placekicker Garrett Owens was 4-for-4 on field goals (24, 37, 44, 46) in his third career start. His 46-yarder was a career-long.
The Beavers rallied from a 24-16 second-half deficit to take a 25-24 on Owens' 47-yard field goal with 14:15 to play, but they couldn't hold the Cougars off.
OSU jumped to a 10-0 first-quarter lead on Mannion's 14-yard TD pass to Connor Hamlett and a 24-yard field goal by Owens. The Cougars rallied behind three Luke Falk touchdown passes that offset two more Owens' field goals, and took a 21-16 halftime advantage.
WSU stretched its lead to 24-16 on a field goal before the Beavers mounted their comeback. Terron Ward's 1-yard TD run with 6:41 left in the third quarter brought OSU to within 24-22.
The Cougars answered again on another Falk TD pass and a two-point conversion to surge ahead 32-25 with 11:01 remaining. Falk's fifth TD pass, with 5:07 remaining, made it 39-25 and offset Terron Ward's TD with 3:00 to play that trimmed the lead to 39-32.
The Beavers never got the ball back, however, as WSU got two first downs and ran out the clock. Falk was 44-for-61 for 471 yards and five touchdowns in his first career start.
The Beavers resume Pac-12 Conference play against Arizona State at 7:45 p.m. Saturday at Reser Stadium. It will be televised by ESPN.
