Garretson, Togiai, Villamin shine at spring game
April 16, 2016 | Football
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Junior quarterback Darell Garretson threw for 263 yards and three touchdowns and receivers Noah Togiai and Jordan Villamin each cracked the 100-yard barrier on Saturday to lead the offense at the Oregon State spring football game.
A transfer from Utah State who redshirted in 2015, Garretson completed 21 of 32 passes to a variety of receivers. He teamed up with Villamin for scoring plays covering 43 and 24 yards, and ended the game with a 9-yard TD strike to freshman Trevon Bradford to finish a special two-minute drill on the final possession of the game.
A sophomore, Togiai led all receivers with seven catches for 107 yards. His one-handed, 23-yard reception from Garretson set up the ensuing scoring pass to Bradford, a former Oregon City standout who graduated early from high school to participate in spring practice.
The teams played two 15-minute quarters and an abbreviated second half. The game was played using special scoring rules and the White team (offense) edged the defense (Black team), 54-51.
The offense started quickly as Garretson and Villamin teamed up for a 43-yard scoring play on the first possession. He and Villamin later combined on the 24-yard scoring play in the second quarter.
Junior Kyle White, a transfer from Orange Coast CC, led all rushers with 53 yards on 10 carries. He scored the lone rushing TD on an 8-yard play set up by Garretson's 33-yard completion to Villamin.
Sophomore cornerback Dwayne Williams returned an interception 46-yards for a touchdown for the Black team. Garrett Owens concluded the first half with a 43-yard field goal, the only one attempted.
The Beavers open the 2016 season at Minnesota on Thursday, Sept. 1. They begin the seven-game home schedule in new-look Reser Stadium against the Idaho State Bengals on Saturday, Sept. 17. Other home games are against Boise State (Sept. 24), California (Oct. 8), Utah (Oct. 15), Washington State (Oct. 29), Arizona (Nov. 19) and Oregon (Nov. 26).
