- That's the most games decided by three points or less since 2010, when the Beavers were 2-2.

The RBs
- Artavis Pierce (10th at 2,103 rushing yards) and Jermar Jefferson (12th at 1,984) both feature prominently in Oregon State's career record books.
- Jefferson moved to within 16 yards of 2,000 for his career with a 132-yard rushing effort versus Washington State last weekend.

Speaking Of Jefferson

Luton To Hodgins

- Luton is looking to become just the third OSU QB with 20 or more touchdowns in a season with less than 10 interceptions. He would join Jonathan Smith (20 TDs/7 INTs in 2000) and Sean Canfield (21 TDs/7 INTs in 2009).
- Luton has thrown three interceptions in 2019.
- He is looking to become the first Oregon State QB to start every game in a season since Sean Mannion in 2014.
- Luton tied an Oregon State record with four touchdown passes in the first half in the win over Cal Poly, equaling Scott Richardson (1979 vs. Washington State), Derek Anderson (2002 vs. UNLV), Lyle Moevao (2008 vs. Oregon) and Sean Mannion (2013 vs. Colorado).
- The QB has at least two touchdown passes in seven games this season, including four or more four times (five versus both UCLA and Washington State and four each against Cal Poly and Arizona State).

Luton's Career Books
- Jake Luton, on the heels of his five-touchdown effort versus Washington State, now has 42 career touchdown passes at OSU, good for fifth in the program's record books.
