Oregon State rushed for 365 yards and 5 touchdowns, their most since 2016, led by Anthony Hankerson's 204 yards and 4 TDs. This ground game dominance will be a key factor in future games, especially against weaker run defenses.
Gabarri Johnson replaced Maalik Murphy in the third quarter and provided a dual-threat spark, completing 7 of 9 passes for 79 yards with a TD and an interception, while adding 82 rushing yards. This could lead to a quarterback competition or a more dynamic offensive approach moving forward.
The win ended an eight-game skid dating to last season, giving the team a much-needed confidence boost. However, the 1-7 record indicates significant struggles, and consistency will be crucial to build on this momentum.
Despite the win, Oregon State allowed Lafayette to lead 13-10 at halftime and gave up 176 passing yards. The defense must tighten up, especially against stronger opponents, to avoid falling behind early in future games.
