The No. 21 Oregon State Beavers were down 31-10 to No. 9 Oregon with less than five minutes remaining in the third quarter, and proceeded to pull off one of the biggest comebacks of this in-state rivalry.
OSU (9-3 overall) scored 21 unanswered points in the 4th quarter to win 38-34 and put Oregon’s Pac-12 championship title berth hopes in serious jeopardy.
The Beavers relied on their running game to lead the comeback, with 260 total rushing yards against the Ducks.
Oregon (9-3) had 470 total yards of offense, but some questionable coaching decisions, including a 4th down attempt from their own 29 yard line proved to be costly.
Oregon still has a chance to reach next week’s Pac-12 championship game in Las Vegas against USC.
The Ducks need Washington State to beat Washington in the Apple Cup. Kickoff set for 7:30 p.m. on ESPN.
Twitter video appears to show Oregon football player punching Oregon State fan
A video circulating on Twitter appears to show Oregon linebacker DJ Johnson throwing a punch at an Oregon State fan, after the Beavers upset the Ducks in Corvallis during the annual rivalry game.
From the video, it’s unclear if anything was said by the fan to Johnson.
The team has not released a statement on the incident.
Johnson is a senior linebacker from Sacramento and had three total tackles in Saturday’s game.
