At Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium, the Oregon State Beavers were unable to secure victory against the Washington Huskies. Despite their efforts, the Beavers fell short with a final score that reflected their struggle throughout the game. The attendance was recorded at 66,469 spectators who witnessed an intense battle on an artificial surface within an outdoor venue capable of seating over 70,000 fans.


The Oregon State offense managed to accumulate a total of 330 yards during the game. Their passing attack contributed 229 yards with a completion percentage rounded to 58 percent and one touchdown pass that covered three yards. On the ground, they rushed for another 134 yards including one rushing touchdown also from three yards out.


Field goal kicking was one bright spot for Oregon State as they successfully made three out of four attempts; their longest successful field goal was from 47 yards out. However, despite these efforts and maintaining possession for nearly half an hour (27:43), it wasn't enough to overcome their opponents' lead.


Defensively, Oregon State managed to sack Washington's quarterback three times for a loss of twenty-two total yards and blocked one special teams play which resulted in recovery by their own team. They also forced five fumbles but were only able to recover one themselves while losing two fumbles during offensive plays.


Special teams had mixed results; while kickoffs totaled four attempts covering two hundred forty-one yards resulting in two touchbacks and punts averaged thirty-eight net yards per attempt over five tries with one landing inside the twenty-yard line.


Unfortunately for Beaver fans looking forward to touchdowns from long plays or punt return excitement there were no touchdowns scored on plays over fifty-yards nor any punts returned for touchdowns respectively.


Penalties did not significantly impact Oregon State's performance as they only incurred three penalties totaling twenty-five penalty-yards against them throughout all four quarters which is below notable thresholds often impacting game outcomes negatively when exceeded by teams during football games.


Looking ahead after this tough loss on November seventeenth at Seattle's iconic stadium known as "The Greatest Setting in College Football," Beaver fans can mark their calendars for November twenty-third when they will host rivals -the Oregon Ducks- at Reser Stadium located in Corvallis under zip code area nine-seven-three-three-one within state boundaries belonging to OR partaking USA territories where Fox Sports One will broadcast live starting nine PM Eastern Time offering another chance for redemption before loyal supporters eager witnessing next chapter unfolding storied rivalry between these two university programs representing state pride highest level collegiate athletics competition offers today’s student athletes participating NCAA regulated events nationwide annually.
