The Oregon State Beavers, with a 6-2 record, faced off against the Arizona Wildcats, standing at 5-3. The game ended with a close score of 24-27 in favor of the home team.

In an intense encounter at Arizona Stadium, the Oregon State Beavers displayed resilience but ultimately fell short against the Wildcats. The Beavers' offense accumulated a total of 407 yards with an average gain of six yards per play. Their passing game was particularly effective, contributing 276 yards to their offensive efforts. Quarterback efficiency was notable as well, with a passer rating of nearly 145 and completing over half their passes including two for touchdowns.

The rushing attack added another dimension to the Beaver's offense, tallying up 131 yards on the ground and securing one touchdown from within eight yards out. They managed nine first downs through rushing and had four red zone attempts throughout the game.

Special teams also played their part; all four kickoffs by Oregon State resulted in touchbacks. Their lone field goal attempt sailed through from thirty-five yards out, maintaining a perfect kicking percentage for field goals during this contest.

Defensively, Oregon State made its presence felt by sacking the opposing quarterback four times for a loss of thirty total sack-yards and recording one interception without allowing any return yardage on it.

The final period saw both teams score fourteen points each but it wasn't sufficient for Oregon State to overcome their opponents on this occasion.
