The game was marked by the Cardinal's overwhelming offensive display, accumulating an impressive total of 592 yards. The passing game was particularly effective; the quarterback threw for 352 yards with a completion rate of approximately 66 percent and four touchdowns. One pass stood out as it connected for a remarkable distance of 75 yards resulting in a touchdown. On the ground, the rushing attack added another dimension to their offense with 244 yards and three touchdowns, including one notable rush that broke free for an impressive gain of 41 yards.


Special teams also contributed significantly to the victory. The kickoff unit managed to keep pressure on the Beavers by sending seven kicks into the end zone and achieving six touchbacks out of eight kickoffs. In terms of discipline on both sides, penalties were kept relatively low with only eight infractions totaling seventy penalty yards against Stanford.


Defensively, Stanford made its presence felt by sacking Oregon State's quarterback twice for a loss totaling seventeen yards and securing an interception without allowing any return yardage from it. This interception contributed to limiting Oregon State’s scoring opportunities throughout the game.


Red zone efficiency was flawless for Stanford as they capitalized on all three attempts within this critical area on both rushing and passing plays. Third-down conversions were successful half of twelve attempts while fourth-down efforts were perfect with two conversions on two attempts.


As fans look ahead, they can mark their calendars for another exciting encounter when their beloved team travels to face off against California Golden Bears at California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley on November 17th at 4:30 PM PST. This upcoming game will be broadcasted live on Pac-12 Network where fans can tune in to support their team once again.


With this comprehensive victory behind them, supporters are undoubtedly eager to see if Stanford can maintain this level of play as they continue through what has been an exciting season thus far.
