While McCoy's play was solid, the Oregon State running game was the focal point of their offensive attack. OSU finished with 379 total yards of rushing on the day, with Jam Griffin and Anthony Hankerson both went over 150 yards on the ground.
The OSU Beavers continue their season on September 7 as they travel to San Diego State.
