No. 12 Oregon State Shuts Down Stanford in Big Win

Stanford had a tough showing in their Week 11 matchup against No. 12 Oregon State

Coming off a huge win against Washington State in Pullman, Stanford hit the road again for their Week 11 matchup against No. 12 Oregon State. 

The game started as poorly as it could for the Cardinal who knew coming in that they couldn't afford to turn the ball over, but saw quarterback Ashton Daniels force a throw to Elic Ayomanor that was picked off on the first possession of the game. 

The Beavers charged down the field in a hurry as Damien Martinez powered in what would be his first of four rushing touchdowns on the day. Oregon State would force a punt on the next drive for Stanford, and when the offense got the ball handed it off to Martinez again who took it 59 yards for the score.

Daniels Followed that score up with his second pick of the first quarter, but the Stanford defense made a huge stop that led to Daniels rushing in a score to make it 14-7. Martinez and the Beavers answered again with another rushing touchdown, while Stanford's offense continued to struggle. They trailed 34-10 at the half, which quickly became 41-10 then 48-10 after Daniels was picked off again.

Daniels also ended up exiting the game with an apparent left hand injury, but he did connect with Ayomanor for a 75-yard touchdown that made it 17-55.

The Beavers were simply too much for the Cardinal, as they totaled 598 yards of offense while the Stanford offense was struggling all game to move and protect the ball. 

The Cardinal fell to 3-7 on the year, while Oregon State advanced to 8-2.
