To start Trent Bray's first season as head coach, the Oregon State Beavers are 3-1 following a 38-21 win over a Big Ten opponent in the Purdue Boilermakers. It's an encouraging start for a team who found their identity in the running game over the first 25% of the regular season.

The Oregon State Beavers defeated the Purdue Boilermakers 38-21 Saturday night at Reser Stadium, improving to 3-1 heading into their first bye week of the season. It was a nice rebound performance for the Beavers after their lopsided loss to the rival Oregon Ducks.

While Card and Purdue's passing game sputtered, Oregon State quarterback Gevani McCoy steadily moved the chains. He mixed well-time scrambles and option looks to rush for 66 yards, but also showed he could sling it in the two-minute drill to close the first half.
