Jam Griffin and Anthony Hankerson each rushed for a touchdown and visiting Oregon State held San Diego State to seven first downs in a 21-0 victory on Saturday night.

Oregon State (2-0) ran 78 total plays and possessed the ball for 41:07, while the Aztecs (1-1) had the ball for just 18:53 and called 49 plays.

Griffin rushed for 89 yards on 18 carries, and Hankerson finished with 71 yards on 16 carries.

Oregon State quarterback Gevani McCoy completed 15 of 25 passes for 160 yards. Trent Walker was his top target, finishing with eight receptions for 92 yards. Gabarri Johnson threw for a TD for the Beavers.

San Diego State true freshman quarterback Danny O'Neil completed 11 of 24 passes for 107 yards.

The Beavers were leading 7-0 when Walker dropped a wide-open pass on a flea flicker early in the third quarter, and the ensuing punt travelled just 14 yards to the San Diego State 45.

A 9-yard run by Marquez Cooper moved the Aztecs into Oregon State territory for the first time, and a 35-yard catch from Louis Brown IV soon put the ball at the Beavers 7.

O'Neil fumbled three plays later, however, losing the ball as he dove for the goal line, and Oregon State recovered at the 2.

The Beavers then marched 98 yards in 13 plays and took a 14-0 lead when Hankerson scored on the first play of the fourth quarter on fourth-and-1 from the San Diego State 15, dashing around the left end.

Oregon State sealed the win with a 21-yard touchdown pass from Johnson to Bryce Caufield with 4:36 remaining.

The Beavers started their first drive of the game at their own 47 and scored five plays later when Griffin ran around the left end and dove over the pylon to complete a 16-yard touchdown run for a 7-0 lead.

The Beavers missed a chance to add to their lead, as Everett Hayes missed a 38-yard field goal with seven seconds left in the first half.

San Diego State punted on five of its first-half drives, managing just 101 total yards of offense and three first downs before the break.
