Oregon State 3, UCLA 0 [2:52 left in first quarter]
Oregon State drove from its own 10-yard line to the UCLA five on its first possession, getting a 25-yard field goal from Trevor Romaine.
The Beavers took 7 minutes 46 seconds off the clock, converting three times on third down. Quarterback Sean Mannion completed four of six passes for 67 yards, including a 31-yard completion to James Rodgers, who is playing his first game since severely injuring his left knee against Arizona last Oct. 9.
Mannion completed three third-down passes.
Pregame
UCLA free safety Tony Dye is not expected to play against Oregon State on Saturday because of a shoulder injury.
Rick Neuheisel said Thursday that Dye was “50-50” due to a “nerve issue.” Dye was injured against San Jose State on Sept. 10, but played last week against Texas. He did not practice this week.
Dye, a team captain, had started 28 consecutive games. Tevin McDonald will start in Dye’s place.
