It wasn’t an old fashioned ‘butt-whipping’, but in every way it was a dominating performance as the Oregon State Beavers cruised to a 34-7 win over Portland State on a wet Saturday afternoon on Corvallis. The rain held off as the Beaver defense held the Vikings to three-and-out in their first possession.
Then, Sean Canfield and James Rodgers lined up on offense for the first official play of the 2009 season and teamed up for the sixth longest touchdown pass in OSU history, an 87 yarder.
Rodgers’ younger brother Jacquizz got in on the action in the next possession. The Beavers capitalized on a PSU fumble on the Vikings’ 38 yard line and put together a brief 8-play drive, capped by a five-yard run by Rodgers the younger.
OSU led 24-nothing at the half, and early in the third quarter went to backup quarterback Ryan Katz and several other reserves who picked up valuable game experience as OSU cruised through the afternoon.
By that time, Sean Canfield had thrown the ball 11 times, completing eight of those for a total of 158 yards. The lefty senior hit four different receivers, with Jacquizz Rodgers catching four passes for 32 yards. Quizz also carried the ball 16 times for 104 yards and three touchdowns.
PSU did manage a score with 2:51 remaining on a one yard run by backup quarterback Connor Kavanaugh that provided the final score in the game.
