Rodgers runs for 4 TDs in 38-28 Oregon St win

CORVALLIS, Ore. — Jacquizz Rodgers upstaged Toby Gerhart.

Rodgers ran for a career-high 189 yards and four touchdowns in Oregon State’s 38-28 victory over Stanford on Saturday.

The loss snapped a three-game winning streak and dropped the Cardinal (4-2, 3-1) out of the top spot in the Pacific-10 Conference.

Rodgers’ four rushing touchdowns in the game matched a school record held by several others. His older bother, James Rodgers, caught five passes for 71 yards and another score for the Beavers (4-2, 2-1).

Gerhart, who was grabbing some preliminary Heisman buzz, ran for 96 yards and two touchdowns. Going into the game he was averaging 130 yards rushing to rank fourth in the nation.
