Quizz Bowl: No. 25 Beavers get star Jacquizz Rodgers going, hold on vs. Louisville 35-28

Rodgers, No. 25 Oregon St hold on vs. Louisville

CORVALLIS, Ore. — Jacquizz Rodgers ran for 132 yards and two touchdowns and James Dockery sealed the game with an interception in No. 25 Oregon State’s 35-28 win over Louisville on Saturday night.

Ryan Katz threw for 142 yards and the Beavers re-established Rodgers as the focal point of the offense, but the Cardinals gave Oregon State a major scare and may have caught the Beavers (1-1) looking ahead to a matchup with No. 3 Boise State next week.

Quarterback Adam Froman threw for 288 yards and helped the Cardinals come back from a three touchdown deficit. Louisville had a final chance to tie or win the game and was driving at the Beavers’ 49 with under a minute left but Froman’s errant pass to Dockery ended the threat.

The Cardinals (1-2) moved the ball effectively in their third game under new coach Charlie Strong, rolling up 453 yards of offense.
