The Oregon State Beavers had a huge victory on Saturday, defeating the No. 10 Utah Utes 21-7. It was a defensive battle for most of the game, with both teams struggling to move the ball. However, the Beavers were able to capitalize on two big plays from Silas Bolden that resulted in touchdowns.
The first touchdown came in the second quarter when Bolden caught a pass from quarterback Tristan Gebbia and ran it in for a 20-yard score. The second touchdown came in the fourth quarter, when Bolden took a handoff from Gebbia and ran it in for a 12-yard score.
The Beavers defense also played a big role in the victory, holding the Utes to just seven points. The defense was led by linebacker Omar Speights, who had nine tackles and one sack. The Beavers also forced two turnovers, with safety Jalen Moore intercepting a pass and defensive end Jeromy Reichner recovering a fumble.
The victory was a huge one for the Beavers, as it marked their first win over a ranked opponent since 2016. It was also a big win for Bolden, who had his best game of the season with two touchdowns and over 100 yards of total offense.
The Beavers will now look to build on this momentum as they prepare for their next game against Washington State. With Bolden leading the way, the Beavers have a chance to make some noise in the Pac-12 this season.
