He is the 16th player to have an interception, a rushing touchdown and a receiving touchdown in the same season since 1996, and the second this year (Baylor’s Dillon Doyle). for 208 yards and two touch- downs with Trevon Bradford catching six passes for 74 CORVALLIS — Oregon State took a pretty good shot yards and a score.
