Oregon State beats Arizona State, 24-10
Beavers alive
for berth in Pac-12
championship game
Pac-12 championship game scenarios

Associated Press
CORVALLIS — A week
after becoming bowl eligible
for the fi rst time since 2013,
Oregon State remains in con-
tention for the Pac-12 North
Division title following a
24-10 victory Saturday night,
Nov. 20 over Arizona State.
A program coming off a
1-11 season before Jonathan
Smith took over as head
coach at his alma mater in
2018, the Beavers (7-4, 5-3
Pac-12) have come a long
way.
Jack Colletto ignited a
stagnant Oregon State of-
fense by running 47 yards for
a touchdown on fourth-and-2
from the Wildcat formation,
giving the Beavers a 24-10
lead with 11:24 remaining.
“I was thinking touch-
down all the way,” Colletto
said with a smile. “Adrena-
line kicked in on that one.”
It was the eighth rushing
touchdown of the season for
Colletto, a former quarter-
back converted to linebacker
in 2019.
B.J. Baylor led Oregon
State’s offense with 150
yards rushing.
The Beavers were in jeop-
ardy of squandering a 17-0
halftime lead.
Punter Luke Loecher
mishandled a snap deep in
Oregon State territory in the
opening minute of the fourth
quarter and the Sun Devils
recovered at the 4.
That set up DeaMonte
Trayanum’s 1-yard touch-
down run, cutting the lead to
17-10 with 13:56 remaining.

Oregon State’s B.J. Baylor (No. 4) runs the ball as the Beavers take on the Arizona
State Sun Devils in a Pac-12 football game on Saturday, Nov. 20, 2021, at Reser
Stadium in Corvallis.
Baylor’s 20-yard run on
the ensuing possession gave
the Beavers a spark, and
Colletto’s touchdown run
proved decisive.
If Washington defeats
Washington State (6-5, 5-3)
at home Friday, and Oregon
State wins at Oregon (9-2,
6-2) the following day, the
Beavers would play Utah
in the Pac-12 championship
game Dec. 3 in Las Vegas.
Oregon controls its own
destiny and would win the
North Division with a win
over the Beavers. In a three-
way tie between Oregon, Or-
egon State and Washington
State, the Cougars would get
the nod in a tiebreaker.
“Some things have got
to fall our way to win the
North,” Oregon State wide
receiver Trevon Bradford
said. “But this game, we had
to take care of business and
do our part.”
Arizona State (7-4, 5-3)
was missing 14 players
due to injury. Quarterback
Jayden Daniels completed
16 of 27 passes for 166 yards
and an interception, and was
sacked three times. He led
the Sun Devils in rushing
with 46 yards.
Since Smith fi red defen-
sive coordinator Tim Tibesar
on November 7, the Beavers
have given up a total of 24
points in wins over Stanford
and Arizona State under
interim defensive coordina-
tor Trent Bray. And the Sun
Devils’ lone touchdown came
after a turnover inside the
Beavers’ 5-yard line.
“I can’t say enough about
our defensive effort and
performance,” Smith said.
“Those guys came to play
(and) create some havoc.”
Chance Nolan’s 10-
yard touchdown pass to
Tre’Shaun Harrison gave
Oregon State a 10-0 lead
with 9:09 remaining in the
fi rst half.
Nolan’s 1-yard touchdown
on a quarterback sneak at
1:59 of the second quarter
culminated a 13-play, 88-
yard drive and increased the
lead to 17-0 at the break.
Arizona State drove to the
Beavers’ 8-yard line on its
fi rst possession of the second
half, but settled for Cristian
Zendejas’ 26-yard fi eld to
make it a 17-3 game.
Rachaad White had 15
carries for 39 yards and
added six receptions for 89
yards for Arizona State.
The takeaway
Arizona State: The
Ducks, Beavers, Cougars in contention for Pac-12 title game
The Pac-12 North division title remains up for grabs head-
ing into the fi nal week of the Pac-12 football regular season.
The Oregon Ducks, Oregon State Beavers and Washington
State Cougars each still have a chance to win the division
and play Pac-12 South champion Utah in the Pac-12 cham-
pionship game.
Here are the scenarios:
• Oregon will win the Pac-12 North with: a victory against
Oregon State in their rivalry game at 12:30 p.m. next Satur-
day, Nov. 27, in Eugene.
• Oregon State will win the Pac-12 North with: a victory
against Oregon in their rivalry game, combined with a
Washington State loss to Washington in the Apple Cup on
Friday.
• Washington State will win the Pac-12 North with: a
victory against Washington in the Apple Cup, combined
with an Oregon State win against Oregon. If this scenario
happens, the Ducks, Beavers and Cougars would have
identical conference records of 5-3. But the Cougars would
win the three-way tiebreaker by virtue of having a better
record against Pac-12 North teams (at 4-1) than the Ducks
and Beavers (both at 3-2).

Frustration growing after Seattle Wright’s
career
Seahawks falter against Cardinals high leads
By TIM BOOTH
Associated Press
SEATTLE — Pete Carroll
is willing to give an answer —
usually with many words and
thoughts — to nearly every
question.
On Sunday, Nov. 21, Carroll
had no answers and for a time
was fi nished with the questions.
“It’s not a different story. It’s
the same story this whole season
and we’ve got to see if we can
turn this thing. I’m really done,”
Carroll said, abruptly ending
his postgame comments after
Seattle’s 23-13 loss to Arizona.
It was a rare outburst of frus-
tration from Carroll during his
long tenure with the Seahawks.
But it’s also unusual that Seattle
has been this bad with Carroll in
charge.
Seattle is 3-7, its playoff
hopes seemingly gone with the
loss to the Cardinals. His team
is abysmal on offense, can’t get
stops consistently on defense and
has massive personnel issues
looming.
Carroll eventually returned
and took more questions but still
had few answers.
control possession. James Conner
put the game away with a short
TD run late in the fourth quarter,
but Seattle had a chance mostly
because of two missed fi eld goals
by Arizona’s Matt Prater.
For a game deemed a must-
win by the Seahawks, the per-
formance was as disappointing
as any in recent memory. With
seven games left, Seattle has
already equaled its most losses
in any season with Wilson and
is likely to miss the playoffs for
just the third time since Carroll
arrived in 2010.
When Carroll returned to
take more questions, he acknowl-
edged being as frustrated as
he’s ever been in his time with
Seattle.
“I’m struggling to do a good
job of coaching when you’re get-
ting your butt kicked in week
in and week out. It’s just new
territory,” Carroll said. “So I’m
competing in every way I can
think of, but I’m just unfamiliar
with it.”
In his second game back
following fi nger surgery, Wilson
was indecisive and confused at
times, and his receivers dropped
“I’m not any good at this,” Car-
roll said about handling losing.
Seattle was already playing
with a thin margin for error, but
between injuries and poor perfor-
mances the season has spiraled
downward. A team that’s been in
the playoffs in nine of the previ-
ous 11 seasons is near the bottom
of the league.
The Seahawks said all the
right things following the loss
about how they can turn things
around and still have something
to play for. And while that’s true
— an NFC team could make the
playoffs with a 9-8 record — Se-
attle would have to raise its level
of play signifi cantly and sustain
it for the rest of the season.
“This is not what Seattle is
used to,” safety Jamal Adams
said. “But at the end of the day,
we got to go out there and we got
to switch it around. We’re in a
storm right now and it’s going to
take all of us to get out.”
The loss to Arizona encapsu-
lated all of Seattle’s issues. Rus-
sell Wilson was average at best.
Seattle’s defense let Colt McCoy
move up and down the fi eld with
ease and allowed Arizona to
a handful of passes. There were
also questionable play calls when
the likes of Penny Hart and
DeeJay Dallas were targeted on
third down.
The Seahawks’ streak of of-
fensive drives without a touch-
down dating to Oct. 31 against
Jacksonville fi nally ended when
Dallas scored on a 2-yard run
midway through the fourth quar-
ter. Seattle had failed to score a
TD on its previous 20 offensive
possessions, and after stressing
the run game all week, Dallas’
TD run was one of seven rushing
attempts in the second half by
the Seahawks.
But the defensive effort was
more troubling. Arizona had
touchdown drives of 92, 82 and
67 yards. The Cardinals held the
ball more than 40 minutes. The
journeyman McCoy posted the
third 300-yard passing game of
his career.
“As much talent as we have
on this roster, it’s kind of it’s dis-
appointing,” Seattle linebacker
Jordyn Brooks said. “Just like
everybody else, gotta keep. And
I still think there’s hope. I’m still
optimistic.”
Princeton
past Oregon
State, 81-80
CORVALLIS (AP) — Ethan Wright scored
a career-high 24 points with six 3-pointers,
also a career best, and sank two free throws
with 6 seconds remaining as Princeton held
off Oregon State 81-80 on Sunday, Nov. 21.
The Ivy League Tigers (4-1) never trailed
after a Drew Friberg 3-pointer gave them a
29-27 lead at the 5:41 mark of the fi rst half,
and led by as many as 11 points with 6:33
remaining in the game.
Friberg added 17 points with four 3-point-
ers, Tosan Evbuomwan scored 14 with fi ve
assists, while Jaelin Llewellyn also scored 14.
Princeton has defeated Power Five op-
ponents South Carolina and Oregon State
while falling to Minnesota of the Big Ten in
double-overtime.
Dashawn Davis scored 16 with fi ve as-
sists to lead Oregon State (1-4) which lost its
fourth in a row. Jarod Lucas scored 13 and
Tre’ Williams 11 for the Beavers.
Lucas scored eight of his 13 in the fi nal
6:11 — including a 3-pointer that cut the gap
to 81-80 with 1 second remaining.
