Jacquizz Rodgers leads Beavers past Sun Devils

Jacquizz Rodgers finished with 145 yards and two touchdowns, and Ryan Katz passed for 260 yards and two touchdowns as host Oregon State (2-2, 1-0) held off Arizona State, 31-28, on Saturday.

Rodgers eclipsed the 100-yard mark for the 16th time in his career, scoring on a four-yard run in the first half before breaking off on a 74-yard run to the end zone in the second half to put the game out of reach for Arizona State (2-3, 0-2).

Following Rodgers’ second touchdown, Arizona State pulled to within three points after the Sun Devils made a two-point conversion following a 21-yard run by Cameron Marshall with less than three minutes left in the game. But it wasn’t enough.

The Sun Devils’ Steven Threet completed 14 of 29 passes for 203 yards and a touchdown. He also threw three interceptions and was sacked six times. Teammate Deantre Lewis finished with 104 yards rushing and a touchdown.
