Taking his f irst college snap after starting quarterback Tristan Gebbia limped off, Chance Nolan scored on a one- yard, fourth- down run with 33 seconds left to give host Oregon State a 41- 38 upset victory over No. 15 Oregon on Friday night.

Jermar Jefferson ran for 226 yards and two touchdowns to help the Beavers ( 2- 2) win their second straight game. Jefferson has run for at least 100 yards in each of Oregon State’s four games and is on pace to hit 1,000 despite the short season.
