Oregon State QB tosses 4 TD passes

-

CORVALLIS, Ore. — Sean Mannion threw for 372 yards and four touchdowns and Oregon State rebounded from a stunning loss in their season opener with a 33-14 victory over Hawaii on Saturday.

Brandin Cooks had 7 catches for 92 yards and 2 scores for the Beavers (1-1), who lost 49-46 at home last week to lower division Eastern Washington.

Oregon State had 508 yards of total offense while Hawaii (0-2) had just 239.

The Rainbow Warriors tied it at 14-14 in the second quarter before Oregon State went ahead in the second half on Mannion’s two 8-yard touchdown passes to Cooks. Hawaii was coming off a 30-13 loss to USC in its opener.

The Beavers scored on their first drive, a 3-yard pass from Mannion to Kellen Clute. The play was set up when Mannion tossed to Storm Woods, who broke downfield for a 48-yard reception.

The Rainbow Warriors were hurt on the ensuing kickoff when senior linebacker Brenden Daley was injured in a collision and was taken from the field by ambulance. Daley was taken to the hospital with a concussion.

In the opener against Southern California, Daley led Hawaii with 10 tackles, including 4 for loss, 1 sack and 1 fumble.

The Beavers went up 14-0 after Mannion found Richard Mullaney with a 19-yard touchdown pass early in the second quarter, but Oregon State was not without some of the mistakes that cost them the week before against the Eagles. Mannion was intercepte­d by Julian Gener, who ran it back 23 yards for the touchdown to narrow it to 14-7.

In other games involving Pacific-12 teams, freshman quarterbac­k Jared Goff passed for 485 yards and two touchdowns to give Coach Sonny Dykes his first victory at California (1-1) while leading the Golden Bears to a 37-30 victory over Portland State (1-1) in Berkeley, Calif. Goff completed 31 of 58 attempts and was 19 yards shy of breaking the school’s single-game passing record. ... Travis Wilson had two long touchdown runs and threw for three more touchdowns, all in the first half, and Utah (2-0) exploded for a 70-7 victory over Weber

State. The game marked the most points by the Utes since an 82-6 victory over Texas-El Paso in 1973. Wilson, a sophomore, completed 14 of 19 passes for 264 yards and added 93 yards on just three carries.
