Oregon State didn't exactly follow the upset script here. The Beavers merely broke even in terms of field position and finishing drives, and they lost the turnover battle. Luckily, they were simply better from an offense vs. defense standpoint. Sean Mannion gained nearly as many passing yards as Taylor Kelly in 11 fewer attempts, and my goodness, did OSU's running backs come up big in the big-play department -- Terron Ward and Storm Woods combined for 273 yards on 30 carries and gained 179 yards on three specific carries. And now ASU has gone from Pac-12 South favorite to one of many candidates in a slog.
