While Card and Purdue's passing game sputtered, Oregon State quarterback Gevani McCoy steadily moved the chains. He mixed well-time scrambles and option looks to rush for 66 yards, but also showed he could sling it in the two-minute drill to close the first half.

To start Trent Bray's first season as head coach, the Oregon State Beavers are 3-1 following a 38-21 win over a Big Ten opponent in the Purdue Boilermakers. It's an encouraging start for a team who found their identity in the running game over the first 25% of the regular season.

Oregon State 24, Purdue 14: The Beavers' defense is much better suited for success against Purdue than it was against pass-happy Oregon last week. Gevani McCoy and OSU's offense showed signs of progress against the Ducks and could be due for a breakout performance. (Jarrid Denney)
