Jet Toner kicked a 39-yard field goal with one second remaining in regulation, giving Stanford a 31-28 Pac-12 football victory over Oregon State Saturday at Reser Stadium in Corvallis, Ore.
The win extended Stanford’s winning streak over the Beavers to 10 games.
The Beavers came from behind to tie the game at 28-28 on a 1-yard touchdown run by Artavis Pierce with 1:55 remaining in the fourth quarter.
The Cardinal’s Connor Wedington returned the ensuing kickoff 43 yards. Stanford quarterback Davis Mills — starting in place of the injured K.J. Costello — threw for a first down and ran for another on the Cardinal’s final drive, setting up Toner’s game-winning kick.
Mills threw for 245 yards and three touchdowns for Stanford (2-3 overall, 1-2 Pac-12). Costello injured his thumb in the Cardinal’s loss last Saturday to Oregon.
The game was delayed for 15 minutes due to lightning in the Corvallis area. It was the home open for Oregon State (1-3, 0-1). The Beavers had a bye last week, and defeated Cal Poly two weeks ago.
Cameron Scarlett rushed for 92 yards on 24 carries for Stanford, while Wedington caught five passes for 31 yards. Wills threw touchdown passes to Michael Wilson, Colby Parkinson and Brycen Tremayne in the first quarter, and later caught an 8-yard scoring pass from Parkinson at 9:31 of the fourth period.
Pierce ran for 141 yards on 16 attempts and touchdowns of 43 and 1 yards for the Beavers.
Oregon State quarterback Jake Luton completed 27 of 39 passes for 337 yards and a touchdown, and was sacked four times.
Next Saturday, the Cardinal host Washington (4-1). Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m.
