HALFTIME: OREGON STATE 35, MONTANA 3
- Montana kneels.
- Gain over the middle to Aeryn Hampton wiped out by holding on Jacob Anderson. Montana timeout (1:26). Third-and-13 conversion to Hampton with ease over the middle. Another two to Hampton moves OSU to the Montana 34. Oregon State time (0:15) before third-and-five from the 17. Completion to Hampton initially ruled a touchdown, overturned to down inside the 1. Braden Atkinson 1-yard touchdown. Oregon State 35, Montana 3 – 0:07
- Eli Gillman churns out 35 yards on four carries. Two-minute timeout before second-and-seven at OSU 34. Takari Hickle sack on third down takes Montana out of field goal range. Oregon State timeout (1:48). Punt to OSU 15.
- Will Larkins at right tackle for Teko Shoats. Would’ve been a three-and-out, defensive holding gives OSU a fresh set of downs. Fourth-and-one conversion with six offensive linemen. Braden Atkinson to DeCorion Temple for an 11-yard touchdown out of an unbalanced formation. Oregon State 28, Montana 3 – 5:17

Beavers drive to Montana 27. Direct snap to AJ Newberry with a handoff to Braden Atkinson, who hands off to Aaron Butler on an unusual play. Braden Atkinson buys time and connects with Jesse Legree for 23-yard touchdown. Oregon State 21, Montana 3 – 8:42
- OSU gets a third-and-five and Logan Knapp jumps offsides. Holding penalty wipes out what would have been close to a first down run with a missed tackle by TJ Crandall. Third-and-22 tunnel screen goes nowhere. Jo Silver 39-yard field goal is good. Oregon State 14, Montana 3 – 11:55

- A penalty moves Montana to the 36. Grizz with two conversions on second-and-eight. On third-and-five from OSU’s 34, an overthrow on a would-be touchdown. Grizz go for it and have another would-be touchdown missed on a drop by Brooks Davis. Blake Thompson in coverage on both plays.
