Oregon State Achieves the Inexplicable, Losing to Previously Winless Sam Houston State

Sam Houston State won their first game under coach Phil Longo since 2005, ending an eight-game losing streak and avoiding an 0-9 start for the first time.

  • Sam Houston State Bearkats defeated Oregon State 21-17 at Reser Stadium, ending an eight-game losing streak and earning first-year coach Phil Longo his first victory since Nov. 12, 2005.
  • Oregon State rode Anthony Hankerson's heavy workload, with 3 carries for 166 yards and two scores, as his 13-yard touchdown extended the lead to 17-0 midway through the second quarter.
  • Special teams produced two second-half touchdowns—a 98-yard kickoff return by Tim Burns Jr. and a blocked punt returned 31 yards by Brody Henderson to take a 21-17 lead with 8:29 to play.
  • Despite only eight first downs and 157 total yards, Sam Houston State Bearkats won while Oregon State Beavers outgained them by more than 300 yards and lost their since 1996 historical record holding opponents under 200 yards.
  • The Beavers had been on a two-game winning streak before the loss, and Oregon State now travels to face Tulsa .
