San Diego State suffers disastrous first half as Oregon State builds 38-7 lead

But they didn’t appear to be ready for the all-out attack the Beavers put on in scoring touchdowns on their first five possessions en route to a 38-7 halftime lead.

The Aztecs had few answers for the Beavers’ explosive offense led by quarterback Braden Atkinson, who threw for 246 yards and three touchdowns.

The Aztecs, meanwhile, didn’t cross midfield until their sixth possession, which Jayden Denegal capped with an 11-yard touchdown pass to Jacob Bostick.

Atkinson threw touchdown passes to three different receivers, including an 11-yarder to freshman star Jesse Legree, who was wide open coming out of the backfield on the first play of the second quarter to give the Beavers a 21-0 lead.

SDSU finally stopped the Beavers on their sixth drive, when they broke up a pass in the end zone to force a field goal, which the Beavers missed.
