Oregon State Grinds It Out Over Maryland

Rainy conditions during the Emerald Bowl in San Francisco dictated that the offenses stay grounded tonight, and that was fine with Oregon State, the nation's No. 2 team in rush defense. The Beavers completely dominated the running game, outrushing Maryland 275-19, including 177 yards on 38 carries from Yvenson Bernard in his final college game, reports the AP. 

Bernard finished No. 6 in rushing all-time in Pac-10 history. The Terps were held to 60 yards of total offense in the final three quarters after two 80-yard drives early on. The game, played at the home of baseball's San Francisco Giants, had some quirks, including a malfunctioning play clock and, as in previous years at that locale, both teams having to stand on the same sideline.
