Running back Royce Freeman has averaged 5.6 yards per carry and has 1,050 yards with 16 touchdowns.

Oregon State didn't score in the first or fourth quarters of their game against Washington last weekend and ended up suffering a 37-13 blowout loss. They couldn't get their ground game going in that loss, finishing with just 47 rushing yards.

The Beavers have 280.8 passing yards per game this season, but their offense is only averaging 26.3 points per game.
