Drive Success
- Oregon State has scored on 29 of its 63 drives that have not been ended by the first or second half this season. That amounts to a 46.0 percent success rate.
- That's an improvement over the 2018 Beavers who scored on 30 of their 74 completed drives (40.5 percent). And it's a significant improvement over the 2017 Beavers who scored on 17-of-74 for a 22.9 percent success rate.
- The 2019 Beavers have punted 21 times through the first six games. That compares to 29 punts a year ago and 32 in 2017.
