Beavers Shock Sun Devils, Snap Four-Game Losing Streak; ASU Effectively Out Of National Title Picture

At Corvallis, Oregon:

Quarterback Sean Mannion threw for 251 yards and two touchdowns (including a 66-yarder to Jordan Villamin for the go-ahead score with 10:55 remaining) as the Oregon State Beavers (5-5 overall, 2-5 in Pac-12 play) came from behind Saturday night and upended the visiting Arizona State Sun Devils (#6 in the College Football Playoff rankings, #7 in the Associated Press poll, #8 in the USA Today/Coaches poll;  8-2, 5-2) 35-27, snapping their four game losing streak (and keeping their hopes of gaining bowl eligibility alive) while crippling the visitors' hopes of gaining a berth in the College Football Playoff tournament.  Michael Doctor ran back an interception 35 yards for a TD with 98 seconds remaining to seal the Beavers' victory.
