Oregon State 35, No. 8 Arizona State 27: Sean Mannion threw two touchdown passes - both in the second half - and Michael Doctor scored on a 35-yard interception return with 1:38 left as the host Beavers severely damaged the Sun Devils' Pac-12 title hopes.

Mannion was 19-of-33 for 251 yards and an interception while becoming Oregon State's all-time leader in touchdown passes, and Jordan Villamin caught four passes for 127 yards - including a go-ahead 67-yard touchdown - as the Beavers (5-5, 2-5) snapped a four-game slide. Terron Ward rushed for 148 yards and a touchdown, Storm Woods ran for 125 yards and a score, and Victor Bolden added a TD reception for Oregon State.

Taylor Kelly was 22-of-44 for 264 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions for Arizona State (8-2, 5-2 Pac-12), which fell into a three-way for second in the South Division - one-half game behind USC. D.J. Foster totaled 116 yards from scrimmage and scored a touchdown while Jaelen Strong caught nine passes for 103 yards, but could not prevent the Sun Devils from losing their fifth straight game at Reser Stadium while seeing their five-game winning streak come to an end.

Mannion's 20-yard touchdown pass to Bolden trimmed the deficit to 24-21 in the third quarter and his scoring strike to Villamin beat an all-out Arizona State blitz and put the Beavers ahead 28-27 with 10:55 remaining. After Doctor sat back in a zone and picked off Kelly's pass over the middle, the Sun Devils turned it over on downs after Kelly was sacked by D.J. Alexander on fourth-and-2 from the Arizona State 33 with 1:10 left.

Oregon State, which entered the game averaging 108.6 rushing yards - second-worst in the Pac-12, erupted for 183 in the first quarter, with touchdown runs of 78 yards from Woods and 66 by Ward staking the Beavers to a 14-3 lead. The Sun Devils responded with 21 consecutive points when Kelly tossed a pair of TD passes - 17 yards to Foster and 46 to Kody Kohl - and Antonio Longino returned a fumble 36 yards for a touchdown to make it 24-14 at the half.
