Oregon State Notables

- The game features the nation's No. 7 ranked scoring offense (USC at 50.7 points per game) and No. 13 (Oregon State at 45.7 PPG).
- The Beavers are coming off a 68-point effort against Montana State, tied for the sixth-best single-game mark in program history.
- Oregon State has won seven straight games at Reser Stadium.

Last Meeting
- Oregon State won its first game at USC in more than 60 years with a 45-27 victory over the Trojans in 2021. 
- B.J. Baylor ran for 158 yards and Tyjon Lindsey caught five passes for 102 yards in the win.
- OSU took a 24-17 lead into halftime, and broke the game open with 14 third-quarter points thanks to touchdowns by Lindsey and Jack Colletto, who ended the day with two scores after posting another early in the fourth.

Looking Back At Win No. 3
- Oregon State reached the 60-point plateau for the first time since 2012 when the Beavers scored a school-record 77 points against Nicholls State. OSU also scored 62 against California that season.
- The Beavers scored 34 points in both the first and second halves. The 34 points are the most in a half since OSU scored 35 in the first half in 2019 against Arizona.
- Tre'Shaun Harrison posted a career-best 133 yards receiving on eight receptions. He's the first Beaver to eclipse 100 yards since Trevon Bradford versus California on Oct. 30, 2021.
- Chance Nolan was 19-of-25 passing for a 76 percent completion percentage. That tied his single-game best.
- Anthony Gould caught two touchdown passes and returned a punt 80 yards for a score. He became the first Beaver to catch a touchdown pass and return for a punt for TD in the same game since Damola Adeniji on Oct. 11, 2008 versus Washington State.
- Gould is the first FBS player to accomplish the feat this season. Only seven did it in all of 2021.
- He's the first Pac-12 player with two TD receptions and a punt return TD in the same game since Dante Pettis (Washington) on Sept. 16, 2017 versus Fresno State.
- Gould totaled 104 punt-return yards, just shy of the OSU school record of 121 set by Larry Rich on Sept. 21, 1968 at Iowa.
- OSU held Montana State to 269 offensive yards - the fourth-fewest under head coach Jonathan Smith. The Bobcats also completed just nine passes, tied for third-fewest.
- The Beavers did not punt in the win for just the third time since 1996. The two other games were Dec. 1, 2012 versus Nicholls State and Oct. 9, 2021 against Washington State.
- Oregon State totaled 31 first downs, tied for the most in a game under head coach Jonathan Smith. The previous two were Nov. 2, 2019 at Arizona and Sept. 25, 2021 at USC.

Beavs, Trojans Undefeated
- Saturday's game marks the first time since the 2000 season that both teams enter the matchup undefeated.
- Oregon State and USC were both 3-0 entering the game on Sept. 30, 2000. The Beavers won that game, 31-21, en route to an 11-1 record and berth in the 2001 Fiesta Bowl.
