WAC & UH OPPONENTS


Boise State falls to 0-2
after blowing a lead
at Oregon State

CORVALLIS, Ore. » The Oregon State Beavers have their revenge. The Boise State Broncos have their work to do.

Alexis Serna kicked a 29-yard field goal with 1:03 to go and Oregon State came from behind to beat Boise State 30-27 under stormy skies yesterday.

The Broncos (0-2) had a 24-14 lead early in the second half, but the Beavers (2-0) evened it at 27-all early in the fourth quarter when Mike Hass caught a 22-yard scoring pass from Matt Moore.

Serna's third field goal of the day proved to be the winner when the Broncos could not get anything going in the final minute. Boise State, which was ranked in preseason polls, lost its opener to Georgia.

"They had us on our heels big-time, but the big plays going their way started going our way," Oregon State coach Mike Riley said. "It really was a great lesson in perseverance."
