Savion Red runs for 4 touchdowns as Nevada has a wild 42-37 win over Oregon State

RENO, Nev. (AP) — Savion Red ran for four touchdowns Saturday night, Kitan Crawford returned an interception 57 yards for a touchdown and quarterback Brendon Lewis ran for a 67-yard TD as part of a wild fourth quarter and Nevada held on firmly defeated Oregon State 42-37.

Lewis was 5 of 12 passing for 51 yards but added 151 yards on nine carries, and Red finished the game with 23 carries for 137 yards. Red scored on runs of 33 and 5 yards in the first half, and his 7-yard TD run with about 6 minutes left in the third quarter cut Nevada's deficit to 24-21.

Michael Coats Jr. intercepted a pass from Gevani McCoy before Red scored on a 6-yard run with 13:37 left in the fourth quarter to give the Wolfpack a four-point lead. Crawfowd's pick-6 made it 35-24 less than three minutes later. Anthony Hankerson started the game from the first minute, and after the 2-point conversion failed, Oregon State trailed by five points with 6:59 to play.

On first-and-15 from the Beavers 33, Lewis hit a jet sweep to get the handoff and raced up the middle for a touchdown that made the score 42-30 with 4 minutes left, but Oregon State responded again, this time with one McCoy's 3-yard touchdown pass to Trent Walker capped the score with 1:57 left.

Nevada (3-4) took the lead with a three-pointer on the ensuing possession, and the Beavers got well past midfield before Coats intercepted McCoy's pass in the end zone to seal it.

Hankerson finished the game with 28 carries for 154 yards rushing and three touchdowns for Oregon State (4-2). McCoy was 27 of 42 passing for 348 yards and a touchdown but threw four interceptions.
