Damien Martinez rushed for 178 yards and three touchdowns and Ben Gulbranson was 14-for-22 passing for 202 yards and two scores as Oregon State beat Colorado 42-9 in Corvallis, Ore., on Saturday night.

Silas Bolden and Jack Velling each caught a touchdown pass for Oregon State (6-2, 3-2 Pac-12 Conference).

Jayle Sacks rushed for 50 yards and a touchdown and J.T. Shrout was 13-for-29 passing for 206 yards with two interceptions for the Buffaloes (1-6, 1-3).

The Beavers built an early lead they never relinquished. After fumbling on their first drive, they recovered a Colorado fumble near midfield. Oregon State used nine plays to go 40 yards, capped by a four-yard TD run by Martinez with 8:09 left in the first.

The Beavers forced a punt on the ensuing Buffaloes possession, covered 82 yards on 11 plays and went ahead 14-0 when Gulbranson hit Bolden with a 16-yard touchdown pass with 13:30 left in the half.

Cole Becker kicked a 44-yard field goal to put Colorado on the board, but Martinez ran it in from three yards out to give Oregon State a 21-3 halftime lead.

The Beavers got the kickoff to start the third quarter and wasted little time in extending their lead. Three plays put them on their own 40 before Gulbranson hit Velling with a 60-yard TD pass to make it 28-3.

Oregon State added to the lead on the next snap from scrimmage when Alex Austin intercepted Shrout and returned it 40 yards for touchdown just 11 seconds after Velling’s TD.

The teams traded punts before the Buffaloes put together their best drive (80 yards in nine plays), aided by two pass interference penalties on the Beavers. The second gave Colorado the ball at the Oregon State 2, and Stacks ran it in two plays later to make it 35-9.

Oregon State responded with an 87-yard drive, with Martinez rushing for 77 of the yards and running it in from four yards out with 7:38 left.
