The win was Mike Riley's first road win in the month of September.

Beavers	14	7	0	7	28
Sun Devils	3	0	7	7	17

The Beavers haven't won at Tempe since 1969, a span of 16 games. They will be looking to break the streak as the Beavers face the Sun Devils and former coach, Dennis Erickson. The Beavers got hot early and the Sun Devils were never able to recover. An early miscue by the Sun Devils punter, gave Oregon State the ball on the Arizona State 17. A few plays and Jacquizz Rodgers punched it in. Another stop by the Beavs defense resulted in another punt, this one got off cleanly. A great return by James Rodgers set up a nice 32-yard rush by Quizz for another touchdown. ASU drove down the field and was forced to settle for a short field goal. The Beavers third score came on an amazing 25-yard reception from Canfield to Rodgers. James juggled it for the first nine yards in the endzone, but recovered in time to get his foot in the last yard for the score. Arizona State came out pretty sharp as they scored on their first possession. The Beavs came out and scored on a drive with three huge plays. Most notably a long pass to James Rodgers which set up an easy score from Sean Canfield to Damola Adeniji from the 2. Arizona took too long on their next drive, trailing 28–10. It took them over 6 minutes as they finally scored with :11 seconds left. A Sun Devil failed onside kick gave the Beavers the ball. Canfield took the kneeldown and the Beavs got their first win in Tempe in 40 years.

Stanford shocked the Beavers in the opening game of the season last year. A late OSU rally came up short when WR Darell Catchings fumbles out of the end zone for a touchback while trying to extend for a touchdown. The Cardinal won the game 36–28.

Oregon State jumped to a quick start as Jacquizz Rodgers scored the first three touchdowns in the game, giving the Beavers a 21–0 lead early in the 2nd quarter. Witt the Beavers up by 24 at the half, Stanford had to focus on moving the ball quickly with the passing game, which took running back Toby Gerhart out of the spotlight. The Beavers won 38–28.

In 2008, the #1 Trojans came to Corvallis and were upset 27–21. It was the second straight trip to Corvallis for USC that resulted in defeat. JacQuizz Rodgers ran for 187 yards on 37 carries and two touchdowns in the win. Oregon State is the second Pac-10 Conference school to have beaten USC twice during the Pete Carroll era, having done so in 2006 and 2008 (Stanford was first with victories in 2001 and 2007 and would do so again later in the 2009 season).

The last time Oregon State won against USC in the Coliseum was when Dwight D. Eisenhower was the President of the United States.

USC quarterback Matt Barkley passed to Anthony McCoy for an 8-yard touchdown to give the Trojans the early lead in the first quarter. The Beavers got on the scoreboard with two field goal kicks from Justin Kahut (both 48 yards). In the second quarter, Matt Barkley completed a pass to Ronald Johnson for a 22 yards touchdown. On second and goal, Barkley rushed for a 1-yard touchdown for the Trojans. Kahut kicked a 33-yard field goal for Oregon State just before the half.

In the third quarter, Sean Canfield passed to Jacquizz Rodgers for a 6-yard touchdown for the Beavers on a 3:06-drive that took 8 plays for 61 yards. The Trojans countered with a 7-play drive for 70 yards with Allen Bradford rushing for 2 yards for a touchdown. Canfield narrowed Oregon State's gap by completing a 15-yard scoring pass to Damola Adeniji. USC answered with Allen Bradford scoring a 43-yard touchdown.

Oregon State became the first team to score more than 10 points on the Trojans in their last ten home games (though Stanford and Arizona would both do so in their victories over USC in the Coliseum later in the season, with 55 points and 21 points, respectively).

Justin Kahut kicked two field goals, 48 yards and 42 yards, to give the Beavers a 6-point lead. Oregon State increased its lead to 13 when Jacquizz Rodgers passed to Brady Camp for a 14-yard touchdown. Kahut's third field goal gave the Beavers a 16–0 lead at the half.

In the third quarter, Kai Forbath kicked a 24-yard field goal for the Bruins. Kahut kicked his fourth field goal (31 yards) in the fourth quarter to give the Beavers a 19–3 lead. A 58-yard pass to Nelson Rosario from Kevin Prince, combined with a 2-point conversion to Rosario, put UCLA back in the game, behind by only 8 points. Then Taylor Embree caught a touchdown pass from Prince and Johnathan Franklin caught a conversion pass to tie the game for the Bruins with 2 minutes left. But James Rodgers ran into the end zone for an Oregon State touchdown on a drive of 7 plays and 70 yards. UCLA took over the ball with 44 seconds remaining in the game and failed to make a complete comeback, losing their fifth game in a row.

Oregon crushed the Rose Bowl dreams of Oregon State last year in its 65–38 drubbing of the Beavers in Reser Stadium. This year the "Civil War" game will determine the Pac-10 representative to the 2010 Rose Bowl. Oregon State won the last meeting in Autzen, 38–31 in overtime. This is the first time in the series' 112–year history that the winner gets an automatic bid to the Rose Bowl. Oregon is the heavy favorite to win the game.

For the second straight season the Oregon Ducks denied the Oregon State Beavers a trip to Pasadena to play in the Rose Bowl. This year, however, with the win the Ducks go to the Rose Bowl to play the Ohio State Buckeyes. This Civil War was a see saw battle that was exciting from the opening kick-off. LaMichael James ran for 166 yards on 25 carries that included 3 touchdowns. Jacquizz Rodgers had 64 yards rushing and 73 yards receiving and a touchdown as the two featured backs didn't disappoint. LeGarrette Blount made his return from suspension in the 3rd Quarter sparking the Ducks offense. He finished with 51 yards on 9 carries and a touchdown. The turning point in the game was a critical decision when Mike Riley opted to go for it on 4th and 15 from the Ducks 27-yard line. The pass was incomplete and the Ducks took over. The Ducks ran out the remainder of the clock after converting 2 4th down plays on the drive sealing their ticket to Pasadena. The Beavers fell all the way to the Las Vegas Bowl to play BYU.
