(Sports Network) - Jacquizz Rodgers carried the ball 23 times for 168 yards and a touchdown to lead the Oregon State Beavers to a 66-13 shellacking of the Washington State Cougars in a Pac-10 Conference showdown at Reser Stadium.

Rodgers was one of five OSU (3-3, 2-1 Pac10) players to score rushing touchdowns as James Rodgers, Ryan McCants, Jeremy Francis and quarterback Lyle Moevao each scored on the ground. Moevao struggled through the air connecting on 12-of-24 pass attempts for 186 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions.

Sammie Stroughter was Moevao's favorite target, hauling in six passes for 116- yards and a score.

WSU (1-6, 0-4) was paced by Chantz Staden, who tallied 47-yards and a touchdown on 17 carries.

OSU jumped on the Cougars early in the first quarter, when Moevao and Stroughter hooked up for a 30-yard score.

The Beavers extended their lead to 14-0 just minutes later, when Moevao connected with Shane Morales from 20 yards out for the score.

Rodgers made it a three-touchdown lead in the final minute of the first quarter, when he plunged his way forward for a three-yard score.

WSU finally got on the board late in the second quarter, when Staden powered his way into the end zone from one yard out.

The Cougars made it a 21-13 game less than a minute later, when Louis Bland stepped in front of a Moevao pass and returned it 16 yards for the score.

OSU responded in the closing seconds of the first half, when Justin Kahut drilled a 28-yard field goal to give the Beavers a 24-13 lead at the break.

The second half belonged to the Beavers, who rattled off 42 unanswered points.

Moevao kicked things off with a one-yard touchdown plunge in the opening minutes of the third quarter. James Rodgers then made it a 31-13 football game when he ripped off a 17-yard touchdown run. McCants finished off the third quarter scoring with a three-yard touchdown run.

The OSU defense began the fourth quarter with a blocked punt that was recovered by Damola Adeniji in the end zone for a touchdown. Francis made it a 59-13 game early in the fourth quarter with a five-yard touchdown scamper.

Adeniji capped off the blowout victory with a 39-yard touchdown catch, delivered by back-up quarterback Sean Canfield, giving OSU the 66-13 win.

The Beavers were dominant on the offensive side of the ball tallying 548 total yards, while setting a new school record for points in a conference game.
