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 to beat Oregon State 42-37.
Lewis was 5-of-12 passing for 51 yards but added 151 yards rushing on nine carries and Red finished 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 trimmed 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 to go in the fourth quarter to give the Wolfpack a four-point lead. Crawfowd’s pick-6 made it 35-24 less than 3 minutes later. Anthony Hankerson ran it in from the 1 and, after the 2-point conversion failed, Oregon State trailed by five with 6:59 to play.
On first-and-15 from the Beavers 33, Lewis pulled the handoff on a jet sweep and raced up the middle for a touchdown that made it 42-30 with 4 minutes remaining but Oregon State again responded, this time with a 3-yard touchdown pass from McCoy to Trent Walker that capped the scoring with 1:57 left.
