CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Keller Chryst threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to JJ Arcega-Whiteside with 20 seconds left and No. 20 Stanford survived Bryce Love's absence for a 15-14 come-from-behind victory over Oregon State on Thursday night.
Stanford went for it on fourth-and-10 on the Oregon State 40 with 2:19 left in the game and Chryst hit Kaden Smith with a 25-yard pass to keep the drive alive. After Chryst found Arcega-Whiteside in the end zone, the 2-point conversion failed but Stanford intercepted Oregon State quarterback Darell Garretson's hurl with 3 seconds left to end it.
The Cardinal is facing a challenging stretch, on the road at No. 15 Washington State next week, followed by No. 12 Washington at home.
The leading rusher for Stanford in Love's place was Cameron Scarlett, who grew up in Portland, Oregon, and went to Central Catholic High School -- the same school as Oregon State running back Ryan Nall. Scarlett finished with 72 yards rushing.
Chryst completed 16 of 33 passes for 141 yards with the final touchdown and the interception.
