· NCAA - Football
Atkinson and Legree team for big passing day in Oregon State's 56-26 win in Pac-12 opener
Atkinson found Legree down the right sideline for a 50-yarder to open the scoring. Legree turned a short pass into a 28-yard score to make it 38-14 at halftime and his 52-yard run-and-catch made it 56-26 with nine minutes remaining in the game.
Legree finished with 156 yards on five receptions. Legree, who had 240 yards in a 35-24 loss to Texas Tech on Sept. 12, became the third Beaver to reach 100 yards receiving in five straight games, joining Mike Haas (2005) and Brandin Cooks (2013).
Atkinson completed 30 of 34 passes for 413 yards, going over 300 yards for the fifth straight game, trailing only Sean Mannion, who had seven straight for Oregon State in 2013.
Oregon State (3-2, 1-0) outscored Colorado State 42-12 after the Rams had tied it 14 following a Beavers fumble early in the second quarter.
First-year Colorado State coach Jim Mora Jr. replaced defensive coordinator Tyson Summers as playcaller in the first half. After the game, he said Summers left the field after the demotion and was no longer on the team.
“Tyson was relieved of his play-calling duties, he made the decision on his own to leave the field and he is no longer with this football program," Mora told reporters.
K'saan Farrar was 17-of-26 passing for 183 yards with a rushing and passing TD for the Rams (2-3, 0-1). Reginald Vick Jr. had 99 yards receiving.
Colorado State: home against San Jose State on Oct. 12.
