STANFORD, Calif. -- With a young quarterback making his second career start, Stanford coach David Shaw was fully comfortable having his team run the ball on its final 29 plays from scrimmage.With a backfield tandem of 2015 Heisman Trophy finalist Christian McCaffrey and promising sophomore Bryce Love, Shaws decision was really a no-brainer.McCaffrey rushed for 199 yards and a touchdown, Love scored on a 56-yard touchdown run and Stanford beat Oregon State 26-15 on Saturday afternoon.Conrad Ukropina kicked a career-high four field goals, including a personal best-tying 52-yarder in the first half, to help the Cardinal (6-3, 4-3 Pac-12) become bowl eligible.We were running the ball for six yards a clip, theyre getting a little bit tired and weve got two running backs we can rotate through there, Shaw said of his decision to keep the ball on the ground over the final 20 minutes. When youve got an offensive line thats feeling good and creating creases, and two running backs that are getting better and better, (with) a two-score lead . why put it up in the air? Lets ground this thing and lets end the game.Stanford sputtered offensively much of the day and had to overcome three fumbled snaps by quarterback Keller Chryst but held on to win its seventh straight against Oregon State (2-7, 1-5).The Cardinal did it behind another strong outing by its defense, which intercepted Beavers quarterback Marcus McMaryion twice in the second half.More importantly, Stanford piled up 365 yards rushing and controlled the ball for more than 39 minutes.It went well but I go as the O-line goes and they did a fantastic job today, McCaffrey said. Still, at the end of the day we have a lot of things we have to work on. We have to finish the ball in the end zone. Too many field goals.McCaffrey, whose 51-yard run in the first half helped set up Ukropinas second field goal, scored on a one-yard run in the third quarter. The 2015 Heisman Trophy finalist was also stopped on a 4th-and-1 plunge late in the fourth quarter.Its the 16th 100-yard game for McCaffrey since the start of the 2015 season.Love, a sophomore who filled in when McCaffrey was injured earlier this season, finished with 89 yards on nine carries.If theres nobody between him and the goal line youre not going to catch him, Shaw said of Love.Stanfords ground game was key on a day Chryst was more effective running the ball than throwing it in his second career start. Chryst completed 10 of 17 passes for 60 yards but rushed for 83 including a 44-yard keeper that set up McCaffreys touchdown.The win puts Stanford in line for a bowl bid. The Cardinal have played in the Rose Bowl three of the past four years but arent in the running for the Pac-12 title this time around despite going into the season as favorites.Ryan Nall rushed for 77 yards on 10 carries for Oregon State. The Beavers have lost four straight and six of seven.McMaryion passed for one touchdown and ran for another but completed only 10 of 24 attempts for 137 yards.Credit Stanfords defense, McMaryion said. Its real simple. They line up and come at you. They did well in man coverage. We have to execute better.I can help the offense more, show my athleticism in the run aspect of the game.THE TAKEAWAYOregon State: Nall had another solid afternoon running the ball but not much else went right for the Beavers. The offense failed to generate a single first down on four drives and committed a pair of turnovers. That was simply too much to overcome for coach Gary Andersens team.Stanford: Its been a rough season for Shaw and his staff but theyre still headed for the postseason and thats a positive. Even without much production from the passing game this was an easier-than-it-looked win for the Cardinal. McCaffrey and Love gave the offense a much-needed boost but it was the defense again that made the difference.UP NEXTOregon State: The Beavers finally catch a break in the schedule with their Nov. 12 trip to UCLA. The Bruins have dropped four straight this season but beat Oregon State 41-0 in Corvalis a year ago.Stanford: The Cardinal travel to Eugene to face the Oregon Ducks on Nov. 12 in a meeting between two former Pac-12 champions who have fallen on rough times. Stanford has lost 11 of the previous 14 games against Oregon, including last years 38-36 loss.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.org Wes Unseld Jersey .

SAN DIEGO -- Chargers?coach Mike McCoy confirmed that wide receiver Keenan Allen?has suffered an ACL tear in his right knee and is done for the year after the team received results from an MRI on Monday.The Chargers will place Allen on injured reserve and use his vacant roster spot to activate rookie defensive end Joey Bosa from the exempt list.According to ESPNs Adam Schefter, Allen also suffered some minor cartilage damage in addition to the ACL tear.Allen also finished last season on the injured reserve list after suffering a lacerated kidney in a Week 8 contest against the Baltimore Ravens.Allen, 24, suffered the knee injury with just over two minutes left in the second quarter of the Chargers 33-27 overtime loss. His right knee appeared to buckle as he came out of a break, and he fell to the ground. Teammates gave Allen a hug as he was carted off.The Chargers will look to receivers already on the roster like Travis Benjamin, Dontrelle Inman and Tyrell Williams to help replace the production lost by Allens absence.San Diego also could bring in an experienced veteran like James Jones into the fold. Jones was with the Chargers during traiining camp, but he was cut in San Diegos effort to get down to 75 players.ddddddddddddBosa is hopeful to practice in pads this week for the first time since signing his rookie contract two weeks ago, after remaining unsigned for over a month due to a contract stalemate over offset language and the earlier payment of deferred signing bonus money.Bosa practiced just once the day after he signed his deal in a helmet, jersey and shorts before suffering a minor hamstring injury.McCoy reiterated that he will not provide a time table for Bosas first game with the rest of his teammates.Joey is day-to-day, McCoy said. I cant tell you if its going to be Wednesday or Thursday -- I dont know that right now.Hes working with trainers today [Monday], and hell be working with them tomorrow. Hes got to do certain things to get on the field. And weve also got to be smart with it so weve got him for the long haul.We got to make sure we do it the right way, so when hes out there he can help our team and play 60 minutes of football. ' ' '
