LAS VEGAS (AP)—Oregon State kicker Justin Kahut converted a 33-yard field goal with seven seconds left to give the Beavers a 23-21 win over UNLV on Saturday night.

Teammate Jacquizz Rodgers rushed for 166 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries and had 65 receiving yards on 10 receptions. His brother, James, finished with 109 total yards and a receiving touchdown for the Beavers (2-0).

Backup quarterback Mike Clausen rallied UNLV (1-1) with two fourth-quarter touchdown passes which gave the Rebels a 21-20 lead with 4:16 left.

Oregon State, though, answered with a 12-play, 87-yard drive that culminated with Kahut’s game-winning kick. It was redemption for Kahut, who in the first half missed a 47-yarder off the left post and an extra point.

The Beavers built a 20-7 lead on third-quarter touchdowns by the Rodgers brothers and a 1-yard pass from Sean Canfield to Brady Camp with 1:04 left in the second quarter, the only points of the first half.

Canfield was 25-of-31 for 198 yards and two touchdowns.

Phillip Payne caught the last Clausen touchdown pass, a 10-yarder, while Rodelin Anthony had a 13-yard reception with 10:53 remaining. Clausen was 6-of-9 for 58 yards in the quarter and replaced Omar Clayton, who left with a sore knee, to start the fourth quarter.

Clayton threw for 170 yards and a touchdown on 18-of-26 passing.

Rebels receiver Ryan Wolfe had 91 yards on nine receptions.

    It sounds like some of you MWC and Vegas fans are mad at the Beavs because the BCS sucks. It is no secret that the BCS as a system does not work as well as many would like but the Beavers...or even the Pac10 are not to blame.

    The pass intereference call was the right call and I'd admit that even if it went the other way. The guy should have been more aware and had his head in the play.

    Did anyone else hear the announcer compare the Rogers brothers to the Kennedy family?!?!?.. That dude may have been a great player but he is a terrible announcer. I believe he also called a player...Jaquizz I think... "Bombastical" and missed EVERY ref's call that he guessed at. He was painful to listen to.

    I'm a Duck fan who has little love for the Beavers. This being said, the pass interference at the end of the game was the right call. The error goes to that UNLV player who failed to understand the situation and failed to look back and see that the QB was getting mauled. Just cover the receiver. If he catches this miracle throw, he is still 15 yds from a 1st down. Big deal. Just don't get yourself into a position where you can get a major penalty.

    OSU fans... I think the MWC guys r not trying to take anything away from "your team" as such. Your team played a tough game against a tough opponent. These fans understand that Refs make questionable calls and/or mistakes that can change games (especially in the state of OR, according to my OU friends) and they can live w/ that.

    I think their points r being made toward the hoax that is "the BCS"... and the lack of respect & the $$'s that's been with-held from the MWC & non-BCS teams for over a decade now.

    IMHO, I think u should probably just acknowledge your good fortunes,,, to have been included in the BCS, to have won this game... and acknowledge that UNLV and the MWC is worthy of BCS inclusion... or more accurately, acknowledge that the BCS is a farce similar to the great Wizard of OZ.

    I wish both teams a great remainder of the year.

    All you haters...Beaves won the game. A win is a win, and they arent always pretty, and the same can be said for losses. As a Beaver fan, I was certainly far from impressed with our performance, but hey bein' 2-0 looks good going into next weeks game!
    Even teams that finish first and second to go to the BCS campionship game have an ugly one or two along the way. Angry UNLV fan...get over it. You beat yourselves, not the reffs fault, and remember it was on YOUR field with YOUR conference officials...Post number 5, you hit the nail on the head. I agree with ya that the Mountain West deserves an automatic bid, defintately more so than the Big East.

    Rebels had the game won. Questionable PI call near the end of the game on a 3rd & long play.

    Middle of the pack MWC almost beat an upper echelon Pac 10 team.

    Playoffs, anyone?

    BCS system is a joke.

    Thank the refs for that one OSU fans. PI call on an uncatchable duck after the QB got smashed. Game was over and refs gave you a second chance.

    this game tells you how strong the Mountain West Conference is this year... a middle - to bottom of the pack Mountain West School had a 1 Point lead over a team that finished 2nd in the Pac10 Last year ...

    I am not saying that the Pac 10 isn't strong, cause it is clearly better then the Big East .. and very even if not better then the Big 10 ... but the Mountain West Champion deserves an Automatic Bid to the BCS.. if the Big East gets one... why cant the Mountain West..
    I hate how money rules this damn sport

    Pac 10 wins 7 of 9 games today, including road games at schools from the SEC, Big 10, and MWC. Stanford almost pulled out a road win at an ACC school. Only Wazzu failed to impress-even UW broke their losing streak after giving LSU all they wanted. Still, east coasters claim the Pac 10 is weak, etc. They never learn...

    It's "Jacquizz" Rodgers, not "James" that rushed for 166 yards.
