Oregon State Overpowers Aztecs, 21-0 – Oregon State University Athletics

SAN DIEGO – The Oregon State defense held San Diego State in check – at just 179 yards – as they took the road opener by a 21-0 score on Saturday night in Snapdragon Stadium.

Clinging to a 7-0 lead after three quarters, the Beavers (2-0) tripled the lead with a pair of scores in the final frame to put away the Aztecs.

Jam Griffin opened the Beavers’ scoring on the day, dashing into the endzone from 16 yards out on the game’s first drive. Doubling the lead in the fourth quarter, Anthony Hankerson capped a 98-yard drive in the fourth with a 15-yard touchdown sprint. Gabarri Johnson sealed the win with a 21-yard touchdown toss to Bryce Caufield in the fourth’s late stages.

Gevani McCoy went 15-of-25 for 160 yards while Johnson was a perfect 2-for-2, threw for 23 yards and the lone touchdown pass. Griffin paced the rushing attack with 89 yards on 18 tries while Hankerson followed with 71 yards on 16 carries.

The Beaver defense held the Aztecs in control and yielded just seven first downs. SDSU’s seven first downs were among the lowest allowed by a Beaver defense in the last 24 seasons, the eighth time it’s happened since 2000. Aztec running backs were limited to just 72 yards, with just a long rush of 10.

A trio – Thomas Collins, Melvin Jordan IV and Jack Kane – led the Beaver defense with 4.0 stops each while another trio added three each as well. In addition to the stops, Kane forced a fumble and was one of four to register a pass breakup. When the Aztecs threatened to tie the game early in the fourth, Nikko Taylor scooped up a loose ball on the goal line to set up a 98-yard, 8:04 scoring drive.

The Beavers dominated in time of possession (41:07 to 18:53) and had nearly 30 more plays than their hosts, holding a 78-49 advantage.

Oregon State will return to Reser Stadium next week when the Rivalry Series resumes and the Beavers will host Oregon. The nationally-televised kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m. and can be seen on Fox.

Oregon Kids Credit issued to some taxpayers in error: What to know

Oregon Kids Credit issued to some taxpayers in error: What to know

Some Oregonians who filed their taxes early may receive less than they thought as the Oregon Department of Revenue announced approximately 500 taxpayers will have their refund adjusted after receiving the state’s Kids Credit in error.

The agency provided incorrect instructions for tax forms and with tax preparation software partners at the start of the 2026 tax season regarding how to claim the Oregon Kids Credit.

“As a result, a small number of taxpayers who are not eligible for the Oregon Kids Credit calculated and claimed the Oregon Kids Credit on their returns,” the Department of Revenue said in a release. “An additional small number of taxpayers who are eligible to claim the Oregon Kids Credit claimed too large of a credit.”

Here’s what to know about the error and how it’s being corrected.

How many 2025 tax returns were impacted by the error?

Since the 2026 tax season opened on Jan. 26, the agency said it has processed about 135,000 returns, and the new federal deductions impacted fewer than 500 of those returns, according to the agency.

While the department expects that number to grow as the correction is updated across all filing systems, the agency anticipates that the total number of affected returns will remain low.

“Our IT team will work through the weekend to update our systems to make sure taxpayers don’t face delays because of this error,” DOR Chief Information Officer Jon Dolan said. “We expect Direct File Oregon to be accurately filing returns for Oregon Kids’ Credit claimants by early next week.”

The department recommends that taxpayers who plan to try to claim the Oregon Kids Credit wait to file until Direct File Oregon, or the tax filing software they use, has been fully updated.

What happens to Oregonians who may have received the tax credit in error?

The Department of Revenue is automatically adjusting any returns affected by the error.

Any Oregon taxpayer who may have received the Kids Credit or too large of a credit as a result of the error does not need to take any action. They will be notified of the adjustment by mail, as well as through their Revenue Online account.

“We will make the correction to their return, but we also want to manage taxpayers’ expectations,” Department of Revenue Director David Gerstenfeld said. “Unfortunately, their refund may be less than they anticipated. We know that a difference of even $100 can be very impactful for low-income families with young children, and we sincerely apologize for the error.”

How can Oregonians correctly claim the Oregon Kids’ Credit?

Oregon taxpayers claiming the Oregon Kids Credit are now offered a new form of assistance by the Oregon Department of Revenue to ensure they claim the correct credit amount when they electronically file their tax year 2025 return.

What is the Oregon Kids’ Credit?

The Oregon Kids Credit is a refundable credit for low-income families with young dependent children.

The full credit offers $1,050 per child, up to five children, on a modified adjusted gross income of $26,550 or less. A partial credit is also available for families with a modified adjusted gross income of up to $31,550.

What was the error?

To qualify for the Kids Credit, Oregonians must meet the requirements for their modified adjusted gross income.

The error stemmed from how new federal deductions created under House Resolution 1, known as the One Big Beautiful Bill, for overtime pay, tips, and new car loan interest are calculated when determining Oregon taxpayers’ modified adjusted gross income.

According to the agency, the federal legislation made major changes to tax law that were quickly incorporated into Department of Revenue forms, instructions and processes. Incorrect instructions were provided on forms for the federal deductions, creating an error in calculating the modified adjusted gross income.

Where can Oregonians go if they have questions about the Kids Credit?

For any questions regarding the Oregon Kids’ Credit, Oregonians can visit the department’s website at www.oregon.gov/dor/programs/individuals/Pages/okc-faq.aspx.

Taxpayers can also call 503-947-0350 or email questions.dor@dor.oregon.gov.

Oregon secretary of state sets deadlines to get transportation referendum on May ballot

SALEM, Ore. (KATU) — The Secretary of State’s Office has outlined the steps needed if Oregon lawmakers want the transportation funding referendum to be on the May ballot.

In a memo to lawmakers, the Secretary of State’s Office says if lawmakers pass a bill with an emergency clause to put the referendum up for vote, the governor needs to sign it by Feb. 25. After that, March 12 is the deadline for ballot title, financial estimates, the explanation of the measure, and arguments for and against it to be filed with the secretary of state.

Voting day is May 19.

ODOT outlines potential job cuts to tackle a $242M budget gap amid funding uncertainty

The legislative session opens Monday, Feb. 2, meaning lawmakers will need to move fast.

“We wanted them to have a clear understanding of what’s necessary for us and for our partners across the state, county elections offices to run a good election when the Legislature decides that they want that to happen,” Secretary of State Tobias Read said.

Leaders of the referendum originally intended for it to be voted on the November ballot. Their supporters are pushing back against a May vote. They are concerned about a lower voter turnout.

Democrats say they want to move the vote up so they can get clarity sooner on next steps needed to fund transportation.
