Taylor Meeks teamed with Jack to win via decision and major decision at 197 pounds and heavyweight, respectively, to pull the Beavers out from a five-point deficit to a two-point win. Meeks was a 6-0 winner over Brent Chriswell which was followed by Jack's 15-5 major decision over J.T. Felix.
The win was Oregon State's eighth of the season as it improved to 8-2. It also marked the Beavers' first season sweep of Boise State since 1999.
Pat Rollins opened the dual with a 12-2 major decision over Landon Hartley at 125 pounds for the redshirt freshman's 22nd win of the season.
That 4-0 lead was pushed to 4-3 when Shawn Jones defeated James Roberts, 4-2, at 133 pounds.
The Beavers, however, jumped out to an 11-3 advantage on the strength of a Mangrum major decision over Josh Strait at 141, 15-4, and Scott Sakaguchi's 4-1 win over Steven Hernandez at 149.
Oregon State lost its next four bouts – three decisions and a major decision – to allow the Broncos to jump out to a 16-14 lead.
The lone bout featuring two ranked wrestlers on the night was a 9-5 win by No. 14 George Ivanov at 157 pounds over the Beavers' RJ Pena.
Joe Latham lost a tight 4-2 decision to Michael Cuthbertson at 165 pounds, which was followed by a 14-6 major decision by Scott Bacon over Cody Weishoff at 174 pounds.
Boise State's last win of the night was Jake Swartz's 4-0 decision over Ty Vinson at 184.
