SAN JOSE — DJ Uiagalelei rested easy on Saturday night in the team hotel.

No nerves on the eve of the first game.

No doubts.

“I slept good, man” he told me.

The Oregon State quarterback accounted for five touchdowns — two running and three passing on Sunday. He’d be the first to tell you he missed a couple of throws. But the kid who arrived with broken confidence turned in the most complete performance by a Beavers quarterback in some time.

OSU beat San Jose State 42-17.

Do you know what I was most impressed with?
