Where can fans find the score and game updates?

Start with the Oregon State game center. It identifies the teams, displays the score by quarter and links to the full box score. Its team statistics also make it easy to compare rushing, passing, third-down performance and possession time in one place.

Search snippets and scoreboard pages can update at different speeds, so an older in-game score may still appear in search results after the game has ended.

To reconstruct a particular scoring drive, open a play-by-play feed and look for the quarter and game clock. The score tells you the result; the drive log shows what happened between scoring plays, including punts, turnovers, penalties and reviews. A play initially ruled a touchdown can be changed on review, so the settled box score is a better reference than an isolated alert.
