OSU vs. UA Second Half Open Thread

A brief history lesson: On November 8, 2008, the Oregon State Beavers found themselves tied with the UCLA Bruins 3-3 at halftime, in the Rose Bowl. During the first half of play, Building the Dam experienced a high number of comments (350) in the open thread. Noticing the influx of comments and hoping to avoid open-thread lag, Jake opened up a second half open thread. The Beavers went on to outscore the Bruins 31-3 in the second half, beating UCLA 34-6.

Let's repeat history, fellas. 

No Quizz. No Lyle. (Remember, Lyle didn't play against UCLA...)

We can still do this.

2/3 of our game has been great so far. O looks ready to break out.

McCants sure is an eager beaver there.

Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.

Alright time's up lez do this...

Its James Rodgers time!!

more fly sweeps!! and maybe a reverse to Sammie

Woof

Oh snap!

great minds think alike, maybe Riley’s on board too!

Or some Oregon Flea

Flysweep to Rodgers, reverse to Sammie, reverse back to Canfield, hits Rodgers streaking down sideline for 6.

there were 4 people in the pickup that night...

Ben & his girlfriend, a buddy and his girl.

They were stealing the sheep to let it loose inside of someone’s house. Only, it didn’t end that way.

Banker is a second half genius.

I just think someone will step up and win this game.

by Cablinasian on Nov 22, 2008 5:32 PM PST up reply actions  

No doubt.

if that FG had sailed wide, I would be much more worried. I think we still have enough weapons to beat Arizona. How many Pac-10 teams can sport such quality backups at the highest skill positions? Canfield and McCants are nice luxuries.

by Mallardvalue on Nov 22, 2008 5:34 PM PST up reply actions  

I posted the wrong boxscore, by the way.

Now ESPN is having a cow.

Anyone read Canzano’s article about the other younger brother?

--JB--

by Jake Bertalotto on Nov 22, 2008 5:46 PM PST up reply actions  

Michael.

Yeah, Riley is prolly recruiting him through Quizz and Quan already.

by Cablinasian on Nov 22, 2008 5:46 PM PST up reply actions  

Yeah.

I think his rest is purely precautionary. We see him in the Civil War for sure. I bet if the running game tonight stalls out, we see him back in, but with McCants doing his best Brandon Jacobs impression, things are looking good without Jacquizz.

by Mallardvalue on Nov 22, 2008 5:47 PM PST up reply actions  

Ok.

Big drive here. Look for Sammie on the return…

by Cablinasian on Nov 22, 2008 5:50 PM PST reply actions  

McCants stuffed, but still gets two.

I don’t think he was getting those two yards in the first half. That’s what we need.

What's up with the announcers?

Earlier they said Stroughter was dangerous as a kick returner, (when AZ was receiving), now he just said “7 minutes left in the game.”

by sandiegobeav on Nov 22, 2008 5:57 PM PST reply actions  

most likely

Hockey announcers…or they cover the other side of the states and not Pac 10 games. Either that or they are drunk. I put my money on the latter…

BAD offensive drive followed by a bad punt let Zona get back into this game.

dang McCants

we’re not getting the penetration we were getting earlier this half.

Oh jeeze

What the heck was that play call. If you’re gonna do that just punt it away.

by wakka on Nov 22, 2008 6:18 PM PST reply actions  

Worst part is not giving them good field position, it’s the momentum change from a huge stop for them.

Gah, I am throwing up my hands.
