Penn State Wins Sloppy Affair

Trailing late in the fourth quarter by a touchdown the Beavers had a chance to tie the ball game up, but Moevao while trying to elude defenders threw his third interception of the game and Penn State would prevail with a 7-0 victory. The crowd saw eight turnovers combined between the two teams and the rain clearly affected both teams.

Moevao's third interception proved to be costly has it cost the Beavers a chance to tie the game late.

Offensively the Beavers did not run the ball enough, 20 carries for only 65 yards. Led by McCants 16 carries for 47 yards and Quizz's 2 carries for 6 yards. McCants squandered a Beavers scoring opportunity after Oregon State forced a turnover their own, when he fumbled on the Beavers 40 yard line. Moevao was 18 for 32 with 176 passing yards, but the three interceptions really hurt his offense.

Oregon State's defense played well enough to win the game allowing only 7 points which game in the second quarter on a 12 yard TD pass. Keaton Kristick was lost for the season with a broken collarbone. Victor Butler continued his dominant play with two more sacks. Oregon State forced four Penn State interceptions and held the Nittany Lions to only 50 rushing yards and 266 yards of total offense.

Beavers got after the Nittany Lions defensively holding them to 266 yards of total offense.

So you just simmed and watched, or read the box score?

This is pretty cool really. I haven’t gotten 09 yet… it worth the step up from 08?

Definitely, but make sure you have the ability to connect online to get a couple patch updates to fix some gameplay issues. Wow only one comment considering this took a good 90 minutes from the game to the write up

What features are worth it?

Campus Legend’s all the same… improved anything about Dynasty mode or anything? I want something sizable in improvement.

Improved admin stuff...

Not a big leap, but here is a point-by-point list.

The recruitment process in dynasty got a few more tools.

The screens load faster.

With an internet connection, you can get an ESPN audio feed.

The thing that is the best is that you can upload and download rosters from other people.

I hear a lot of people praise the online dynasty, but I haven’t touched it.

Campus Legend is just as easy as it was previously. Maybe even easier.
- Unrealistic to make a guy, be the 5th string in something, and after two weeks of practice, become the starter as a freshman.

Go Duckies!

I like the recruiting more than anything in all my NCAA games

I hope I’m not sounding too grubbery, but I’d like to know what has developed in that mode. Thanks Joe.

ESPN audio feed? What do you mean?

Campus Legend easier = for better or for worse?

Excellent stuff

This is exactly why I want this game. Too bad I’m a poor college student. I love the in-game shots. Pleasing to the eyes. How does that work? Is it like Forza 2 where you take a picture and it uploads to the developer’s website and you pull it from there?
