Second Half Open Thread: OSU vs. USC

in Oregon State Football
Email
PrintJust like in the Arizona game, the Beavers are getting field goals when they need touchdowns, and a couple of key mistakes have turned the tide in this game. At Halftime, our score is USC 3-TD's, OSU 3-FG's.
After USC struck first on Matt Barkley's floating pass to Anthony McCoy... but all that came after James Rodgers was stripped on the first play of Oregon State's second possession.
A pair of Justin Kahut 48-yard field goals put the Beavers within one at 7-6, with the second field goal coming a few plays after a James Dockery interception.
USC scored early in the second quarter on a 22-yard pass from Barkley to Johnson. Oregon State then countered with a drive that took them all the way down to the 4-yard line... but they had to bring Kahut on for his third field goal attempt of the game, which he missed wide-left.
USC would then take it 80 yards in 8 plays to take a 15 point lead... OSU would close the gap with yet another field goal in the waning seconds of the half.
Oregon State has been winning the game statistically for most of the night. At the half, the Beavers are out-gaining USC 230-196. Too many penalties though... the Beavers have 5 flags for 45 yards, with the biggest of those being Kristick's late hit on Matt Barkley that negated a interception.
Whether Jacquizz Rodgers re-enters this game or not, the Beavers need to establish a rushing game. Sean Canfield had a great first half, but we're not going to win this game through the air. We have to keep USC balanced on defense. McCants obviously couldn't get it done the few times he had the ball, as Jovan Stevenson continues to look like a better option.
As much as I want to see Quizz come back in the third quarter, I want to make sure he's not risking re-injury by playing on a bum ankle. With UCLA, Cal, and Washington in the next three weeks, we're definitely going to need Quizz for more than just today.
Heading into the third quarter, it's USC 21, OSU 9.
[UPDATE, 10:26 3rd Quarter] Oregon State's defense stopped the Trojans on their opening drive, then the offense drove the ball 60 yards, relying heavily on the passing game, and getting their first touchdown of the game on a 6-yard pass from Canfield to Jacquizz Rodgers. Score: USC 21, Oregon State 16
[UPDATE, 6:34 3rd Quarter] USC drove the ball 70 yards in 12 plays to build a 12 point lead. Just got a text from The VD Special, and couldn't agree with it more: "Time to prove that we are relevant. Score and stop." Score: USC 28, Oregon State 16
[UPDATE, End 3] USC and OSU exchange touchdowns... and the Beavers are still down 12 at the end of the third. Score: USC 35, Oregon State 23
[UPDATE, 12:07 4th Quarter] USC scores on a long punt return, then OSU counters with a touchdown drive in which James Rodgers' helmet was ripped off after he made the catch.... Score: USC 35, Oregon State 29
[UPDATE, 5:41 4th Quarter] Lance Mitchell picks off Matt Barkley and Canfield drives it down the field... Beavers need another stop, and another score... USC 42, Oregon State 36

McCants
Maybe or maybe not in this game, but got to give him a little more of a chance, he’s been out after the injury, can’t expect him to burn it up versus USC in LA on his first few carries.
And hate to say it but we will have to win this in the air. Sure some running established will help, but playing catch up now.
-RVM
Passing game has been pretty good so far.

I agree
And one reason I think it will be how we come back if we do. But I do see Jake’s point because if we don’t have ANY running game they can just tee-off on Sean. But 21 to 9 to USC is going to mean more passing than I assume the coaching staff wanted to do.
Would be great though to see Sean just go ape-crap all over the SC secondary, he’s due sometime in his career and no better time than now.
-RVM
Yeah, it would be great for Canfield to have a real breakout game here.
He’s been doing much better this year as opposed to years past, but the running game this year doesn’t seem to be as big a factor as it was, so he doesn’t have any other choice.

Honest question from a Duck fan here – are you guys pretty solidly on the Canfield bandwagon? I know a lot was said about getting Moevao back in there, but Canfield looks like he has a cannon back there.
This is football
If he has a three INT game, people will want him out of there.

hmm
Not a win, which sucks but at the same time that was actually a pretty good loss if there is ever a thing.
I was VERY impressed that the Beavs didn’t roll over, especially after that SC punt return TD. The guys played it to the last and made a lot of people doubt the overcome I think there at the end of the fourth. Offense actually looked great throughout most of the game.
Still though I really thought we could break through this year in LA, so yes I’m a little mixed about this game.
