PrintOregon State at California - TV on FSN
Football seems secondary after witnessing such a potentially serious injury unfold in a football game. But there is still a second half to play. Somebody must win.
The Beavers came out of the gate and were able to throw the ball with ease in the Cal secondary. Canfield finished the half 14 of 19 passing for 199 yards and two touchdowns-- he continues to play the best football of his career. Tight end Joe Halahuni was Canfield's favorite target, reeling in four catches for 92 yards. Halahuni also continues to emerge and play the best football of his young Oregon State career.
Canfield scored the first touchdown of the game on a 1-yard quarterback sneak. Early in the second quarter, Canfield found James Rodgers with a pass, James broke a tackle, and scored easily to put Oregon State up 14-0.
It was with just over six minutes left that Jahvid Best scored on a 7-yard touchdown run. Best jumped for the goal line on the play and was met by a Beaver defender... he then fell hard on his upper back, and was taken to the hospital for observation. This play served as a poignant reminder that football is a viscous game that should never be taken for granted-- our thoughts and prayers are with the Best family, and the California football program.
Near the end of the first half, Canfield found Jordan Bishop for a three yard score, putting Oregon State up 21-7 heading into the half.
UPDATE, 9:00 4th Quarter: It's been a long and slow second half, with the ball going back and forth across the field with few points scored. The only points of the half came on a 24-yard field goal from Justin Kahut-- he also missed a 50-yarder. Oregon State now has the ball and needs a long drive to chew up the clock. Oregon State 24. California 7.

Pass the ball
The Bears are completely playing the run inside the 10 yard line. Pass the ball.
I have no problem with running
But running right? That’s a no-no

Anyone read the Cal blogs earlier this week?
I believe there were quotes like “I’m not worried about our defense cause our offense will shred them apart”
Go Beavs

This is really hurting Quizz's stats
I really hope he’s ok with the win, because Cal is stacking the box. They are way overplaying Quizz and under playing Canfield and our receivers

by The VD Special on Nov 7, 2009 7:24 PM PST up reply actions
Wouldn't we want Arizona to lose 3 total pac 10 games though?
Since they hold the tiebreaker against the beavs? I don’t totally understand how that works. Assuming OSU beats the washington teams, wouldnt we want Arizona to lose to Cal and Oregon, and beat USC. That gives them and USC 3 losses, they are out. We would have the tiebreaker against Stanford so a tie would be ok with them, then we could win the pac 10 by beating Oregon and getting the tiebreaker against them.
Nevermind. my head hurts now. Lets just take care of business against the Washington teams…
I'll write up a "what we want to happen" this week

What happens
if three or four teams have two conference losses at the end of the season?
Arizona and Oregon can each easily lose another game. Who goes to the Rose Bowl?
Thats what I was wondering
Like if there are three teams, say, USC, Oregon, OSU, for arguments sake. Oregon beat USC, USC beat the beavs, and the beavs beat Oregon. Do they go to overall record? Flip coins?
