PrintOregon State snuck out of Las Vegas with a win on Saturday night, clinching the victory with a 33-yard Justin Kahut field goal after 14 unanswered UNLV points in the fourth quarter.
First, some miscellaneous game notes via Oregon State:

· The 8 p.m. start is the latest currently on OSU's schedule for 2009.
· Captains for OSU at the start of the game were Lyle Moevao, Keaton Kristick, Stephen Paea and Dwight Roberson. OSU won the coin toss and elected to defer.
· The game was the 20th straight game that the Beavers had a game televised, which is a school record. It dates back to Nov. 3, 2007 at USC.
· The Beavers started the game with three safeties ... Cameron Collins got the first start of his career.
· The Beavers won their 29th game in their last 41 contests, the second-best mark in the Pac-10 behind only USC.
· The Beavers improved to 27-3 in their last 63 games when committing less than turnovers than their opponents.
· Head coach Mike Riley improved to 57-42 at Oregon State.

· Sophomore defensive end Kevin Frahm turned in the first quarterback sack of his career.
· Sophomore tailback Jacquizz Rodgers got loose twice recording career-long runs on two occasions. First he had a 45-yard run in the first half ... he then beat that on the first drive of the second half going 47 yards.

Drive Chart:
We can question play-calling all we want, but with 382 offensive yards and a 5.8 yard-per-play average, it's tough to complain about coaching decisions made on Saturday night.
But that's just me. What's your take?

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I loved the drive in the opening of the second half. That was freaking sweet.
As far as the offense goes, I don’t need 100+ receiving yards for any single player. I’d rather have it spread around and have overall production. I mean, Mike Hass set a single game receiving record at Boise State… in a loss. Just win, baby.
The spin move on the 1st run was awesome
And so was the chest thumping after the run. It’s time he showed some cockiness!

Continuing this conversation with myself...
I also thought the carries by Stevenson looked good. He looks physically like a WR but maybe he’ll grow into more of a RB? Good to know we can spell Quizz for at least a few carries a game… even if it was only TWO. Jeez, Riley, put the kid in more.
I was cringing at some of the hits the Brothers were taking. And what was with the flag on a stiff arm???
I think our offense is getting up to speed. Defensively, I get concerned about 1 sack in two games. Have to pressure a spread team into bad decisions.
Would love to scream my head off at this game, but I’ll be home with some frozen peas for some post-op football (take a guess at what I’ll be recovering from).
GO BEAVS!

The only problem I had with play calling
I think we should have gone down field a little bit more. I think it would of kept the UNLV defense on their heels and we would of gotten more yards on the ground. Other than that though, I thought our play calling was pretty good.

I assumed we didn't do this because of the wind.
Anyone else have other ideas as to why the Beavers didn’t really look deep, after throwing an 87-yard bomb on the first play of the PSU game?

Well the wind was with us some of the time too, but
UNLV never went deep either so maybe it was a factor.
I also think since this was the first full game they would play Riley wanted to get Quizz and James a lot of touches, especially Quizz. Riley is not that afraid to open it up at times, but he really does like to establish the running game and I think part of it was “okay, I want to see the offense establish themselves with the running, Quizz has got us where we are and he will get us where we are going.” So it seemed like he wanted to establish in Quizz’s and the offense’s mind that yes he will be the to go guy.
BUT I also think the receiver situation was (still is) in question so the coordinators were not totally sure what they were bringing and it takes a good deal of confidence and game experience to start going deep with young guys.
I’m sure there were other reasons, like match ups they saw with UNLV’s D, etc.
My assumption, without any logical backing, is that we will see a bit more of the playbook this upcoming Saturday.
