Friday Open Thread: Final Preparations

by Jake Bertalotto on Sep 18, 2009 6:52 AM PDT in Oregon State Football

To me, winning this game tomorrow would not just be a victory that spans the course of one week. If the Beavers win tomorrow at Reser Stadium, it will be a game that could act as a springboard for some great things.

If there are any experienced procrastinators out there, you know the feeling when you complete that project far before the deadline-- the sense of accomplishment, relief... you know what I mean. It seems that what Oregon State has been doing in recent years is simply procrastinating-- losing early season games they should win, and pulling out dramatic victories at the end to make up for it.

Tomorrow is a chance to end that streak-- to prove that Oregon State can come out and take care of business in the pre-season, and leave no doubt that they are a team that can make a splash in conference play.

Jacquizz Rodgers hasn't been active in practice this week, but that's okay, right? Rumor has it he sprained his ankle on one of the first plays of the UNLV game, then managed to touch the ball 50-something times after that point. My opinion? You bet Quizz will play. I don't think he needs the practice this week, and Mike Riley is just being extra-conservative by holding him out and resting the sore wheel for tomorrow's game.

To me, this isn't a game that will cap off and define a week of preparation and practice. This is a game that could change the course of an entire season.

Thoughts? Feel free to respond to my rant above, but anything is game in the thread below.

Without a doubt this is a big game. After tomorrow we’ll know a lot more about where our young D is at, where our new WRs are at and what kind of team we have at this point in the season.

So far, things have been different. The first test, UNLV, wasn’t a choke job like it has been in the past few years. Well, there was SOME choking, but the important part was the Beavs recovered and pulled a win out of a late game in hot ass weather. Last year we lose that game.

Cincy’s not Portland State. They’re not UNLV. They do something similar on offense, sure, but they do it better and at a level that not many offenses can. They’re very, very good.

Rutgers and SE Missouri State are NOT good. The Beavers, in my opinion, have played better competition, albeit not great. Watching YouTube highlights of Rutgers and Cincy shows a good Cincy team pushing around inferior Rutgers athletes, especially on the front line. Rutgers’ secondary looked slow and was constantly playing from behind.

I think our guys can do better. I think they’re faster, more athletic and stronger up front on both sides of the ball.

The Beavers won’t dominate the Bearcats. They aren’t going to blow them out or shut them down. But I think they are built to go blow for blow with a team like this as long as they are ready to take this challenge head on and grow up during the game.

Come on, Beavs. Do this.

Not like PSU for sure, but I actually think this team has the potential to dominate a team like the Bearcats. Is that going to happen? Most likely not, for the Bearcats also have the momentum and timing to possibly dominate the Beavs if OSU comes out flat (though I think this is even less likely).

My point here is I guess I would not shocked to see the Beavs figure out a lot and control the game. Right now though I do agree with you overall and think it will be a hard fought game. I just see this year’s team as one who if they can put it together can be a very exciting team. Will that happen tomorrow? I have no idea, it might never all come together this season. I just am kind-of hoping for this type of game has been in the past the kind that has seemed so winnable and then the team has come out flat, but someday this has to change right? And maybe someday could be tomorrow!

I will add though that any W over the Bearcats will be a good win for just that reason it is a W over a ranked team going into the conference schedule next week.

Fundamentals

I think the key to this game is good fundamentals. No turnovers, no drive-killing penalties, and good sound special teams play. The game may hinge on the one time a kickoff or punt team (for either team) allows a long runback for good field position. If we’ve got the basics covered and still get beat, then my hat’s off to the Bearcats. Long sustained drives will keep their hurry-up off the field and set us up nicely for the second half.

I’d like to see more sideline-to-sideline playcalling, get the hands in our playmakers. I think we’ve seen the ability to move the ball with such plays with the blockers just getting slightly in the D’s way. Sure, there might be a few tackles for losses but late in the game just one breakaway against a road fatigued D and it’s all the way to the house.

I can’t tell if I’m unnecessarily worried about Cincinnati, but the lopsided score before was due to turnovers. I expect a tough game between two very good teams. Getting toward the end of the game with a close score, I can’t help but think the Beavs can finish it.

by Joe A. on Sep 18, 2009 12:34 PM PDT reply actions

That game in Cincinnati was so ugly—it was like a worst case scenario nightmare game where literally everything went wrong, the team had negative momentum and they were stuck pushing a big rock up a steep hill the rest of the night.

I don’t like even thinking about that game.

agreed

What worries me though if he can’t go is that the team is geared for him to be in there. We have not established a true back-up and there is no young guy (yet molded for this) in reserve waiting his turn like if say Quizz was a senior.

and if Quizz is out at least we aren't the only side dealing with stuff

CINCINNATI — Starting linebacker Curtis Young is expected to miss up to six weeks for No. 17 Cincinnati after having surgery on his right knee.

The senior had surgery Friday, leaving the Bearcats (2-0) without one of their best defensive playmakers Saturday at Oregon State. Young started in Cincinnati’s wins over Rutgers and Southeast Missouri State, making 13 tackles with one sack.

Coach Brian Kelly also announced on Friday that sophomore defensive back Malik James has left the team to return home to California.

Absolutely.

If sitting around waiting isn't quite enough, this is pretty cool

Saturday will mark the first time in Reser Stadium, formerly known as Parker Stadium, that a ranked Oregon State team will play a ranked non-Pac-10 foe at the venue that opened in 1953. This is also the first time a nationally ranked non-conference team has visited Corvallis since No. 13 BYU in 1977 (OSU 24-13). The Beavers did host No. 11 Arizona State (then not a Pac-10 member) in 1971 and `73, No. 14 Baylor in 1963 and No. 10 Syracuse in 1961 – all those games were played in Portland.

Nah, we were both right on this one

Fresno actually made a game of it for most of it, but in the end the talent of Boise State just pulled away.

I’ll have to yell from home though since I can’t make it down until the game with Stanford.

Right now

I’m thinking Cal is for real, J. Best sure as hell is for real. He looks great so far this year.

But Cal needs to not let Minnesota score anything here at the end of the half.

well now

This game seems to be turning into a big time test for the Bears. We’re going to see what they are made of in the second half.

TD MN

That could be huge for Minn at home. Nice TD after the horrible helmet hit by Cal on the punt, the Gophers should have a ton of momentum coming out of half.

Cal will need to reestablish Best and the game.
