Oregon State vs. TCU: Second Half Open Thread

PrintOregon State vs. TCU - In Progress on ESPN from Cowboys Stadium
Halftime thoughts:
First-time starter Ryan Katz made more good passes than poor ones in the first half, and is doing all that was expected of him. He had James Rodgers open on the first play of the game but the ball was overthrown-- he would later hit a wide open Rodgers on a seam route for the first score of the game. He made some mistakes and still has things to learn, but Oregon State fans have to be happy with Katz's performance. He's doing a good job eluding the blitz, and has been well protected by the offensive line.
Jacquizz Rodgers has had no room to run so far in this game. TCU's run defense is no joke, and it probably doesn't help that they're bringing a safety up towards the line of scrimmage at times to help stop the run.
"He can run, we just need to find some lanes for him," Mike Riley said before going into the locker room.
Mark Banker and the defensive staff need to find a way to stop Andy Dalton from scrambling-- the Horned Frogs have been able to run on every third and long, which they shouldn't be able to do. To me, it seems like the defensive line is getting a good rush on Dalton but sometimes are getting pushed behind Dalton, out of the play. With the linebackers and secondary having to pay so much attention to the litany of receivers TCU is sending out, there is open field in front of Dalton once he gets in front of a few of the OSU defensive linemen.
All-in-all, a good first half. The Beavers are making plays, but they lack consistency. The Hekker fake punt was awesome, but it's basically a non-factor now as Hekker's poor punt resulted in a TCU touchdown. That three-and-out right before the half was killer, but this is still anyone's game in the second half. I'll take it.
The Beavers need to come out of the locker room and get a stop on TCU, then go to work on offense. But I'll take that first half.

Alright alright,
We’ll take a penalty.

The problem here
Is that we can’t stop them on one play, let alone 3 in a row. They’re just getting 3-4 yards at a time.

Man... so terrible
Really gotta feel for the center.
That’s the game.
"...it was like he brought his own personal cross-wind to the arena." - Dave
Why did Katz do that?
That makes it a two possession game instantly, and they give it back to TCU. He should have at least tried to pick it up and throw it or something.
My yoke is heavy.
Yea. Worst case, it would have been a safety.
Unless he couldn’t get it.
"...it was like he brought his own personal cross-wind to the arena." - Dave
Worst case we give up a TD
Katz was thinking save 5 points.
Andy Wooldridge, andy_wooldridge@yahoo.com

Go Beavs!
The problem is if TCU scores a TD off that, it's a two possession game just like now.
Instead of OSU having a two possession deficit and having to punt it off to TCU after the safety, now they don’t get the ball back. That’s the big thing.
My yoke is heavy.
It's very iffy at best, and I lean toward taking the safety.
To expect Katz to weigh pros and cons in 1.5 seconds is a pretty tall order.
I'd rather be down two possessions with the ball than down two possessions without it.
You’re absolutely right though, it’s a horrible decision for Katz to have to make in the first place, let alone in a split second.
My yoke is heavy.
I think there's a slight assumption there.
Down two scores is a big window; 9 points is won by a FG and a TD, 14 is tied by two TDs.
You wouldn't get the ball back anyway, though, with only one timeout and TCU's offense.
Having the ball was important. Whatever, though. It likely wouldn’t have mattered. This one doesn’t rest on Katz or that one play by any means.
My yoke is heavy.
The ball was headed for the endzone
with two TCU players bearing down on it and him.
Trying to think what could cause that?
Must’ve been TCU. No other explanation.

Well, combined with the D barking at him...
Maybe they knew a major blitz was coming?
"...it was like he brought his own personal cross-wind to the arena." - Dave
If TCU gets a TD here, it will look like a blow out
Sucks. It’s been a great, hard fought game.
"...it was like he brought his own personal cross-wind to the arena." - Dave
Playing a tough game on the road for your first game
I wish we could get a tough game at home to start the season sometime.
And I felt sooooo good
going into that. I actually had noticed the play clock dropping fast.

Have to blame Hekker for some of this.
