6pm on Pac Network.
I put the thread up early because there are some interesting Pac games today, so feel free to discuss those.
First go beavs!
45-24 Cal. No big boy pants on GA today.
GoBeavs…..and Huskies i guess
Third!
Uhhhh third? You’re not tailgating already are you? :-)
Go Beavs! I’ll be watching and hoping.
Orange colored glasses are telling me the run game and garretson get going, the d forces 2 turnoversand beavs win 31-28.
Smokin’ the hopium!
Turns out you had this pretty well called.
Colorado getting hammered by one of the worst USC teams in several decades. So much for that excuse for the Beavs last week.
I wouldn’t call 14 points a hammering. I also have no clue why Montez started.
I think the two are related.
Liufau must really be hurt. Montez looks like one of our QBs in this game.
*one of our QBs from last year
Going for it on 4th and 6 on your own 29 with 4.5 minutes left in the 3rd?
Navy up 14 to start the 4th…. Houston on the march.
Navy up 46-40 with 1:57 left and Houston kicking off with one time-out.
Why do I have this terrible feeling the huskies are going to gag it against the quacks?
Oh… ummm… 1, 2… 7th!
Boise State’s chances of making the playoff just went up quite a bit with the UH loss.
So… Navy beats Houston… BYU stomps Sparty at E.Lansing… ND loses a game at NCSU that reminded me of the 1991 Civil War in both weather and quality of play… CU@USC is some really pathetic football on both sides… but the score is close, so it must be a good game?
This may be a strange day in college football.
*1992
Huskies pick off Herbert’s first pass of the game, and this was after Oregon fumbled the kickoff return. Think the ducks are nervous?
The Ducks are as irrelevant as the Beavs. Riley’s signature win looks more like a scribble.
Let the ass-kicking begin. Go Fuskies!!!
Who is this Duck QB? Herbert? Never heard of him
Local kid from Eugene area who was injured his senior year, so possibly overlooked during recruiting. Or maybe not?
They seem to think he is Mariota 2.0
He looks more like NFL Tebow 2.0
You’re quite the college football analyst, you should start a blog or something.
Yay!
The webfoots? Beavers have webbed feet as well trying to steal everything even the state flag. Im disgusted even more by this team.
Remember all those games where Oregon boat raced their opponent and won big? Yeah, the other 11 Pac-12 programs do as well. There will be no mercy shown on the ducks by anyone. Payback is a bitch
Ok..here we go…I can do this…
go huskies.
Phew. Now that that’s out of the way, FTD!
So enjoyable to see Oregon so overmatched by an opponent after the past several seasons. Hoping UW doesn’t step off the gas until the end of the 4th quarter. Seeing if Autzen’s scoreboard allows for triple digit scores would be nice.
Back to reality for Oregon. It’s the beginning of the end.
I hope the dawgs hang 70 on oregon. Please twist the knife Peterson, pretty please.
Good call
How’s that u oval design? Reaching
I know this is dumb to bitch about but can we wear something other than the orange helmet?
Reser is empty…..
You can wear whatever color helmet you want.
ha
I liked the orange helmet better without the Beaver logo.
Cal’s D looks very soft so far. Beavs can maybe win this game.
We started out like this last week, and then we started mixing in the overthrown deep balls. Curious if we do that again today or keep the plays short and manageable?
The OSU offensive line is doing well…what are these announcers talking about?
Ted is usually on the ball.
Wow, those stands are realllly empty
Throws like that confirm Garrettson isn’t a P5 QB.
He has bad footwork. Maybe if he fixed the footwork he could actually make those throws.
I can’t believe I’m watching this game…
Nothing wrong with loyalty.
Like what im seeing but with some of these holes that have opened up i can’t help but think what if pierce was hitting those. O line looks solid tho. Lavaka is safe between the two vets and i think his size helps the run game.
Whats Andersen say its a funny shaped ball that bounces funny ways
35-7 UW at the half. Bye Helf, you seemed like a good guy
I’m kinda wondering who they would go get if they did fire him. Considering all the programs that will be looking for a new head coach this offseason, Oregon isn’t getting first dibs on the elite choices.
Tom Izzo
ha ha ha ha ha. They prolly think they can get Saban. Or that the Chipster would come back. Wasn’t Altman like their 15th choice? Not that it hasn’t worked out. Altman is a good coach
Garretson getting time but throws still look shitty.
There gO the bandwagOners!
https://mobile.twitter.com/Softykjr/status/784926015101382656
Nice to have something to do during these reviews :)
Awesome!
It has to be half-time and they’re going out for a drink or two. Or three. Hahaha I mean they wouldn’t be leaving early would they. Hahahah
SMASH MOUTH FOOTBALL!!!
Keep running the ball, Beavs… keep running the ball.
Nice drive Beavs
Hopefully they get worn down then put pierce in and they can’t keep up and give up big plays. Like this rag tag ol.
Turning point everyone has been waiting for?
It would be ironic if it happens when nobody is at the game.
Nice call on the fake.
Yep, so easy, Beavs caught completely unaware.
Anytime the whole team wants to go u should be aware. Thats the first thing i thought when webb got upset when he got called off
Cal uni looks like it has white bra straps showing.
How many red shirts burned so far
did you see the graphic that 64 of the players on the roster are freshman or sophomores?
No missed that. I saw joah robinett so his red shirt is gone. Having 64 freshman and sophomore says everything about rileys recruits and why this team makes so many mistakes
Graphic?
At the beginning of the year we called it a roster.
Partially block a chip shot FG and it hits the cross bar and bounces over.
Luck o da Beavs.
Run D still does not look good. Bend but don’t break so far.
Ducks down 5 scores to the Huskies. I almost feel almost kinda bad for them. Or not.
Here he comes!
Thunder and lightning
Imagine if the passes weren’t at the receiver’s feet, or sailing over heads. Fortunately the ground game has been solid
God seriously. As rough as the O line play has been this year, this is truly on the QB. If we just had a serviceable QB this would be a much different season.
O line play has been very good in this game so far
Holy crap! A two TD lead! And by the beavers!
Credit where credit is do, Beavs look like a different team tonight.
Football is so hard for me haha. As terrible as they look last week, the coaches and announcers keep saying how close they are. Is this really it or will the letdown come?
Dawgs up by 42 with 20 minutes left LOL
POUR IT ON!
QB draw was a great play call.
Its amazing how good all the plays look when the o-line plays well. Any sacks yet?
Thanks vic, duh
That new Beaver on the locker room doors behind the endzone is well done.
10 out of 10 for use of the space.
Announcers are right on. I get it, but no reason to go for that play there. Just run the fucking ball.
Where did Nall go? The drive where they used Nall looked great. I like Paul Lucas but more wrecking Nall. We are running all over these guys when we try.
There ya go
Better to be lucky than good…
There’s the Beaver football we know.
The receiver was wrapped up before the ball got there, wasnt he? Replay was blurry so couldnt tell
correct. Refs missed PI on Cal
Luck o da fucking beavs
Villamin needs to ride the pine. He’s become useless, which is very odd since he was once good.
Blown pi call.
yup. Pretty hard to make that catch when the DB has his arms draped around you. Beavs got screwed on that one
Why are we throwing it. RUN the ball
There was no reason to get greedy with 1:00 left in the half. Stupid to pass at that point
It was a safe play call most of the time and we had a chance for points.
No passing play is a safe play, especially for our team
And the worst possible thing happens, what else is new.
We can run over them nonstop, so let’s throw a pass, get it picked, and allow them back into the game. Fantastic play-calling.
They don’t fucking learn. When you’re already terrible and grasping at straws and something is working, why get away from it? What the fuck
Has anything good happened by throwing to Villamin this year?
He can play special teams the rest of the year.
Beavs controlling this game, cal still in it based on two lucky bounces
Piss poor play calling IMO.
Ooooops TD Fuskies 70 – 21 BaaaaaaHAHAHAHAH
Nothing like a well-deserved beat down :)
And there’s still 10 minutes left so there’s time for more. HAHAHAHA
Is Phil on the sidelines or did he bail out too? :-)
Hopefully by passing on every down
Quacks can’t even stop the backups. How the mighty have deliciously fallen.
Bahahahaha bandwagon mascot:
https://mobile.twitter.com/FireDownGraphic/status/784940131031535616
Lots of photoshop opportunity there…..hehe
F YEAH NALLLLL!!
Ryan Nall going beast mode.
WRECKING NALL!!!!!!!!!
Seth Collins with the fucking crushing block?
That block was serious.
I take back everything I said about that kid last year, based on that one selfless act. That block was all about team. Maybe our little Seth has grown up
The dude is a competitor.
Hernandez had an important one but not like that wow.
Collins with the block!!!
Great effort blocking by the wideouts
Nall looked like he was running out of gas about 10 yards out.
Way to go Ryan!
The dude is 235. Probably only gets about 0.5 miles per gallon.
He couldn’t pump his own because of the stupid law.
I guess if I ask I shall receive.
More Nall, more Nall, more Nall….and sprinkle in some Lucas.
Someone above mentioned how Villamin fell off this year. This is a result of the QB. He can’t throw past 10 yards. That plays havoc with your tall receiver. Maybe they will get it figured out.
Quacks accusing the huskies of running up the score. BOO FUCKING HOO
:::sniffle:::
Takes one to know one.
Not sure what to make of this. We aren’t winning this on trick plays, turnovers, or any other flukes. We genuinely look like the better team up to this point. Such a turnaround from the past couple of games.
Mobile QB!
Collins took out the LB on that last Pierce run too. Impressive blocks by him
Made that same comment to the mrs…beavs actually playing like a team
This is pretty cool. Beavs are going to get their first Pac win under Andersen. I wonder how it will propel them. They need it for morale that’s for sure.
Put Garretson in as a RB and put somebody else in to throw the frigging ball. Either that or quit calling pass plays.
Did I say piss poor play calling? Yes
300+ yards rushing, so……let’s throw it on 3rd and 3.
Garrettson should have run for the first down.
I wonder if that isn’t why hernandez is playing over villamin considering the article about him being complacent. Plus mcgivinens comments its a one guy on offense throwingboff the play.
Is the shoulder now considered targeting?
That is not targeting.
Si
Pac-12 officiating (up in the booth) actually made a good call (reversed the on field call). I’m having to hold onto my desk in order to keep from falling over.
Yogi and boo boo are killing me with the stupid chit chat and not knowing what targeting is…ugh
NALLLLLL
Finally, an IDENTITY for OSU!!!
Nall Ball!!!
Nall Ball motherfucker!!!!!
Three score lead!
I said i wanted pierce earlier but i will admit nall has proven me wrong. I still like pierce but nall is having a game.
That’s going to leave a mark!
Special teams
From a Cal blog:
“Fire everyone on the defensive coaching staff.
Fire the Oregon State OC if he calls another passing play in this game.”
4th quarter, bring it home dudes
Just keep the ball on the ground. Grind it out!
Please don’t Coug it.
Isaiah Hodsgins has to be impressed with the energy the Beavs are bringing. Andersen may just get his man!
Show this 4 star another smash mouth drive Beavs!
Coming into the game, it was mentioned that OSU had decent stats against the pass. I figured that was because we had been blown out early against our better competition, so they wouldn’t have a reason to pass against us for the whole game. Looking how we’ve contained that aspect of Cal’s offense tonight, we might actually have decent pass coverage. So, a bit of bright spot for the team.
If this o line can keep it up and they take care of the ball they can get the w.
Beavs d-line is getting blown off the ball now. The offense has to keep scoring, it may take 41 or 48 points to put this away.
47 points to be exact. ;)
Keep your foot on the gas coach
Great play call well set up.
OMG a Bolden reverse that didn’t go in reverse!
Now that reverse was a good call. :-)
WHY ARE WE THROWING THE BALL
So we can fuck this up. Get with the program Scotty.
PI that wasn’t called.
Can we hold on?
I don’t know……. the run defense is an absolute sieve now and Nall is out of the game. Can they get enough first downs to piss away the clock? This next possession is crucial.
This second half seems endless.
Can we play Cal’s defense every week?
Have to wait for the CW.
Lets go ol
Is this where we start throwing every down?
Hang on to the ball and don’t get cute.
What happened to Nall
Ankle go boom :(
Just got back from hunting, holy crap are the beavers gonna win? I see they are wearing the all orange carrot uniforms, I approve
Hernandez again with the block
Seth Coug’s it.
That play has been there all day
Nice D.
Oh shit, Beavs are going to Coug it.
Sure looks like it.
The advantage of looking to the sidline and audibling.
Our guys are not used to having a lead late in the game. They clearly aren’t understanding that 3&12 is basically 2&12 because the opponent must go for 4th down. Great stop on 3rd down leads to confusion that should never be. Obviously they will go for 4th. Gotta learn to play with a lead and stay focused for 4th down. Not celebrating a 3rd down stop and leaving a huge hole to run through on 4th
Yupper
What the f-ck kind of defense is that, where there are no linebackers?
Banker kind.
Gotta give them credit. Calling a draw play on 4th and 6 takes some balls.
Amazing call since it worked. Gutsy. Crazy, too.
Wow bolden nice decision crazy.
Pierce stay in bounds!
Coug’d it.
Yikes….
This is going to get dicey.
That was a stupid call. You have to throw to the first down. I guess they don’t trust Garrettson?
This will be a crushing loss.
Past the fingernails, chewing fingers off now
Ugh.
Just dont letbthem fake it for the win.
The drop by Collins was huge.
Yup
And he didn’t catch it out in front with his hands for some reason.
Because he’s a QB playing WR?
But you said he’s a shitty QB?
Epic choke job.
Cal acting like they’ve taken the huskies to ot
They get more Beaver time.
F this.
Remember back in the 3rd when the announcers said we wanted to play like it was 0-0?
They got their wish!
Just wanted to stop by and say that Seth Collins drop was the difference between a win and overtime.
You are spot on.
Wondering what brand of Offense we bring out
http://today.ucf.edu/files/2015/05/Charlie-Brown-kick-528×396.jpg
Sweet!
Yessssss!
WOW!
That feels good.
That’s what the nongender specific person said.
Sweet victory!! Yes!!
Congrats to GA and the boys. They almost took a big dump in their big boy pants.
Oh boy we got get to graduate to pullups now.
Go beavers, how bout that
Come take your medicine bitches.
Especially you youngorst
Give me some lottery numbers dude.
I also predicted 37-34. I was off by 1 number.
Even the sun shines on a dog’s ass somedays
Don’t ask for lottery numbers. Otherwise I wouldn’t even be here
Nice call… after the fact.
I already commented hours ago
Crickets after the win. Maybe you’re just, Idk………..WRONG?
Or maybe I was at a friends birthday party and just got home?
You do remember me saying I hope you’re right last week right? Because I did. I’m very happy right now, you feel the need to call me out, good for you.
Beavs won, that’s all I care about tonight
I was wrong about tonight, time will tell on Anderson, 1 win doesn’t a program make
But don’t care about that in the least tonight, I’m gonna enjoy the win just like I did when Riley was here.
Much like tonight, one game does not make a season. This is a rebuild much bigger than you’re willing to admit This isn’t USC. There have been and will be awful performances. 16 games and you wrote that shit. You’re entitled to your opinion though. You were calling for this coaching staff’s head after last weekend. Maybe you should give them a fucking chance?
Actually, I was calling for a shorter leash than 4 years; I called for considering it at the end of this season if they went 0-9 again or the end of next season if the team doesn’t show improvement but at no point did I say they should fire the coaches after last week.
I also never made even 1 claim that this was USC or anything close to it.
But thanks for continuing to make up things I never said to fit your argument.
If it makes you feel better to put words in my mouth, got for it.
No but you made the claim this was not a Colorado type rebuild. You also made the claim you were never high on the Anderson hire either and preferred Baldwin from EWU. I never stated you wanted this staff fired. But correct, you wanted a shorter leash. And obviously you lacked confidence in Anderson and this coaching staff. I’ll I’ve ever stated since this coaching staff took over was patience. 60+ players on this team are underclassmen. They’ll be more blowouts. There will be more head scratching. There will be questions. There will be tough losses and unexpected wins. It’s part of the process of turning this program into what GA envisions. And it WON’T happen overnight.
I’ll grant you one thing you are/were correct on. GA is terrible at anything other than a pass of less than 10 yards. When you rush for more than you throw, that is not a good sign.
That said, there’s still a few more wins on the table for these guys this year. I still don’t see them sniffing a bowl game but 5 wins is possible. We shall see depending on the health of Josh Rosen.
Beavs better bring it next weekend against Utah because those blowout losses I speak of? They’re coming the following two weeks against the Washington schools.
And I still stand by everything I said last weekend.
I am very happy they won, I hope they win every week. And if Andersen succeeds I will eat my crow but that has not happened yet.
I still contend this wasn’t/shouldn’t have been a Colorado style rebuild, Andersen made decisions that could turn it into that but that was his call and not something that had to happen.
I am encouraged by the focus on JUCO recruits (discouraged that none are QBs so far but encouraged overall) and if he can get 7-10 of them that would help convince me that he is who he claimed (someone that wanted to focus on JUCO recruiting).
The reality is that looking at next years schedule, I don’t think expecting 6 wins is unreasonable in 2017 and if he only gets 3-4 I don’t see why you have to give him a 4th year to know he isn’t the guy.
They have 3 winnable OOC games next year (Portland State, at Colorado State, Minnesota) and 3 PAC wins should be a reasonable expectation in 2017.
You can disagree but I stand by my position. I am still far from convinced GA is the answer and lean towards him not being. I did want Baldwin but larger picture my position was that you need an strong offensive mind in Corvallis. I absolutely believe that to be true and that is not GA.
I hope I am wrong and GA proves he is everything you seem to believe him to be. I really do.
“I did want Baldwin but larger picture my position was that you need an strong offensive mind in Corvallis. I absolutely believe that to be true and that is not GA.”
They scored 47 points last night and won.
Look, I don’t want to get into a debate here. They won and I’m gonna enjoy it so you can have the last word if you insist on it. This will be my final post on the topic.
1 game, it was 1 game.
What is their offensive plan? Do you honestly know? Because I still can’t tell. Yesterday they seemed committed to the run but it was also working. I have not seen a clear vision from them on what they are offensively.
I knew what Chip Kelly wanted to do at Oregon (spread option at a lightning pace), I know what Mike Leach wants to do at WSU (Air raid) , I know what Sonny Dykes wants to do at Cal (Air Raid), I know what Shaw wants to do at Stanford (power running game), Chris Peterson will get the athletes to do whatever he wants at UW and its obvious he knows that so he is running a mixed bag.
OSU won’t have Peterson’s athletes, they need a system.
Can you honestly tell me what what GA’s system is? I can’t.
Thought it was gonna be spread option with a varied pace which is what we saw yesterday but was that a mirage or something they will commit too?
This is my concern with defensive coaches in the head job, they often don’t have a clear vision offensively. That won’t work at OSU in my view. You need a clear plan to recruit too and stick with.
As I said, you can have the last word.
Go Beavs
Youngorst, maybe you’ve heard of bill belicheck? He’s a defensive coach. His teams also constantly change their identity from week to week. Not to compare ga to bb just to make the point that naming your offense isn’t as necessary as having a good game plan and having players that are capable and willing to execute same. Btw, there are articles out post game that state ga’s plan for cal was to run on them. And they accomplished that goal.
That is the NFL, not college. You can put a whole new plan in each week in the NFL because players work 60-80 hours a week, you have 20 hours in college.
That said, as I mentioned, Chris Peterson can do similar things because he will consistently have the horses to do whatever he wants. OSU won’t have that, you need a clear plan for both recruiting and game prep. Of course you make small tweaks week to week but you can’t completely change your identity each week in college football. You don’t have the time and at OSU; you’re not gonna have the athletes. That is just reality.
Again, you guys are free to believe that will work at OSU but I’m not buying it. If they don’t find a clear offensive identity, it won’t work.
Look, you guys mistake game planning for philosophy. I don’t care what they name it and of course you make changes based on your opponent but you need a clear identity of who you are.
This identity allows you to focus your recruiting, allows you to run things precisely without too much thinking (minimizes errors), and makes the week to week changes more effective.
Is OSU a running team including at the QB position? They were yesterday but is that their identity?
That doesn’t mean you have to run more than you pass every week but it gives you something to build from. Every team needs that. Even the Patriots have that despite the changes they make week to week you know that Brady will attack the seams and they are going to challenge you vertically downfield each and every week.
Whatever, it doesn’t matter. People are gonna see what they want to see. I guess you don’t need an identity, they’ll just find one as the season goes on right? Wasn’t that Riley’s shtick? Gotta find that identity.
Were you not around when ga was hired? He’s made it clear since then what his plan and identity he plans to implement. Strong defense, special teams and spread offense. What type of offense? Here a a quote…
Offensively, however, he hopes to blend two systems: one, the wide-open approach used during his final season at Utah State, and two, Meyer’s spread-based style from Ohio State.
The Beavers won’t be a fast-paced spread, snapping the ball every 10 seconds, Andersen said, but nor will they “just sit there and ram power (offense) up your ass for an hour.”
It’s a plan that speaks to Andersen’s evolution as a coach — and, perhaps, speaks to a slight aversion to Wisconsin’s meat-and-potatoes offensive identity, a punishing yet plodding method that lacked wrinkles even as it found success against Big Ten competition.
“We’re going to spread out the field,” he said. “Can’t beat them, join them at some point. I think there’s a happy medium. It’s a great equalizer.”
Not only was I around but I already mentioned what he said he’d do when he was hired. I haven’t seen evidence of what he claimed.
Look, you guys win. Andersen is a genius and I just don’t get it. I will never criticize again. This is the last time. So glad we have such an amazing brilliant mind in Corvallis. I look forward to many Rose Bowls. Thanks for convincing me of the errors in my views. Truly appreciate it.
On the one hand you say you don’t know what his offense identity is …on the other, you say “Thought it was gonna be spread option with a varied pace which is what we saw yesterday but was that a mirage or something they will commit too?” agreeing he had an identity from the beginning.
This rebuild is a process, not a project.
This thing will take more than 16 games, riley made sure of that. I get it you’re impatient, that’s cool, but maybe don’t be so sensitive
Check the picks whiskey, you weren’t the only one
check the thread from last Saturday. I called it then
I went back and looked at what you wrote.
You called it after the fact.
I called this win last weekend
The napkin speaks the truth
So?
I’m only doing precisely what you wrote.
I’ll bet you got all negatively knotted in the nethers because of it too.
Sweet baby Jesus that snap was awful, somehow Garrettson saved the day. Luck O’ The Beavs, indeed.
Yes sir. Bobbled snap that Garretson took to the house. Maybe? This luck o the beavs thing can be flipped????
Oh snap…
League WIN #1. Let’s get some more!
Isaiah Hodsgins…come to OSU!
LETS GO! FINALLY ANDERSEN DELIVERS!!
It seems like the Ducks are ripe for the picking, but I’d be more optimistic if Nall plays.
I take back (almost) every bad thing I’ve said about Garrettson. He’s earned himself a pointless deep shot at the endzone next game with that game-winning run.
He had 105 yds rushing to go with Nall’s 221.
This should be what they do. Make teams respect the run, build the passing game off of it.
I’d like to see some option passes which could allow them to get the ball downfield without the need for the accuracy that Garretson clearly does not have. When you run option passes you often get receivers more space but also get Garretson moving towards the line which allows him to just lay the ball out there and let the receiver go get it. May help with his lack of touch.
You have to find a way to stretch the field vertically and make it a real threat at some point and basing it off what is already a strength (running game and mobile QB) is the best approach in my view.
my sentiments exactly. managed to watch the second half; they definitely earned, nearly lost, and re-earned that win. Played to their strengths and had their pieces clicking for the most part. Good job guys!
This is a turning point for Andersen. Beavs will be upticking from here on out.
BIRGs all around, beaver fans!
Nice game to host recruits, weather perfect, good hard fought win against a name brand, proof that the team isn’t as far as their record shows, fans were involved even if a small crowd
Yes! What’s Andersen’s saying ” players make plays” great play by garretson
players make plays, players win games
He also says carrots make cake.
Anderson wasn’t blubbering like a baby in the post game interview was he?
This shot of Nall crying with Andersen doesn’t look good if its injury news related…
Check out @BeaverAthletics’s Tweet: https://twitter.com/BeaverAthletics/status/784985816745463808?s=09
Nall was dancing with team in the field right after Garretson scored.
Looks like Nall is smiling to me.
Unbelievable victory especially after letting Cal come back and tie the game then let them take the lead. I’m impressed they dug deep and won that. Very young team found a way to win.
Most impressive tough performance. These Beavs really are tough.
BeaverCake is the the best cake..how did we ever get away from that?
Did we find our identity? 474 yds rushing! I like it.
Yes but the D is plenty thin. Look what happened after a couple injuries…
Agreed. Injuries decide this team’s fate. This was a great win and feels good, but I’m not about to start thinking this means we’re going to win more games. It feels like it took everything this team had to make it to OT. But if our only other win this season is the CV, it will be a special season.
Stanford is a dumpster fire…
I’am surprised that is a surprise.
Thought Joah Robinette played really well at DE in his first game. Great size for that position. Need to start getting him in there for field goal and punt blocking with that reach.
Looked like he kept that guy out of the end zone, I don’t think the ball actually crossed the plane, it was in the ball carrier’s left hand.
I too thought he might be a factor in defending the kicking game. 6’8″ correct?
Wow. Ucla has disgusting final minute play to concede the loss. No big boy pants displayed on that final drive
The pac12 is now Washington, and 11 pants shitters on any given night.
crapple cup could be a great game
The huskies still have plenty of opportunities to crap their pants (or would that be poop the carpet?)
My winning comment of the night!
It would be nice if someone would rub their nose in it, but I think that is doubtful.

Yes I remember that awesome New Mexico bowl where they coug’d against CSU at the end. Leach has also lost the last two years to an fcs opponent. i guess Leach doesn’t have warts either. I’ll be fair though. If the Beavs are a no show, get blown out by Cal and aren’t competitive? I’ll say you’re right………
I’m calling it tonight. Beavs give GA his first PAC win against Cal next Saturday night
Quit your horseshit Jack
I don’t know quite what you’re wanting me to quit. You certainly told us after the fact.
He’s got one more win to go for that statement to be true. I’m not kissing his feet until we beat Utah. If that happens I’ll be willing to promote Whiskey to his rightful pedestal.
If telling him he said so after the fact is putting him on a pedestal… okay?
This pic from one of our official visitors is pretty priceless. That smile…

Sat behind him at the game and the other recruits. We gave them a pretty good laugh the whole game getting rowdy and dancing stupidly.
Did you whip out your mammoth boner?
Some things are better left unspoken of…
Why of do you say that?
You should be proud of your fossil record.
Slightly off topic. Looks like wbb recruit Kiana Williams chose Stanford
Dawgs are clearly the Pac favorite now. South is weak and wide open. Leg Humpers are the only team that has a shot at getting in to the CFP.
Sun Devils technically have a shot. No way they’ll do it, but they’re sitting at 5-1 right now.
Beavs/Utah will be a fisticuffs game that is run oriented and won in the trenches. Beavs will win 21-20
Keep up the good work!
Funny, sure a different team when the line plays well… All the posts I read about the QB and the coaching being the issue… I could of ran through some of those holes tonight, o line played lights out, and it won them the game.. the d wasn’t near as tired and only wearing down late in the game… gonna be a while till their back but to all those folks saying there is no progress: kiss my ass!… they showed that tonight
Just got back from the game. Very stressful…couple of points:
1) We should have shut them out in the first half. That tipped FG that hit the crossbar and bounced in, and that insanely fluky pick-six that bounced off Villamin and right into the hands of a defender…they got 10 points off two seriously lucky bounces.
2) I seriously can’t remember the last time we won a close game. 4 years, 5? Riley simply did not win close games, and Anderson hadn’t until tonight (though in fairness, he hasn’t been in many). I think the last time we won in OT was the 2006 Sun Bowl. So that really impressed me. We may not be good, but we’re already more clutch than a Riley team.
3) Speaking of clutch, Garrettson’s bad-snap-to-TD to win the game? Gorgeous. That was a Russell Wilson caliber play.
4) I’m mad this didn’t make it onto any of the replay videos, but this was my play of the game:

This is 110% NFL blitz action. He drug 1-3 guys a full 25 FREAKIN YARDS at the end of the play. People talk about YAC (yards after contact) — in this case, about 60. But this run begs a stat for YDC (yards during contact) …about 30 here. Awesome.
It definitely was an awesome play!
Wsn called it. Nice work.
Was at the game. Rushing attack was 100 times. Maybe they should run a wing t offense instead. Passing seems to be a bad idea right now.
Haven’t got to enjoy a nail biter like that in a long time. Proud of the student section cheering and energy all night, they really brought it.
Something else that was quite different last night was the crowd knew when to shut the fuck up on offense, like those in attendance where actually football savvy. My guess is this is the more true football purists sticking it out instead of the stands being full of idiots that just cheer everything. It always embarrasses me when the stands go nuts on a 3rd and short play. :foreheadslap:
BeaverGopher, you ready for next week’s 1pm kickoff? We’re doing French toast, Spanish coffees and mimosas before the game and chop chop chicken after.
Ready to bring my toxic Beaver football luck to Reser!
Looks like things are even worse than they appear in Duckville:

Compare that to the beavs grinding out the win and showing up despite the hard times. Night and day.
But… but… I thought the kids who chose other schools over Nikegon were the ones who didn’t want to put in the hard work it takes to be champions.
I’m so confused.
Caught the second half. Was surprised at the halftime lead, then saw Nall’s 80 yard TD run…wow. Obviously a very needed win and a confidence booster. Great that it happened with some recruits in attendance, even if the crowd was small.
Decoud was great and I think he’s playing himself into the NFL. The other CB (Hawkins? Crawford?) made a nice play on the ball in the endzone, tipping it just enough to prevent the catch.
Did anyone notice that player who made the nice hit on the kickoff coverage but appeared to give himself a concussion? Poor guy was getting celebratory head slaps on the way back to the sideline….then he gets to the sideline, gets on his knees and puts his head on the ground. I don’t expect he’ll be playing next week.
Next week should be better attended due to the start time and the opponent. I would also expect more Utah fans to show up than Cal fans did yesterday. I understand v. BSU there was a lot of blue in the stadium.
I expect Utah to spread it out and run up the middle until OSU can shows they can defend it because they sure didn’t last night.
I’m guessing Nall got his ankle pulled/turned the last time he was tackled(?). If he can’t go Cook is going to have to provide some inspired play in support of Pierce.
Pettibonehead, the Beavs put up some rushing numbers similar to the halcyon days of your OSU coaching tenure…maybe knock $5 off that autographed photo and provide free shipping to celebrate the win?
Pretty sure that was Jalen Moore that rung his own bell on that kickoff return.
Also Tim Cook has been moved to defensive back so he won’t be backing up Pierce
Forgot about that. If he’s a legit 230+, pretty big DB.
Hmmm, White isn’t any bigger than Pierce and pretty sure he hasn’t had any carries this season in game time, correct? Didn’t see any on a stats page. I’m sure Lucas will get more reps, but I’d think a bigger guy like Cook would have been beneficial v. Utah.
Kyle White was the RB moved to DB. I believe Cook is still an RB. He’s 4th in the depth chart behind Nall, Pierce, and Lucas.
You are correct. Got White and Cook mixed up.
My bad objcritic
Crawford deflected the pass in the end zone. He lead the team in passes defended with 3.
The Civil War is looking more and more winnable.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see the Beavs favored.
I thought it looked winnable before. The Ducks D is atrocious, that alone made it winnable.
If Hoke can turn it around, it won’t be overnight. They still have some speed on offense, but Helfrich is a nice guy who can’t maintain the team’s focus and aggressiveness like his predecessor.
Also, I know the context of college football has changed with the spread and read option offenses, but good defense and sound tackling appear to be limited to a few teams in the country. Neither Cal nor OSU could defend the run last night. OSU at least had to respect the pass; CAL did not.
Once the have more depth they will be better. They did great last night until a couple guys were injured on D, i.e., look at 4th qtr.
Offense did a great job of staying on the field, using up time and moving the ball! That helped the defense immensely.
Looks like Goe is becoming a Beaver Believer:

The one I’m most happy for after this win? “Lady sports fan”–see the comments below that article. Must-read.
Nobody mentioned this, but with NE on a bye Riley was probably home watching that Beav win.
Undoubtedly befuddled by the dedication to the run!
I was at last night game. Pretty small crowd, but at times it was as loud as I’ve ever head it. I was actually pretty impressed with the noise at times.
When then Beavs were up 17 in the 4th people started leaving. I understand some people have to drive awhile to get home (my drive is aboit 1.5 hours), but how can you walk out when the Beavs are on the cusp of their first pac12 win.
Most of the early departed were angry’s favorite fans, the septuagenarians…
they needed to get home in time to watch the 11:30pm rerun of Matlock and drink their ensure
They probably don’t need to make that TV date. I imagine most of them have that complete series on VHS.
