No way, at least they won national titles, had heismans, etc. Utah has had nothing, yet act like they’re the shit. They were just bullies in a weak conference, and the Pac will dominate them over time.
Now that I think of it, I’m pretty sure Kolby Taylor is also a December enrollee. Could be another 2016 guy rather than 2017. If he’s healthy, I think he’s a steal in this years group.
Broke it during 2015 season towards end of year. Then, after getting back on the practice field, got the same leg rolled up on during summer drills and broke it again, just prior to 2016 season.
I only saw Arizona a few times and they looked horrendous. I’m basing it off that, us being at home, and OSU being in most games with good effort. Could be totally wrong.
Their right side of the oline is out as is their best D player and their RB, they are using WR for running backs at this point. This is the “who has the best backups game”. I too am nervous, it seems like a trap to me.
I am thinking OSU won’t have the offensive consistency or defensive depth to win this one.
Enjoy Decoud’s last two games. There’s a guy I wish had one more year. Not just to make what should be a good D even better – jeez the CBs would be lockdown – but for him to enjoy some success that I think will come to a young defense that has game experience, talent, is not injury-depleted, and likely benefits from some JC influx.

Getting aweful uppity with that win at Utah. Who on the team is going to get a felony tonight? Your team is a kiddie rape and a murder away from a royal flush.
He’s made a couple of NFL type plays with continually scanning the field and finding secondary options at the last second. Most pro QB’s don’t want to run and don’t want to get hit because they would like to have a career.
I bash the P-12 Network a lot, but the announcers tonight aren’t bad, they seem to have actually prepped. I didn’t catch the very beginning. Who are they?
It was an obvious play also. You know the RB is not getting the ball being back 9 yards deep and once Boldin went in motion at full speed and tight to the line, you could guess fly sweep. I also hate fly to the short side in most cases.
Love GA’s interviews on both PAC and radio; same as when aunt patty says he doesn’t want to get fined but so much more classy. Chappell was trying to keep the QB up and probably got schooled by a quick thinking acting job. Live n Learn.
His arm was hooked around, couldn’t let go. You can tell he is trying to slow down and get away. The refs have to start doing a better job. They messed up the chop block (offensive lineman was disengaging), the defensive delay of game (lineman moved laterally and they are allowed to talk to make shift calls), that bs late hit call, etc. Happy that the team is fighting through this terrible officiating.
Pretty good half…. need to keep grinding and win the second half, finish strong. I don’t expect McMaryion to throw 90%completion but need another 7-10 completions to keep the defense guessing.
Reading some of their local papers today, it seemed like they are in a situation we had at the end of Rileys run with richrod. Lots of fans want him gone, but the media loves him and is making excuses for him.
He was a jack-of-all-trades but master of none guy last year. He lined up everywhere. Probably trying to figure out what to do with him. This year he’s been absent kind of like villimin.
I kind of thought that was a good opportunity for Choukair to try a FG that was more than a chip shot. He if makes it, it’s a nice confidence thing and a 4 TD lead. John Madden would be rolling over in his grave (I know he’s not dead yet) with the way coaches don’t take points these days and going for two when it’s not necessary.
At least there will be more options. McMaryion will be an upperclassmen. Moran will have been in the program for 1-1/2 years and not redshirting (hopefully he won’t have to play in the CW), Luton as a JC xfer, Garretson will be a senior.
All better than the options the previous two seasons we’ve had (we hope)
He seems to be a very cerebral QB. I swear it looked like he threw that last slant on purpose because he could see the defender all over the receiver’s back and knew he should get a PI call. And I know Zona has a shitty defense but you still have to make the throws.
Honestly, I think the coaches are watching Luton rack up stats at a pretty ridiculous pace and they probably need to posture a bit to make sure he doesn’t get poached. I’m amazed Dykes hasn’t offered him yet.
McM looked awesome tonight, and the receivers made great plays to help him all night.
Shit, three hour game. It’s nice when a team can run the ball effectively. They were really using the clock also. Very 72 Dolphins tonight. Two effective running backs and mostly strategic passing.
That one horrible offensive 3 and out in our own endzone aside, offensive playcalling was great tonight, and so was McMaryion. Ducks will be feeling overconfident after the Utah win, and I think the streak gets broken next Saturday.
Best part is that we had a TON of recruits watching that performance.
I didn’t pay close attention, does the TE even run any patterns in this offense or is it max protect on every pass play? It would be nice to slip Wily-Matagi out on a screen or something against the Ducks unless it’s too big of a liability. It’s kind of bizarre to consider the offense plays with one less skill player than most teams.
Next year we’ll have Togiai and transfer Quinn Smith, along with Matagi. Would be nice to pick up a TE commitment this weekend from Carson Terrell, but I also think he’s a mission candidate. He seems to really be enthusiastic about the Beavs though, so he might be a guy to keep an eye on.
Nice, the wife and I are thinking about cutting the cord and go to the streaming thing. We pay a lot for a ton of channels we don’t watch. At this point it doesn’t seem worth it to keep cable if I can get pac12 on a stream somewhere.
It’s going to be cleaner and more efficient in the future, more so than it is now. So you might as well change to it now and learn all the interfaces and not spend on a set top unit.
But it will likely cost as much as cable within a year or two. Or you will get substandard service and interruptions if you use products that refuse to negotiate with the monopsonies created when net neutrality is shot with malice.
I use sling also, just for football games. I had an issue with games not being available today. I called them and they said they updated the software for Android users and were working on it. Half an hour later it was good to go. The guy actually sounded like an American too, pretty rare these days. Overall, I’m happy with them.
Try googling “ATDHE” and explore the family of sites you get. Keeps shifting as to which one is best to watch the Beavs, but I’ve only had to rely on Internet radio maybe three times the last couple years.
Nice, do you stream it on a laptop? Is there anything you have to download?
I have the kodi app on my Kindle TV and use the ares wizard to load different builds on it. There were a couple that had the pac12 early in the season but they all went down so I had to look elsewhere.
Nothing you have to download. Totally free except for battling the ads. I have AdBlock, but you see the squares with an X to delete. So I just delete three or so ads (have to be done in order, but you’ll discover that), and then you get the game.
If one site in this family doesn’t behave well, just go to another. Occasionally you have to shop around in that way.
Works for pro/college football, basketball, and other sports, and soccer worldwide. Enjoy!
To me it’s interesting that 2 different guitar players have a solo playing the same thing and their interpretation is so different. Never have decided which I like the best.
Every musician will play a piece differently. This is where “feel”, “style”, and “groove” come into play. It’s why even noted music like Mozart has so many interpretations, and we’ll never know how it truly sounded (i.e. no recordings) when he played it.
Did anybody else think our offense looked the best that has looked in the GA era, after Bolden was knocked out of the game, and with Seth sidelined already.
It’s like we no longer felt like we had to force feed the ball to two guys and started to spread the ball around more, with plenty of straight up the gut running plays.
Maybe it’s just that Arizona is that bad, but thought Bolden was reckless tonight when he was in there, and the team settled down with him out.
Yeah, but it’s just 1 game so it’s hard to say.
Passes to Collins always seem like a waste. They’re always short where they hope he breaks it yet he never does. A lot of wasted downs with that type play. Without that option, more guys were involved on better routes.
I didn’t get to watch the game, but that was good win. This team needed a blowout win against a D1 school. It just validates their hard work. Interesting that that reception average is so high. Was McM making a bunch of long passes or were there a lot of yac? Nice to see Villamin finally break out, hope he keeps it up another week.
His move on that play was great if I am remembering the right play…was heading inside, broke it back outside and was so wide open it was ridiculous.
that’s the kind of stuff that can really hurt a terrible Duck D that struggles to implement Hoke’s system. They’ll likey watch for it, but it sets them up for something else.
Great win last night. Helps with recruiting and fans buying in. GA has kept the players faith through the struggles.
Badger friend with me at the Northwestern game yesterday took a shot at GA yesterday. “Glad he is gone.” I reminded him that Dave Aranda was brought there by GA and turned a good D into a great D. I told him that OSU is very happy he ditched the Badgers, he hates it when I say that, and although the record looks bad, the play and players are much better. AZ score validates that.
Just re-watched the game. McM was really really good. Great clock management, great spreading it around, great long balls, great short balls, plus he throw one away showing great QB intelligence. Our offense opened holes you could drive a truck through. Villy came back to life. Pierce is getting better every game and will be just as threatening as Nall in the future. Very happy for this TEAM having their season look effort pay off. We are a tough team with a bright future.
I thought the comment about clock management by GA was interesting, they literally almost ran the clock down to zero on every play. I’m not sure if they did that against Wazzu and Cal (especially when they had big leads).
They conscientiously were going to give Zona as little time as possible to score points. The Beavs only had 8 possession the whole game. I like the thoughtful strategy, of course if you can’t make a few first downs running, it’s not going to work.
It will work if the QB has an eye on game management. MM did that very well for the first time ever last night. He even gave on the option and faked well enough to draw the end a couple times. Brought a couple tears of joy.
Got the O lined up and ready. Checked the play. Checked his reads. Looked over to the side a couple times for audibles because he saw something, and he had time because he was managing the game.
I sat in the Terrace last night and man it was amazing! Padded fat theater seats, large heaters to stand under if you get cold, free Beaver Dogs passed out, free Beaver gear, free candy, beer (gotta pay for that), bar tables to hang out, kids chasing extra points, all kinds of good food…Best game experience I’ve had including Club and anywhere else in Reser, and I’ve sat all over. The only negatives are to many 30 ish guys getting shitfaced and behaving poorly, and you have to walk to the main concourse for the restrooms. Oh yeah, and tickets aren’t cheap. I highly recommend you go if you get the chance.
Anyone else notice that OSU has not worn black helmets this year? It is because they lack all branding. Made no sense to GA and was why he added beaver logos to the orange helmets.
Black helmets should make their debut this Saturday when the Civil War slump ends & they should do so with beaver logos. Beavers are on the rise.
First!
Take that, savages.
Ps. Glad Oregon won. F Utah. Most delusional fan base.
What…? Is it fair for Angry to be first, after starting the thread? I want a replay.
#NeverHole
I’d take Nebraska as the most delusional over Utah any day.
No way, at least they won national titles, had heismans, etc. Utah has had nothing, yet act like they’re the shit. They were just bullies in a weak conference, and the Pac will dominate them over time.
First! From deep in the Midwest!
First?
Nope
We have some really good WR recruits in this upcoming class
a. hopefully they qualify
b. hopefully they don’t moonlight as masons
Now that I think of it, I’m pretty sure Kolby Taylor is also a December enrollee. Could be another 2016 guy rather than 2017. If he’s healthy, I think he’s a steal in this years group.
He broke his leg, right? I bet that scared everyone off so OSU should hang on.
Broke it during 2015 season towards end of year. Then, after getting back on the practice field, got the same leg rolled up on during summer drills and broke it again, just prior to 2016 season.
Yes he is!
I hope man we need them
I rarely see masons dropping bricks. Bricks are money. I think I recall a story about Jerry Rice moonlighting as a mason when he was young.
Sorry to say I have no faith in this team against a good rushing attack. Arizona wins, and it won’t be close.
I have to agree. Too many injuries as well. All I hope for is McM and Nall to remain healthy throughout. Hope we win, but a loss wouldnt surprise me.
I only saw Arizona a few times and they looked horrendous. I’m basing it off that, us being at home, and OSU being in most games with good effort. Could be totally wrong.
Against UW, they looked prett competent. I think being down to their 3rd string QB really hurt them. Just our luck, their #1 and #2 guys are back now
Their right side of the oline is out as is their best D player and their RB, they are using WR for running backs at this point. This is the “who has the best backups game”. I too am nervous, it seems like a trap to me.
Just our luck, their #1 and #2 guys are back now
Luck o’ the Beavs is real.
Wonder how many Oregon fans were rooting for a loss, the sooner to fire Coach.
Beavs win tonight
Go Beavs!! I think we win tonight. 31 Beavs 27 Arizona.
Colorado fans rush the field after their win over aunt Patty. Did they clinch the South or something?
Nope. If they win next week vs Utah or if USC loses today they clinch it.
Mannequin challenge, free glow sticks? How can Beavs lose?!?
https://twitter.com/BeaverDam
I am thinking OSU won’t have the offensive consistency or defensive depth to win this one.
Enjoy Decoud’s last two games. There’s a guy I wish had one more year. Not just to make what should be a good D even better – jeez the CBs would be lockdown – but for him to enjoy some success that I think will come to a young defense that has game experience, talent, is not injury-depleted, and likely benefits from some JC influx.
Texas loses to a putrid 1-9 (now 2-9) Kansas team. Charlie Strong’s seat is so hot, it’s gonna fuse to his butt. Don’t think he survives this one.
Strong needs to put out is coordinator resume again, he ain’t coaching Power 5 football ever again.
Racist.
Really?
IT’S A JOKE!
I knew it was a joke!
Such a racist joke
Looks more like a purple fatty.
31-30 Beavs. Even with the skeleton crew. McM has his best game.
First
31-24 Beavs can’t score more than 24. Cats win.
30th!
Last!
Never ceases to amaze how coaches do dumb shit during games. Thank you Pat Fitzgerald for being a bigger dummy than Tracy Claeys.
Kenny Jacoby better watch his back after penning this piece. He might be next to break a limb in a “fall”

No… Clockwork Orange was phallic, cool and… well… orange was in the name.

At least they already have a bunch of toilets.
Nall playing…chances of W are higher….
over/under on how many rushes he has before leaving the game injured
4
At least for the 3 or so plays he’ll stay in
Villamin TD?!!!
Cool
Wow, arizona d is bad, lol
Villiman back from the dead for s long score
He ate more carrots this week.
Why is it delay of game when we do that, but two weeks ago against WSU they shifted all game causing multiple false starts for us???
Luck O da Beavs of course.
Good stop. Now gotta score. Pedal to the metal.
Uncle Patty can “stem” all he wants, Beavs try it and get called for a penalty.
Aunt
I think anus olomen is going to be let loose at some point. I’m having flashbacks from last year.
Coaches are Wrecking Nall by running him every freaking play
New theory. Mcm is scared to run. (Pending review)
I still think he might be scared
McM looking good.
Play calling is too. Lots of easy throws and concentrated on run.
Showing emotion tonight.
He’s made a couple of NFL type plays with continually scanning the field and finding secondary options at the last second. Most pro QB’s don’t want to run and don’t want to get hit because they would like to have a career.
Awesome play by Decoud to just stand there and watch the guy catch the ball
I think he thought it was going to be overthrown. Looked like he was looking for a pick, and not defending the pass.
Out coaching AZ so far.
Decoud has to do better on that play, interception waiting to happen. Looks like they are going after Solomon, I hope they get him a few times.
I doubt Solomon finishes this game.
And as if on que, Anus Oloman is out.
That is by far the most blatant facemask I have ever seen. Of course the Pac refs missed it.
How ’bout that facemask on Caleb!!
I bash the P-12 Network a lot, but the announcers tonight aren’t bad, they seem to have actually prepped. I didn’t catch the very beginning. Who are they?
The big bald dude is an ex-arizona lineman.
Ted Robinson was an embarassment last week, sloppy and you could tell he could have cared less about the game.
Bad call by OC.
retarded even.
Yup, really stupid call at that spot on the field and it was a safety.
Wow. Some crap play calls.
Better to take a safety with that field position IMO. Give up 2, but much less likely to give up 3 or 7 a few plays later.
Predictably, giving UA the ball at our own 40 leads to a touchdown. Should have taken the safety and then made them drive the field.
Woman with the unicorn in the Ice Breakers gum commercial has the crazy eyes
Woman has the crazy eyes
FTFY
Finally, we have a way to decide between our co-offensive coordinators:
Whoever called that Bolden sideways run is NOT the offensive coordinator anymore.
It was an obvious play also. You know the RB is not getting the ball being back 9 yards deep and once Boldin went in motion at full speed and tight to the line, you could guess fly sweep. I also hate fly to the short side in most cases.
So tired of seeing the fly go to the short side!!
Defense playing with some BALLS….in spite of the TD.
Does Arizona have speed at receiver? I don’t get why the corners are playing so soft?
I said it the other day. I’d rather play against Solomon versus Dawkins.
Beavers > Anus and the D(awkins)
Hernandezzzzzzzzzzz what a catch.
that was a great catch
McM 2 TH 4 TD
Nice!
That’s got to make sportscenter.
Nice grab
TIMMAY!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timmy_and_the_Lords_of_the_Underworld#/media/File%3ATimmy_and_the_Lords_of_the_Underworld.jpg
That was a good play call
That was Sportscenter Top 10 worthy.
Timmy reminds me of Mullaney. Catches everything thrown at him.
But usually in a seated position.
McM 9 of 10 for 142 and 3TDs.
Can’t wait to hear the analysis of that guy who said he’s not a D1 QB.
Might argue Arizona doesn’t have a D1 defense :)
We will see about the coaching now. With Dawkins coming in …
Secondary is not playing the pass particularly well. Beavs need a turnover.
Fucking stupid play Chappell
It looked the runner was pulling him a little, but you have to know where you are and just fall off to the side.
Love GA’s interviews on both PAC and radio; same as when aunt patty says he doesn’t want to get fined but so much more classy. Chappell was trying to keep the QB up and probably got schooled by a quick thinking acting job. Live n Learn.
It was definitely a flop by Dawkins
His arm was hooked around, couldn’t let go. You can tell he is trying to slow down and get away. The refs have to start doing a better job. They messed up the chop block (offensive lineman was disengaging), the defensive delay of game (lineman moved laterally and they are allowed to talk to make shift calls), that bs late hit call, etc. Happy that the team is fighting through this terrible officiating.
This is one of the quieter game threads i can remember
Lack of a weekly pick ’em?
Very little to be Angry about……..the game thread on Happybeavs has 400 posts.
Right on!!!
I would really like to see the defense stop Zona quickly on their first possession. I think it could be a big difference maker in the game.
Your wish is my command.
What year is Dawkins? I like what I’ve seen from him so far, for the most part
Not me! He’s a handful.
http://www.ourlads.com/ncaa-football-depth-charts/roster/oregon-state/91648
from the start of the year I think..
Nice to see Chappell get a big hit as a follow up to the penalty ending the first half.
How is that not targeting?
PAC 12 refs are garbage. That’s so obvious.
Just another example of the officials being biased towards Arizona tonight.
Not the high road, but I wouldn’t hold a retaliation hit against that guy against anyone.Let people punk you, and they will.
Agree, but W W GA do? We may find out in the next half hour.
He won’t order anything. It’s the kind of thing a player needs to do on his own once the game is about decided. Preferably a second stringer.
You are correct.
Pretty good half…. need to keep grinding and win the second half, finish strong. I don’t expect McMaryion to throw 90%completion but need another 7-10 completions to keep the defense guessing.
Trayvon………noice. lotsa firsts tonight.
McM with a 4th TD throw.
Perfect start to the 2nd half!
Good shit!!
Arizona is awful. Wouldn’t take a whole lot from this game so far. Oregon is a few steps above UA.
Yup, ucks QB seems to be coming around.
Mcm looking really good tonight. Is this his break through game?
Villamin is eating the cats for dinner
Billy decided to pull his head out tonight…thankfully.
7 of 8 on third down? Nice stat
Any big recruits at this game? This should help a lot.
Don’t know if any are big time, but I saw on the ticker there was supposed be like over ten recruits coming to this game.
OK, I’ve seen enough Nall for tonight.
Anyone else think Paul Lucas transfers out?
No loss really. Lots of hype and nothing to show for it.
At least the UA fans aren’t completely blind homers:
“What was Jones thinking there. That just makes us look like shit heads playing dirty because we suck”
Reading some of their local papers today, it seemed like they are in a situation we had at the end of Rileys run with richrod. Lots of fans want him gone, but the media loves him and is making excuses for him.
Sorry cats, there’s only one Nebraska.
Nice play crawford.
It was a great play. Perfect, actually.
Sign of good coaching in the secondary.
OTOH, Az DB not looking for the ball resulted in Arnold’s TD.
Ooops, meant Hernandez’s TD
Re Lucas transfering: then he runs for a first down, lol.
Wasn’t Lucas originally a receiver or am I thinking of someone else. Why use him at RB next year? Develop him at receiver.
He was a jack-of-all-trades but master of none guy last year. He lined up everywhere. Probably trying to figure out what to do with him. This year he’s been absent kind of like villimin.
What?? A QB draw for 10!!!
McMaryion keeper for a first down?! *mind blown*
That can’t be since “he’s slow and never runs”.
He never makes a decision to run…he only runs when that is the play that’s called.
Really “smart” calls. One frigging QB, the game is in the bag so they start calling QB keepers. Smart??? FUCK NO!!!
Probably trying to show the Ducks some stuff for next week.
It was stupid, but that’s likely the reason.
But wouldn’t you want to break that out against them since they won’t be ready for it?
You could look at it either way. Now the Ducks have to prepare for McM running.
I’m not convinced that risking him getting hurt makes it worth it.
Isn’t Tim Cook a senior, seems a little shitty that he’s not getting any carries, unless he’s injured.
So True!
Agree, give the guy some touches. He’s been good.
Hopefully Mr. Cook’s career works out to be the same as Terron Ward. Under used/appreciated in college but making it as a pro.
Almost seems like a dog house situation or not practcing well.
Need to rest the starters now. (Or whomever started this game)
Yeah. Who is the relief QB?
He’s in the hospital.
Is Blount out? I missed that if he is.
A bad hand.
Moran, and they’re not going to remove a redshirt.
Fuck that. Keep scoring Simple Jack.
Nall doesn’t need to be in there…. he is way past his born-on-date.
I kind of thought that was a good opportunity for Choukair to try a FG that was more than a chip shot. He if makes it, it’s a nice confidence thing and a 4 TD lead. John Madden would be rolling over in his grave (I know he’s not dead yet) with the way coaches don’t take points these days and going for two when it’s not necessary.
Pat Fitzgerald today.
That’s it keep running injury prone Nall. WTF!?!?!?!?!
Get Nall outta there!
It’s not targeting because it’s in the course of the play?
Terminology is wrong. It’s not “Targeting”, it’s “Diving into the defender”. And it’s not “Referees”, it’s “Blind men in stripes”.
Last time the Beavs won the CW they were wearing the Bras!?
Those were really bad.
I’ll bet uncle phil and the nike employees are still laughing about that uniform.
Not sure phil is laughing at all these days!
And the announcer was all those unis were great. Wtf only if you like bras
Nothing on the fake??? That was great, timmay with the pump fake, awesome.
Holy crap I think RichRod has officially lost his marbles O_O
He was asking the Ref’s where the closest In-N-Out is.
Richrod- you guys got assisted suicide up here right?
Richrod with the mental breakdown on live tv. IT’S ALWAYS THE SAME, IT’S ALWAYS THE SAME, IT ALWAYS THE SAME.
He looks like a muppet
Lol, he does.
Good to see the WRs doing some blocking on that run.
Gotta love the downfield blocking on that TD!
So we have tangible progress.
3 wins vs 2 last year, and 2 of them in conference.
A 4th win would be a nice cap to the year, but I see reason to be very optimistic next season as they get more bodies.
My biggest concern about next season is the OC will make Garretson the starting QB.
At least there will be more options. McMaryion will be an upperclassmen. Moran will have been in the program for 1-1/2 years and not redshirting (hopefully he won’t have to play in the CW), Luton as a JC xfer, Garretson will be a senior.
All better than the options the previous two seasons we’ve had (we hope)
Time to put in the second string and look for the dirty cat, if you know what I mean
Is that like a rusty trombone?
Probably more like a Tony Danza
Lol the announcers: “I think the beavers might have found their QB of the future.” *crickets*
GA has about had it with the shitty P-12 officiating. So much different than Smilin’ Doofus
Where can we watch GA’s post game interview?
Does PAC or OSU air that?
I listen on TuneIn Radio
Link??
Look for the TuneIn app. That’s all that works for me on tablet/mobile
And search for Oregon State IMG
Post game audio is here now:
http://www.osubeavers.com/news/2016/11/20/football-oregon-state-arizona-post-game-audio.aspx
That’s what I use
GA still didn’t praise McM too much in that post game interview. They’re looking for every reason not to play him and not admit McGiven messed up.
Yup. McM is buried on the bench next year. Even with a CW win.
It seems that way. They just don’t want to give him credit. He now has a 300 yard game and a 5TD game, both vs Pac-12 competition. Hard to ignore…
He seems to be a very cerebral QB. I swear it looked like he threw that last slant on purpose because he could see the defender all over the receiver’s back and knew he should get a PI call. And I know Zona has a shitty defense but you still have to make the throws.
I know, I was laughing, GA turned is head in a weird way when the announcer was praising McM. I don’t know if he has a chance next year.
It’s very weird…
GA presser…”marcus was masterful”…try again
Honestly, I think the coaches are watching Luton rack up stats at a pretty ridiculous pace and they probably need to posture a bit to make sure he doesn’t get poached. I’m amazed Dykes hasn’t offered him yet.
McM looked awesome tonight, and the receivers made great plays to help him all night.
Nice win! A couple more coulda/woulda/shouldas this year and this team has another 2-3 wins.
….if Mcmaryion were the starter from the beginning of the season perhaps….
We only punted 1 time today. And 1 for 2 on 4th down.
The fake punt worked great tonight.
Shit, three hour game. It’s nice when a team can run the ball effectively. They were really using the clock also. Very 72 Dolphins tonight. Two effective running backs and mostly strategic passing.
And, less than 50 yds in penalties.
From AZ Desert Swarm:
“On the one hand I’m sick of being embarrassed
On the other Oregon State has a track record of getting our head coaches fired”
“Ha! I said I hope RR gets the Stoops Ore St road loss treatment tonight!”
Yikes, turned, they have…
That one horrible offensive 3 and out in our own endzone aside, offensive playcalling was great tonight, and so was McMaryion. Ducks will be feeling overconfident after the Utah win, and I think the streak gets broken next Saturday.
Best part is that we had a TON of recruits watching that performance.
Agreed. Fly sweep in the end zone?
Yeah that was dumb.
Nice win, but something is still bothering me: How the hell did Washington almost lose to that team?!
wasn’t that back in September? Before the injuries started to pile up?
Yes.
Even during the “healthy” time, they lost to BYU and nearly lost to Gambling State
Leg Humpers had a bad game? One game does not make a season. How did the ducks manage to beat Utah in SLC yesterday? It happens
Rathbone has all the videos up:

GA gives McM some praise.
He threw some beautiful long balls tonight and Villamin looked like his old self. Garrettson was not hitting those throws when he was playing.
McM had a good game against UCLA. Tonight was his best game yet. 16 of 19 passing. 265 yards and 5 td’s. Good decisions and accurate throws tonight.
Not only that but he threw TD passes to 5 different guys, only 5 guys caught passes and all 5 had 1 TD
Good to hear GA call McM a game manager AND a playmaker………….per interview with Ron C. on radio.
I didn’t pay close attention, does the TE even run any patterns in this offense or is it max protect on every pass play? It would be nice to slip Wily-Matagi out on a screen or something against the Ducks unless it’s too big of a liability. It’s kind of bizarre to consider the offense plays with one less skill player than most teams.
Togiai is missed
I think togiai is the only one who can catch. With him out we are missing a little something in our offense.
Next year we’ll have Togiai and transfer Quinn Smith, along with Matagi. Would be nice to pick up a TE commitment this weekend from Carson Terrell, but I also think he’s a mission candidate. He seems to really be enthusiastic about the Beavs though, so he might be a guy to keep an eye on.
Lots of talk about guys thinking of Seth tonight; did he contribute to this game more than any other this year?
First day of the Sling app worked perfectly. Went from the Pac12 network over to ESPN to catch the end of USC/UCLA, no hiccups, no lag, nothing.
I’m going to download the networks apps to see if they air football games for free too.
Who is your Internet provider? And Do You Know Your speed?
Charter cable and my connection rips along pretty good.
Just ran the free speed test and it hangs around 50 meg download.
Nice, the wife and I are thinking about cutting the cord and go to the streaming thing. We pay a lot for a ton of channels we don’t watch. At this point it doesn’t seem worth it to keep cable if I can get pac12 on a stream somewhere.
That’s exactly where we are with it. I’ll keep you updated on it.
Poke around on the Sling site, there’s a few options as far as channels go.
You can get away without cable.
It’s going to be cleaner and more efficient in the future, more so than it is now. So you might as well change to it now and learn all the interfaces and not spend on a set top unit.
But it will likely cost as much as cable within a year or two. Or you will get substandard service and interruptions if you use products that refuse to negotiate with the monopsonies created when net neutrality is shot with malice.
I use sling also, just for football games. I had an issue with games not being available today. I called them and they said they updated the software for Android users and were working on it. Half an hour later it was good to go. The guy actually sounded like an American too, pretty rare these days. Overall, I’m happy with them.
Try googling “ATDHE” and explore the family of sites you get. Keeps shifting as to which one is best to watch the Beavs, but I’ve only had to rely on Internet radio maybe three times the last couple years.
Nice, do you stream it on a laptop? Is there anything you have to download?
I have the kodi app on my Kindle TV and use the ares wizard to load different builds on it. There were a couple that had the pac12 early in the season but they all went down so I had to look elsewhere.
Nothing you have to download. Totally free except for battling the ads. I have AdBlock, but you see the squares with an X to delete. So I just delete three or so ads (have to be done in order, but you’ll discover that), and then you get the game.
If one site in this family doesn’t behave well, just go to another. Occasionally you have to shop around in that way.
Works for pro/college football, basketball, and other sports, and soccer worldwide. Enjoy!

To me it’s interesting that 2 different guitar players have a solo playing the same thing and their interpretation is so different. Never have decided which I like the best.
Every musician will play a piece differently. This is where “feel”, “style”, and “groove” come into play. It’s why even noted music like Mozart has so many interpretations, and we’ll never know how it truly sounded (i.e. no recordings) when he played it.
By any chance do you or any other music aficionados out there know the names of the two ax men in this Henley performance of Dirty Laundry?

Imo their renditions are the best I’ve heard.
Did anybody else think our offense looked the best that has looked in the GA era, after Bolden was knocked out of the game, and with Seth sidelined already.
It’s like we no longer felt like we had to force feed the ball to two guys and started to spread the ball around more, with plenty of straight up the gut running plays.
Maybe it’s just that Arizona is that bad, but thought Bolden was reckless tonight when he was in there, and the team settled down with him out.
Yeah, but it’s just 1 game so it’s hard to say.
Passes to Collins always seem like a waste. They’re always short where they hope he breaks it yet he never does. A lot of wasted downs with that type play. Without that option, more guys were involved on better routes.
“Passes to Collins always seem like a waste. They’re always short where they hope he breaks it yet he never does.”
Ahem, 1:02 mark. You must have forgotten

Am I the only person who keeps reading it like “Mc Mary Ion”?
I didn’t get to watch the game, but that was good win. This team needed a blowout win against a D1 school. It just validates their hard work. Interesting that that reception average is so high. Was McM making a bunch of long passes or were there a lot of yac? Nice to see Villamin finally break out, hope he keeps it up another week.
There was both. Villamin had a really nice long TD run on a slant. Timmy had a beautiful long circus catch TD.
Bradford caught a well thrown long ball for a TD as well.
His move on that play was great if I am remembering the right play…was heading inside, broke it back outside and was so wide open it was ridiculous.
that’s the kind of stuff that can really hurt a terrible Duck D that struggles to implement Hoke’s system. They’ll likey watch for it, but it sets them up for something else.
Great win last night. Helps with recruiting and fans buying in. GA has kept the players faith through the struggles.
Badger friend with me at the Northwestern game yesterday took a shot at GA yesterday. “Glad he is gone.” I reminded him that Dave Aranda was brought there by GA and turned a good D into a great D. I told him that OSU is very happy he ditched the Badgers, he hates it when I say that, and although the record looks bad, the play and players are much better. AZ score validates that.
Just re-watched the game. McM was really really good. Great clock management, great spreading it around, great long balls, great short balls, plus he throw one away showing great QB intelligence. Our offense opened holes you could drive a truck through. Villy came back to life. Pierce is getting better every game and will be just as threatening as Nall in the future. Very happy for this TEAM having their season look effort pay off. We are a tough team with a bright future.
I thought the comment about clock management by GA was interesting, they literally almost ran the clock down to zero on every play. I’m not sure if they did that against Wazzu and Cal (especially when they had big leads).
They conscientiously were going to give Zona as little time as possible to score points. The Beavs only had 8 possession the whole game. I like the thoughtful strategy, of course if you can’t make a few first downs running, it’s not going to work.
It will work if the QB has an eye on game management. MM did that very well for the first time ever last night. He even gave on the option and faked well enough to draw the end a couple times. Brought a couple tears of joy.
Got the O lined up and ready. Checked the play. Checked his reads. Looked over to the side a couple times for audibles because he saw something, and he had time because he was managing the game.
It was nice.
I sat in the Terrace last night and man it was amazing! Padded fat theater seats, large heaters to stand under if you get cold, free Beaver Dogs passed out, free Beaver gear, free candy, beer (gotta pay for that), bar tables to hang out, kids chasing extra points, all kinds of good food…Best game experience I’ve had including Club and anywhere else in Reser, and I’ve sat all over. The only negatives are to many 30 ish guys getting shitfaced and behaving poorly, and you have to walk to the main concourse for the restrooms. Oh yeah, and tickets aren’t cheap. I highly recommend you go if you get the chance.
How much are those tickets?
I probably couldn’t afford them, a friend took me and my son with tickets from her work. I really don’t know what they would cost, but a lot…
Anyone else notice that OSU has not worn black helmets this year? It is because they lack all branding. Made no sense to GA and was why he added beaver logos to the orange helmets.
Black helmets should make their debut this Saturday when the Civil War slump ends & they should do so with beaver logos. Beavers are on the rise.
Yay?
Logos on helmets are dumb….don’t ruin the black helmets
