This game is fairly predictable. The Beavs give up almost 200 yards per game on the ground, and Washington has a solid RB, Chris Polk. They'll hand it off 30+ times if the game allows. It might not, though. The Huskies start Nick Montana at QB. Obviously I haven't seen Montana's progress over the past two years, but his HS game film was pedestrian back when he committed. Mark Banker's game plan should be simple: stack the box, make Montana win the game.
If Banker has the sense to do that, I think the Beavs win this game for two reasons:
- Washington's defense is porous. Mannion should have a fun day.
- James Rodgers will have the team fired up for his last home game.
Beavs are looking at a 10 loss season if they drop this one. It would be their first since 1995. Vegas has the line at -2, Washington, but I think that's a (rare) epic fail on their part. This is an ideal match up for the Beavs.
31-21, good guys.
Hmmm… I may be forced to watch this game out of pure boredom if it starts to rain. Otherwise, I would like get some wood split and stacked.
Beavs 45 – Puppies 31
I almost forgot…
It appears the wussification of America has extended to NYC:
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-11-17/columbia-band-banned-from-football-finale-after-mocking-its-own-0-9-team.html#
Mark Banker has no sense, though. He should have stacked the box against Utah or Cal when presented with the evidence to do so, but he let the team down like has since 2008. Langsdorf will stick with his shitty play calls and despite Rodgers heroics we will lose.
45 to 31…
Fuck the Huskies
I also expect Montana to have a break out game against us because he is most likely football smart. All he has to do is pass it to whoever Reynolds is covering. He will throw for 250 yards
I don’t know what to expect from Montana. I disliked his HS film…very much a horizontal/west coast passer…I don’t see much vertical threat, which should help if Banker stacks the box. I just like this match up. You could be right, though. Beavs are a bad team, so will I be at all surprised if they get shellacked? Nope.
I’m thinking this could be a nice situation for another Poyer pick six. Jump that crappy five yard out and take it to the house.
Angry you are giving banker too much credit to actually make a shift on defense I think he comes out with the Cal/Utah/Stanford game plan (get run over and do nothing about it). I mean lets be honest, Banker has not made a single defensive adjustment since that ill fated civil war game that we gave up all of those points.
I think the beavs play hard, being that its the last home game, and dad’s weekend gives them a chance and if the offense can execute they can get it done. But Banker needs to go, guy has the creativity of a slug and he pisses me off.
You guys bring up valid criticisms. Apparently Riley was eying Banker/the defense all week during practice. I have faith Banker gets the message and stacks the box this week (it’s pretty sad he can’t figure that out on his own).
I think the personnel this week being back, particularly Unga will help the situation tremendously.
Agreed. This is Utah all over again (no QB, one-dimensional, one-back running offense) but without Utah’s defense.
If Banker stacks the box, OSU wins easily.
If Banker fails to stack the box, Sarkisian calls out Banker at the post-game press conference, and Banker resigns in disgrace.
It’s all good. Go Beavs!
HI BN… The excitement builds… discounted popcorn… YEA! But, it just gets better! Close out Beaver gear discounted 25%. After this year, who wouldn’t be proud to wear Beaver apparel?
I really feel this is our day. Poyer will be in little Montana’s face all day. Unless, of course, Banker finds a way to make him look like his dad. I’m going with the Beavs to pick up number three. Yippee…. 3-8!
I just saw interviewed Riley on CSN. He seems lethargic and unfocused. Has anyone administered a concussion quiz?
Leaving in a few… those creative promotions should pack Reser. JB
PS: Joe Montana will be in the UW visitor section. If you happen to see him, say “hello”. He is very approachable and loves to sign autographs.
I’m interested to see what USC can do tonight. Size + speed + depth…they could give the Ducks a game. Should be closer than the Stanford game. I’ve thought ASU and USC match up best with the Ducks. Ducks will probably score early/rapidly and force Barkley to pass too much, then pick him off a few times and win by two scores. Robert Woods (USC’s best player) hasn’t practiced much this week…looks like the Ducks lucked out again. If Woods doesn’t play I’m thinking 35-21 Ducks. Probably 35-27 if he does play.
I have to say Stanford had the worst game plan I’ve seen. The ducks loaded up the box sometimes with as many as nine guys and Standford continued to try to run every first and second down with supposedly the #1 draft pick as QB (not sold on that myself, because Barkely is better). USC needs to put up points to stay balance or they will become one demensional in the second and we will see a blowout.
Shaw isn’t a good coach. He will be exposed next season.
Agree on Luck…I actually think he’ll be a disappointment if not an all out bust. I don’t like Barkley, either, though…typical USC QB (Sanchez, Palmer)…he’ll look the part but underwhelm.
Of the Pac-12 QBs, I like Foles best.
Weeden has potential. Overall, this is a pretty weak QB class.
I like Foles too, not sure about Weeden. Last night at one point 16 of his 29 completions were caught behind the line of scrimage but he did throw a couple of really nice balls and the INTs weren’t his fault.
Weeden is 28 years old (played minor league ball)…I think that poise and experience helps him at the next level. He could probably start somewhere right away.
PS. Matt Moore’s been playing very well in Miami…always loved his potential and thought he’d do well if given a chance. He’s a QB who needs to play ahead, though, since he forces bad balls (why does OSU QBs all do this??) when behind or pressured at all.
I don’t know that I would go as far as Phil Simms, but I was not awe-struck by Luck’s arm strength either. This may sound weird, but I was more impressed by some of the throws Ryan Katz made last year.
You give Luck the Beaver offensive line and run game and does he do that much more than Mannion has done with it? Maybe he wins a game or two more with his decisions/experience, but I doubt he would even make the Beavers a bowl team this year.
As many have pointed ou here, Stanford’s lack of speed was exposed and they had absolutely no speed at WR and of course with the charmed life that is the Oregon Duck football program Chris Owusu was out thanks to the Beavs.
“Charmed life” is a good phrase, but “the life of Riley” might be more apropos!
http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/the-life-of-riley.html
It’s probably sour grapes on my part and the Ducks are very, very good, but they seem to catch almost every damn break out there with the schedule. I guess the only time it didn’t work out was when they played LSU and it didn’t matter that Jefferson was out.
Also, you have to give credit to Kelly, I was thinking after the Iowa St/OSU game. Has a Kelly led Duck team been truly upset yet by a lesser opponent? Cal came close last year, but overall it has not happened.
I like that, so It is considered irony that that the Ducks are living the “life of Riley” while Mike Riley not so much?
I’d say that qualifies as irony.
And of course if the Beavs had played USC the year, Woods would have been in the best condition of the season. Love that “Luck O’ the Beavs”
Exactly, he would have just finished a decathlon or something.
Sorry don’t mean to feed the troll, but you know, Pettibone’s DC, Rock Long, knew how to play with a defense that didn’t have the size or atheletes to compete. They brought blitzes from all over to compensate, Banker has barely blitzed all season. – some years ago he actually called blitzes, but I get the feeling he has no faith in these guys being able to handle their assignments (which haven’t changed all year) or he has given up and he pisses presleydog off.
Long is a stud, there was a photo of him in USA Today this week, he looks how a football coach should. His 93-95 defenses played with passion and intensity. If Pettitbone wasn’t a wishbone guy they would have ended the losing steak back then and both of them might still be coaching at OSU. I think one season, the offense scored all of about 130 points while the defense only gave up 240 or so. Can’t win many games averaging 12 points.
One thing to keep in mind, our run defense really went to shit after Unga went down. I guess that means he’s our only MLB who gets it, has the tools, as is supposedly back to full strength. Still have no faith in romaine, 34 (missed xp) – 24. Go beavs!
I didn’t realize Unga is back. He’s a solid player. Was last year, too, and it took the coaches over half the season to get him in the lineup.
I will be watching back seven closer than usual, remember Riley and Banker were “bitching and moaning” that they did stack the box, but it was all of the missed tackles that have caused the huge rushing totals. Either way, I would say tackling technique is also the coaches responsibility. Once again, accountability.
The biggest news of this game is that I scored sideline passes and will be on the lookout for Joe Cool. Man I would love shake that man’s hand. Best qb of all time imo.
The fact that we’re not sure if Banker will know to start out the game stacking the box is reason enough that he should seriously not be the defensive coordinator anymore. I think Mannion will have a nice day against that atrocious Washington defense, but I’m not sure I have enough faith in our coaching staff this year to actually get Oregon State the win. Hopefully tonight we’re all be talking about our big wins over the Huskies and Longhorns.
Beavers will be wearing white pants. I hope they combine them with black tops today. Something we have hardly ever seen and a new take on the Giant Killer look. Then I will be full on into this game!
I liked those helmets from the Pro Combat uniforms last year. I think our best look would be those helmets, white pants, and then either the black or orange home jerseys.
Did Buker ever respond to silverstream’s questons?
He did…saving the questions for after the CW…which seems like an awesome way to ‘forget’ to ask.
Buker will never ask those questions directly unless he knows Riley is on the way out anyway.
Just as well, all Riley would’ve said is, “Jeez those are really good questions that are best left to answer in our post season evaluation.”
Buker printed out the questions and gave them to OSU football staff. Buker has promised to follow up after the Civil War. If Buker forgets, I’ll remind him every day on Twitter until he remembers….
Orange tops with white pant unis today.
Dang it! They are going with the creamsicle look. I like orange tops but that is 3 home games in a row. I wanted some proof that Riley or BDC could step outside their comfort zone and go for a fresh black top/white pant look for our last game with James. Disappointed yet again. Stale as usual. I now don’t give two licks about the game. Let James have his catches and get the record but I could care less about Riley and BDC. Same old bullshit.
I wouldn’t mind seeing them in all Orange and I could pretend they were Clemson for a few mintues.
Hekker’s last home game Angry. You’re gonna shed a tear aren’t you?
Wow, I completely forgot (I was thinking more about the guy I’m going to miss, James Rodgers).
Remmers, too, right? This is an amazing day!
Remmers, Ellis, Johnson, Frahm are all gone.
Angry will kill me, but I have to give Hekker some kudos, he has actually improved for some reason.
He’s been better this year, but I am glad to see him go.
I got the Huskies winning this one 34-20. The coaching staff will figure out how to screw this one up. Nick Montana will look like his dad out there. Banker will make it happen.
tried posting the feed twice but it didn’t show
There’s a beaver dude who streams on JustIn. He was streaming earlier and he had in the header that he’d be streaming the Beavs’ game today. Don’t see him there right now but I expect him to show up.
Streaming Beavs got his wrist slapped for streaming “unauthorized content” so I don’t know if he’ll be back on the air today or not. Some of those guys know how to work around issues like this so let’s hope he’s one of them.
http://www.justin.tv/itsstreamingbeavs/dmca_violation
I will be looking for a stream for hoops. Looks like I struck out with the Verizon wireless option.
http://www.firstrowsports.tv/watch/93060/1/watch-oregon-st.-vs-texas.html
Angry – is that you who’s deleting posts or is your system f*cked up?
Warren Would you attempt to post that link for the football game again please? It was there for a couple of minutes then gone.
These 8v11 games really kill me. Why doesn’t the NCAA let us play with linebackers, like every other team? If we were allowed to have linebackers, we surely would be better versus the run.
I am not sorry at all that I hope the Huskies beat the pants off the Beavers. Any bit of pressure to get Riley and his useless coaching staff fired is what I am shooting for. I am thinking of the future and a chance for not only a winning season, but a shot at Pac 12 champions and a BCS bowl. This will never happen under the Riley regime.
As far as color of uniforms, Riley is trying to leave his legacy at OSU. This is what he is doing:
Doing away with the fighting Beaver
Installing his interlocking OS
Doing away with Black for home games (so what, Ducks are using more black than Beavs)
But the best part of his legacy is Riley’s ability to take OSU’s football program back to dark ages
Remember, what ever Erickson did for OSU football, BDC and Riley want to do away with.
Washington 37 OSU 17
Fightingbeaver
Can Mannion audible? Washington had 8 in the box on that first play, which means one on one coverage…jeez
That’s why I picked UW
Grant Enger was driven 3 yards into the backfield by the D, and made Ward lose like 4 yards on the run. Nice work.
Nice to see James Rodgers get the TD. Love that guy.
Thanks for the link Angry but did you know that your post is now gone? Did you delete it?
Here’s the link again: http://www.firstrowsports.tv/watch/93135/1/watch-washington-vs-oregon-st..html
Running out of shotgun……hm….Langs still calling plays? Of course it will be over used.
Wow. So is the final score going to be 54 to 51 and the team with the ball last wins?
Our LBs never ever ever are involved in tackles. It’s amazing. They just run straight into blocks.
Banker coaches the linebackers. No wonder why they’re so bad
Nice pick but why is Poyer mouthing off to the Washington bench?
Every 1st down, UW has has 8 players in the box. Wonder if we’re predictable?
Seeing some new things with the offense. Langsdorf isn’t calling the plays
Mannion with the hilarious “Block”.
But it worked! :-)
Absolutely no comparison to Lyle M’s famous hit. Lyle pancaked the defender, Sean kinda bumped him.
Still glad to see the play call and Sean’s involvement.
Play calling more like it! Finally, but will it last.
The worst officiating crew of the worst confrence of officials. This should be fun.
That “Roughing” call was so bogus. A shove immediately after the throw? Such weaksauce.
I expect about 150 yards of penalties on us, and…40 on UW.
Jay “strychnine” hates the beavers- he’s even said as much in interviews, but he’s still here.
Link? If that’s true we need to send the interview to Larry Scott.
I saw that TD throw, and was like, “Wait, is that Hatfield? No way…”
Nice catch.
Man, these announcers love Nick Montana. I’m waiting for a completion of more than 5 yards; that’s like the 3rd pass so far to a running back.
Exactly. Everything down field has been bad.
And…another 3 yard pass.
Statue of Liberty well played by Montana. Sark calling plays to put Montana in position to have a good game but I think he has at least one more interception in him.
Blatant hold by that husky on that last play.. ugh…
How can the refs miss holding when it is so obvious?
Combination of the worse refs in CF and anti-beaver bias that Pac12 refs have. Lots of holding by UW missed (ignored/) by refs.
Across his whole body too… these officials must be blind.
On the replay, you could see the ref was looking right at it and do nothing.
Didn’t Montana originally sign with DE and then decide he didn’t want to play football or was that some other famous guy’s son?
That was Elway
I think that was Elway’s kid.
Beavs are always susceptible to reverses and misdirections. They over commit on every play and never have backside contain. Even when their D is “good” it’s a problem.
Combined with poor open field tackling over committing is fatal.
Combined with impressive holds.
Yep. I think it says a lot…these guys don’t trust one another or believe in the player who’s responsible for that area of the field.
Beavers receivers need to start holding on the edge to spring the run. Oregon and now Washington just grab on and don’t let go for the whole play. Apparently it’s legal now.
Oregon, Washington, and every other top tier team… ugh..
Except we usually get called.. even when the other team is more blatant.. its crazy.
Doubt Riley has ever made this an issue with Refs, either during or BEFORE the game. Maybe a question to add to silver’s list…..ha ha.
Not even sure that was a catch.. this officiating crew is horrid.
Damn, how many Trufants are there?
This time it was Grant Johnson who got shoved into the backfield. Nice work.
Tremendous blocking by the offensive line
Mannion GUNNED that pass to Wheaton.
And the blocking has sucked for Ward, but he’s made some people miss tackles, too.
So, Agnew has been benched I take it? Ward has looked good so far.
Stevenson receives the handoff, THEN runs…
I’m glad he figured that out by his senior year.
BS
And…we get called on the WR hold. WTF REFS!!!!!!!!
Truly unbelievable. Whenever the Beavers hold it is called. Washington holds on damn near every play and never gets called for it.
Maybe we shouldn’t wear neon orange, then we wouldn’t stand out so much…
The Ducks get away with that blocking every play.
You guys called. An OSU receiver does the same thing UW and Oregon receivers do on the outside, and of course, only the OSU receiver gets flagged for it.
WOW, a TimeOut called!
Somehow UW hasn’t committed a penalty yet. BS
That’s another massive drop by Jenkins. Had one against UCLA, one I’m forgetting, and now that. Nice work.
I’m so tired of Steve Preece
Suggest you pick up Wilson on the radio.
the video feed sucks. Poor video and it freezes too often, I’m just going to listen to Parker and Wilson and their drivel.
Montana is a joke. Threw the ball clear into the stands from the middle of the pocket. Terrible decision.
Why did frahm stop on that rush? Seemed like the middle was
covered?
facemask on the tackle against James
Damn.
Oh god, James is off that leg. Not good.
Cute play call, but lost like 15 yards.
Oh noooo :(
UW defender led with his helmet and took out his teammate instead.
Poetic justice, asshole.
Please explain how the hit by Poyer against Stanford is a penalty and that last helmet to helmet hit by UW isn’t?
Mannion is just showing off now.
Great throw, nice power behind it.
And…another 1st down run. Who didn’t see that coming?
23 seconds burned between plays there
Mannion needs to learn how to loft the ball over the LBs…everything is on a rope.
Why do they never take their routes past the chains? Pathetic.
Did Riley just ice our own kicker?
Lettuce is about to miss this.
…and our kicker has a nickname! Wife practically peed her pants upon reading that.
Looked on that series like Riley was playing for a FG
From Cliff’s twitter: James Rodgers is being taking on a cart for further examination on his injured left knee.
Ah, thank FSM, the announcer just said it’s a sprained ankle.
NC State beating up on Clemson right now 17-3 with just over 6 minutes left in the first half.
Time of possession must favor Beavs, no excuse of being tired for our D in the second half.
Turns out time of poss is exactly even, however, point still valid since our D was on the field only 5 minutes in second quarter.
Announcers say it is ankle, not knee.
Take the penalty and take one shot on the 3!!! Where’s Bernard when we need him.
TV said James has a sprained ankle.
i’m sure its been posted, but can someone throw a link my way so i can watch the rest of this one?
Check MudandSticks above at 12:54pm, I can’t seem to post link directly. It is working OK for me, a little jumpy
thanks
silverstream: What’s the status of the questions you sent to Buker?
Asked and (sort of) answered above at 11:14 above. I believe silver is at the game.
Craig: Just back from Reser. Buker printed out the list of questions and handed it to OSU football staff. Buker has promised to follow up after the Civil War game.
stack the box in the second half you lame ass Banker.
Hey, the safeties are sneaking up!! Can’t devote too many resources, or the redshirt freshman who can’t throw more than 5 yards will beat us!
Montana has 11 completions for 38 yards. Sick.
Oh, another 1st down run. That’s like 7.
That is just embarrassing blocking.
The entire right side of the line just collapsed. pathetic.
Hey Banker, try putting some players in the FUCKING BOX!
Why can’t we run block?
Perhaps lack of talent on the OL?
Too many on the field. C’mon Read you are supposed to be better than that.
I swear to god Ward looks at his feet when he hits the line.
Is Agnew hurt, or did we just decide we dislike fumbles?
WTF is up with Hatfield?
O.K. Since no one is going to ask w.t.f. I’m talking about – – – Hatfield caught the ball BEYOND the 1st down marker. :-)
ANOTHER helmet to helmet by UW. Can we get some penalties?
They are seriously head hunting.
Husky should be down he led with his fucking helmet.
After the season I hope the staff implements a damn slant into the offense
Mannion really hung in there on 4th down, good call
Ward up the gut? Really?
Stevenson is clearly the best all around back on this team…just play him, Riley!
(That daughter pregnant rumor must be true??)
There was your slant route. INT.
And that was a second straight wabbly throw. Interesting.
Bad decision by Mannion. He can’t force the ball there. Btw, why the hell did the Beavers run the exact same play two times in a row?
And wonderboy coughs it up.
Where the fuck is Gwatchum?
Did that Wash cheerleader look like Tonya Harding??
Mannion better watch his knees.
3&9 from the 9 Mannion throws interception. I cant blame him too much though. Horrible play called. He tried to force it to the only reciever running deep enough to matter. All other options were short of what was needed. Guy was trying his best to make something out of this horrible play call. Why not call a play with other viable options – doh- langsdork!!
Great play by Rashad Reynolds. Montana has to put a mile of air under any throw more than 5 yards.
Reynolds turned his head and played the ball, good job on 2nd down.
Absolutely terrible red zone packages.
We’ve never seen Gwatcham’s huge ass in the corner of the end zone. WTF?
That pisses me off soo much too. They just dont understand how to use him. Obvious red zone asset. Also why noy for sideline quick outs when 3&9 is needed??
Amazing.
That UW receiver wants to die right now.
Lets the ball hit his body, just brutal. Learn to catch.
Unreal.
We really don’t want to win this game. Nice fumble, Joe. Maybe you should bring your A-game against UW someday.
Neither team wants it
That’s at least 2 times in the last few minutes they’ve tossed the ball to Reynolds’ man and Reynolds’ has made the play.
Reynolds is improving. He will be a really good cornerback for the Beavers
Joe H has been a big disappointment. Beavs don’t understand the importance of each possession. Basketball team has the same problem.
well, caught a break there. Let’s see if Captain Interception can lead us down the field!
OK, the game is there for the taking in the 4th qtr. Possession, 3pt lead; for the Beavs this year it doesn’t get any better than that. GO BEAVS !
False start and NOT Remmers!
Wonderboy is begging for another INT.
Is there ever a necessary lack of discipline
?
Gwachum would have had a touchdown if he had any wheels lol
Boooooooooooommmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOOM! and a little nice downfield blocking.
What is with all the Mannion hate? Holy cow.
None of you are allowed to root for him in 2 years when he’s 1st team all Pac12 and a 1st round draft pick.
I agree… go freshman go!
I’m definitely not one of them. He’s a redshirt freshman. I knew he would have lots of ups and downs. It happens. I think we can better judge him next year. I think he will have a big year.
I’m not one of them either. I’m sold. I agree he’ll be a first round draft pick.
Right now he has two issues:
1. INTs/bad decisions
2. No touch/loft over the LBs
Nice shot of a nice cut by Jovan.
WTF?! Obum, Jovan? Touchdown? Can this board just take over as OC now?
I’ve been saying this for a year or so, but Gwachum needs to put on 20lbs and move to TE. He’s Antonio Gates LE.
WFO called for Gwatchum. I nominate WFO for the OC job!!
Danny has been doing a phenomenal job.
Angry is right, Boom is a TE….my god he was slow
Beavers making plays now.
God Bless D.Wynn! Now go for the throat!
WYNN BABY WYNN!
Go for the fucking kill now riley you sap
Stevenson with his second rushing touchdown. He’s playing really well. Always liked him as a player. He had a bad fumble last week, but he’s clearly the best RB.
I don’t f*cking believe it. Great job guys!
Stevenson looked good there. Decent blocking and he might be our winner.
Dang…..we are gonna win this one…. better if we dont.
I don’t know how you can call yourself a Beaver if you every root for your team to lose. Your a disgrace to the Beaver Nation. Despite you wanting the coaching to change, its important for recruiting and these kids to win games like this.
Shut up SadBeaver. People root for programs in different ways, and smart people recognize that you sometimes need to take a step back to take two forward.
This game is big for recruiting…. hope they keep tacking more on!
Yeah. Now if only Riley could recruit.
That’s why we need a good game… he can’t… so the win may help in some morbid way.
Nobody can recruit to corvallis. Just ask Pat Casey.
Got to keep working as if it was a tie game, don’t let up!
Is it me or is the D looking better this half. Did we actually make some adjustments at half?
Well, Washington kind of hurt themselves. UW’s TE dropped a possible touchdown and they had a missed field goal.
In a bar in seattle, they’re getting quiet.
Go get Nick!
We are winning now so let’s just relax… Riley brain washed idiots.
Darius Powe likes the idea of joining forces with Malik Gilmore. Powe is a stud so I hope we get him. Those guys to add into the mix with Mannion would be formidable.
UW decided that “Son of Joe” wasn’t good enough, and put their injured starter back in. Good call. Nick sucks.
I understand why people want the Beavs to lose, but personally I don’t feel right rooting against them. Let’s just hope they win and Riley makes the necessary changes or retires. This win is huge for recruiting, as mentioned.
I can never root for them to lose a game. I don’t understand actually rooting for them to lose. I want the Beavers to win every single game.
I won’t ever root against them (just not my nature), but I don’t understand the animosity towards those who see the big picture. Sometimes you gotta take a step back to take two forward.
Price getting all hype but his team is down double digits………
Hey, my 31-21 prediction! Let’s see if it holds.
I’d feel better if it was 38 – 21
Chricton, wynn, poyer, reynolds gonna be gveryood next year.
Good thing price didn’t start!
Unbelievable
Not quiet here now…
Bet it is again now! :D
Ryan Murphy with the play of the game
How bout now?
Murphy!!!!
More of that guy.
Also, Cooks probably shouldn’t return kicks if he can’t take a big hit.
I’m just hoping Cooks didn’t get hurt on that play.
Under review..get the fucking play off quickly!
What a throw and catch. Love that the Beavers got aggressive from their own end zone.
Wow Wheaton makes an nfl catch…
That was an amazing throw. Perfect aim.
Perfect long ball. In stride.
USE CLOCK
Seriously. Run the ball here what the hell.
Wow an actual hole to run through… wow
Stevenson seems to be making better cuts when he’s running. His jump cuts look like a thing of beauty right now.
Beavs need to play for2ore td’s, go into next week on a high note.
York. Love that guy.
Maybe OSU would be better off if they left Gwatchum as a WR. TE’s are supposed to be able to block. :-)
It’s good to get a little momentum going into Civil War. The only thing better than a win at CW in my humble opinion would be if the Duck’s bus crashed on the way up I-5 causing Chip Dip Kelly to fly through the windshield and splatter his ass all over the pavement. Also, I don’t care if that makes me a bad person.
SHAME ON YOU. :-)
Why would the ucks be riding a bus up I-5 again?
Forget it, he’s rolling
I like OSU rotating RBs. Riley must not be making the substitution calls cuz that’s not his style.
Another false start and not Remmers.
Andrews taking the title from Remmers. Someone’s gotta carry on the tradition
Another CRAZY wabbly pass.
Pass was tipped?
Receiver was interfered with before the ball was tipped
That was a break… was that pass tipped?
Nice to catch a break on a PI call once this season.
A FG will do no good, got to use all 4 downs to try for TD.
COME ON OL BLOCK!!!
Identical situation to last week…Stevenson decides to grab the ball before hitting the endzone this time. Thank God lol.
Nice block by York!
And even Remmers. Choke, hack. Didn’t think I’d ever be saying that.
Guy makes a play and you can’t even support him in good grace. Don’t want you on my flank.
Yes, I like York’s motor. 69 pulled and moved well but didn’t really hit anyone.
Riley showing some balls there… I would have thought he would have gone for the FG.
He really has nothing to lose. Didn’t surprise me that he went for it.
Stevenson’s a nice complimwntary back,.not a real threat though (e.g. CW game).
I love how a guy from OSU cant even recognize that its not Mary’s peak but the cascades instead. lol.
Should be a flag on the UW OL.
And…Montana is back in. They didn’t like scoring, apparently.
Give McCants a carry
Seriously.
That was a badass sack.
Did this last year here… Seniors going off the roster this year:
15 Catchings, Darrell WR 6-0 178 SR
5 Collins, Cameron LB 6-2 238 SR
74 Ellis, Burke OG 6-5 292 SR
74 Frahm, Kevin DT 6-3 281 SR
96 Glover, Dominic DT 6-3 279 SR
87 Halahuni, Joe TE 6-2 255 SR
17 Hardin, Brandon CB 6-3 216 SR
7 Hekker, Johnny P 6-5 221 SR
70 Johnson, Grant C 6-4 293 SR
61 Lamb, Michael OG 6-3 290 SR
24 McCants, Ryan RB 6-1 225 SR
10 Mitchell, Lance S 6-2 207 SR
66 Motter, Ben DT 6-5 285 SR
36 Parish, Josh LB 5-11 219 SR
57 Perry, Marcus LS 5-11 230 SR
50 Remmers, Mike OT 6-5 303 SR
1 Rodgers, James WR 5-7 188 RS SR
Hardin will be back I think.
I’ll really miss James. That’s about it.
For some reason I thought Halahuni was a junior.
Of those guys, I’ll miss Rodgers and Marcus Perry…and maybe Lance Mitchell
Big difference between how Riley shook hands with the WSU coach vs how he shook hands with the UW coach. Looked to me like real bad blood between Riley and WSU coach.
I think Sark is actually a good guy and I think Riley respects him.
Wulff is still mad about that Canfield to Adeniji TD back in ’08. Sark is an okay guy…slimy on the recruiting trail, though.
Man our DE’s are gonna be good next year… now hopefully we can get our interior linemen healthy and get some more depth.
If Fred Thompson didn’t get injured the Beavs would probably have an extra win or two. If they can team him up with Salt next year…
If the Beavers can land Salt the defensive line will be a beast next year. The linebackers will be a key next season. Doctor and Unga will be two of the three starters, but who’s the third starter? Akuna? It better not be Robinson. They will need to be much better next season. If the linebackers can get it together next season and the Beavers get Salt than I will have some hope for the defense.
No, I don’t think Akuna will be seeing the field any time soon. He’s slow to learn the playbook and adjust.
I think Welch would be the 3rd LB. Or, should be…
That’s a pretty good defense. The DTs killed us this year. So undersized…you just can’t win with bad DTs. Salt (or an equally dominant JC) is the key recruit. The past few signees look like B-listers, though, so that’s a bad sign.
The young guys played well today. Future is bright with a lot of guys. Hopefully the coaching staff doesn’t stunt their development.
The Beavers got the Ducks next. Hopefully they can keep it relatively close.
Anything can happen. Look at Iowa State beating the obviously better other OSU. However it will take a perfect game.. so not holding my breath.
With it being Autzen, it makes the game even more difficult.
Agreed, and we will not be able to stop the Oregon run game. But Oregon’s defense can be seriously weak at times. They played out of their minds at the Stanford game. Prior to that it was the offense that carried this team.
Iowa State didn’t have Mike Riley as a head coach…….big difference.
Fightingbeaver
Yeah they have someone much much worse. Have you ever seen them play before? You, sir, are an idiot.
I have a feeling next year will be gut wrenching! They will still be young enough to pull bonehead mistakes and experienced enough to scare people.
I really thought UW was UNDERrated going into this game. We still made all the typical Beaver mistakes: fumbles, INT’s, penalties; but atthe same time we showed real improvment in play calling and players made plays. Creighton with the strip, Murphy’s pick on the goal line, some great long balls that were on target and EVEN caught. It goes to show you though, that with the right coaching and a little more experience (and a few less injuries) we could have been a bowl eligible team this year. I put the poor coaching down as the tipping point this year.
We really SHOULD have been so much better.
There is no way we are better this year unless we had a different O-Line, bar none, the absolute biggest problem with this team.
So here is what we get for the big win over Washington:
After Civil War with ducks, a 3 – 9 season
4 Civil War loses in a row – 2 at home
3rd season in a row with now toilet bowl
Ammo for Riley and coaching staff to stay with no changes
Possible future of same loosing capabilities
A continuing embarrassment to the Pac 12 – we are that now
I hope everyone enjoyed their free popcorn and coffee at the game…..what a joke.
Fightingbeaver
I think with a 3-9 season there will be change. What is the difference between 3-9 and 2-10? They’re both embarrassing.
I understand the frustration and the anger, but Im just a little less fatalistic about our future. Im still hopeful that the poor records two years running is enough pressure to create some changes in the coaching staff in the offseason. Im certain we are stuck with Riley, but I saw a different look on Mikes face on the sideline today and I really hope what I read was his frustration with his own coordinators and PC’s.
I also think we have a quarterback with REAL, GENUINE potential to be all pac12. Im also hopeful that we now have the potential to have a multi back running game instead of relying on the talents of ONE guy.
What we really need is at least one wide out with speed, and obvious improvement in both lines.
and a new DC at a minimum.
I second the thought about RB’s, using York, Stevenson, Agnew, and Ward (along with Wheaton and Cooks on the fly) makes so much more sense than riding one guy to death as has been done in the past (even if that guy is as good as Quizz).
Be realistic here. Washington’s defense sucks. Against any good defense (Oregon) they will shut down the run and it’ll go back to one dimension.
I hope James can play next week. Guessing that’s a negative at this point.
The offense will have issues next Saturday for sure. I doubt anyone thinks the Beavers will light up Oregon’s defense. It was nice to see the offense play well though.
Absolutely.
It was nice to see Ward and Stevenson making pretty good decisions.
Ward still has a long way to go to be an inside runner.He puts his head down and crashes into whatever is in front of him.
Oregon defense is much like ours, sometimes it shows up, and sometimes it doesn’t.
Coming back from turnovers in the second half was a very pleasant surprise to me; I think of overcoming that situation as something done only by a team which “knows how to win”.
Credit the D and some aggressive play calling. Hope James can go against the Ucks.
Wow, Clemson gets it jammed in and the handle broken off.
Fuck me,check out the Wazzu game. Fuckin whiteout.
So many bad seniors will finally be gone.
No shit. See ya walk on starters.
You folks are fos. Thesezseniors have busted their asses on the practice field for years and this is the best you can do? Do tou have the balls to tell them that to their face? As sad beaver noted to another poster, you gentlemen are idiots.
Go Toejams!!!
Regarding the RBs
Stevenson is the guy. Use Ward here and there as a chance of pace, possibly on passing downs. I’d rather see Anderson (than York) at FB…Anderson on wheel routes is a weapon that’s not being used.
No Agnew? Worried about his hammy? fumbles?
Like Riley, I don’t trust him with the ball. I don’t know how a RB goes about getting out of the circular pattern. It’s like a college grad looking for their first job, but all the jobs require experience..i.e. .”how can I gain experience if nobody will give me a job because I lack experience!?” etc. Agnew needs to figure out how to break that….maybe an injury or proving it over and over in practice, but at this point he’s earned the “fumbler” label.
Agreed. Also, Ward runs the draw pretty well; he had that big run early, and has had some good ones in other games. But he looks worse when we run it straight up the middle on first down every time; that will wear you down.
5 TD’s in 7 trips to the redzone, WOW
Back from Reser, mystified by (but thankful for) Sarkisian’s strategy.
If Price was healthy enough to come into the game in the fourth quarter, why didn’t Price come into the game much earlier, before Washington was behind by 17 points? If Price was NOT healthy, why did Sark insert him towards the end, with Washington already behind by 17 points, and having little chance to win — why risk injury to Price at that point? Makes no sense to me….
Luckily for the Beavs, Price didn’t play much, Nick Montana bears no resemblance to his dad, and the Husky defense sucks.
Now, when OSU beats the Ducks next week, the Beavs will be 2011 champions not just of the State of Oregon, but of the Pacific Northwest (having already beaten WSU and now Washington).
Go Beavs!
Devian Shelton was at the game. Need this guy to commit.
Powe and Gilmore were there, too. Good time for the WRs to put on a show.
those three plus Salt and this class would be a major success given our record. What ever happened to Thomas Molesi?
Go Condoms!!!!
Ducks are fumble happy today..
Yeah USC’s offense looks like shit.
More like it.
SC needs to go after those young DBs all night.
Yeah that first touchdown looked good. Darren Thomas playing like crap… Ducks should put in the redshirt freshman.. he is a better quarterback.
Agree. Benett is a gamer.
Kinda quiet in Autzen.
And the ducks actually get called for a hold… wow.. This might be the Trojan’s night.
They get flagged about one in twenty. Their whole perimeter run game is based on gross fuckin holding.
Now we’ll see who can adjust at halftime.
Ducks making lots of mistakes tonight… blocked punts, fumbles, etc.. wow. Also Autzen is Quiet..
And the ducks upset by SC. 35-38, they missed the field goal that would have sent it to overtime with 5 seconds remaining. That was a thriller by the way.
I really think that LSU and Alabama are the 2 best teams in college football. They should be playing for the natty.
And if one of them wins te BCS national championship game it’s because nobody on their team has ever uttered the idiotic ebonics term “natty”.
You sound like a racist douchebag. I didn’t think that OSU still attracted people like you… I guess you might be from the times of William Pierce? Not to insult your favorite physics prof of course…
I used a colloquialism and apparently its ebonics… idiotic ebonics at that.
Nice try dickweed.
“Natty” is an idiotic made up word that has been regurgitated by dipshit 40 year old white boys in white as white gets Eugene fucking Oregon.
While we’re all impressed that you know big words like colloqialism, the fact is that you sound like a buttfuck when you say “natty”,and the brown man can stick up for himself if he finds me offensive.
I like big words, but I’m niggardly with my use of them.
Apparently you have never heard of or seen Arkansas, who always is trouble for LSU. They will be big trouble for LSU this year too.
I am so glad the duuuuuuuucks got stewed in their own Autzen toilet bowl stadium. Black must be the ducks lucky color. Uniforms were black as well as all the drunk idiots in the stands. Oh, by the way………BLACK is the BEAVER color…….awesome and stealthy isn’t it. So the ducks stole OSU colors because they have no respect for their university at all. Arn’t the UofO colors green and yellow? But we all know BLACK is so much better than puke green.
CONGRATULATIONS DUCKS!
Beavers Won their game and OH……..Stanford won their game also. Geeeeeee…………
Duck special……kleenex tissues on sale for duck fans at Walgreens.

I understand that we all dislike the ducks, but maybe if we took a page from their book and started to make creative uniforms, it might help recruiting and our overall image?
but yeah, on the plus side, this narrows the gap between them and us.
I just dislike the ducks wearing Oregon State colors. Do you see USC players and fans wearing light blue, do you see Huskies wearing WSU Red………NO. Basically, if the ducks concentrated on playing football rather than a pussy fashion statement, maybe they could be national champs.
Don’t get me wrong, it would be nice to have different uniform changes with Beavers Black and
Orange. But would you want puke green or yellow adoring our players uniforms or fan wear? I doubt it.
I tell every duck fan I see who is wearing a black hat, shirt, jacket, etc…….THANK YOU FOR WEARING OREGON STATE BEAVER COLORS. It works.

Ducks fell to number 10 in BCS standings.
Just home from Corvallis and am analysing the game with tivo.
Two faults stand out that I know have been mentioned before. Why does our oline seem to be really good at pass blocking while deplorable at run blocking? I played lineman in HS so I know they are somewhat 2 different skill sets but I never remember a disparity this severe. This leads me to believe that our OL aren’t terrible athletes but rather they’re not getting properly coached in run blocking.
My 2nd observation is that our LBs seem hesitant. I don’t mean they’re taking to long to read run or pass, but when they recognize a run they still kinda flutter towards the ball carrier instead of charging in ala Junior Seau.
On a positive note I am in serious love with both Crichton and Wynn. Now that our CBs are looking for the ball, if our LBs can improve just a bit in run support, we could grow into an excellent defense.
It looks like posts are slowing here, I don’t know why, we have a big game coming up Saturday. I think Riley and gang are capable of putting together a winning game plan and getting team prepared, I just don’t know if he will do it. Riley has been so inconsistent this year.
Last year Riley had a week off to prepare for the Civil War game at home and he gave the team 3 days off for Thanksgiving………brilliant ha?
I hope the duckies wear their black uniforms again and their fans wear black, it would make Beavers feel right at home.
Fightingbeaver
If the Beavs keep it within 3 TDs I’ll be utterly shocked. I think the Ducks’ speed on offense will kill us as long as they don’t go away from their bread and butter spread like they did against USC. Also, they should start Bennett, from what I’ve seen (granted against Colorado & WSU) he’s faster and more accurate than Thomas.
Any word on this Kendall Hill recruit? Will he be moved to CB?
Moved to CB is the word. He’s a B-list recruit.
He doesn’t look fast/fluid enough foe CB, too light for safey. Looks like a possesion receiver – Adaneji-like IMO.
Folks, looks like we have a team chemistry issue. I am friends with several of the players and one of the worst kept secrets within the team besides Katz transferring is that one of the true freshmen that has gotten playing time this season is a bit of a diva and not a team player. I don’t want to say his name, so I’ll go the route of a NY Post blind item and say that it’s an offensive player and his brother plays in the NFL. Not hard to figure out. Again, not a secret within the team, and it has rankled quite a few staff and teammates.
This sort of post has ZERO credibility. Stop rumor mongering. If something is factual then just fucking post it, otherwise it’s worthless content.
You want factual? Terron Ward is a cancerous freshman. Is that good enough for you? Who are YOU?
Was that so difficult?
Well, since this player doesn’t occupy a position lacking in comparable talent it’s not a huge issue, yes?
I’m guessing that dealing with divas is in every program and part of the coaching scope of work. That would be more difficult if this former De La Salle High School star was an every-snap player, I would think.
Maybe diva, maybe just wants to win. Maybe he is just not a yes man that is a cya guy. Who knows? Someone else has an agenda and wants to crush all internal disagreeement. The innuendo is not helpful mainly because you have identified the individual without identifying the accusers. This is information worthy of the Salem Witch Trials or the Spanish Inquisition.
