  1. OT how about a OSU beaver/Texas cheerleader scrurm – winner gets to wear the chaps?

    OK, the juvenile is done for a while. Start warming up mannion. If Vaz can’t sustain a drive, and produces another TO before the half, pull him.

  2. Even though Vaz was decent on that last drive, I’d give Mannion a shot. Gotta open up the passing game at some point to keep the run game going. Vaz’s turnovers have held back the play calling.

  3. All right, settle down now. Start running the ball, mix in Ward at FB and give him some RB carries. Start steamrolling Texas, get two TDs this quarter, and probably take Texas out of it emotionally. Get the ball first third quarter.

  4. How dumb is it to stand past the line to just hop back at the punt snap and hand Texas a first down and now a TD? Bonehead stupid and Riley needs to scream to step back if it is too close, especially when it shoulb be our ball with all the momentum. Horrible to allow that!

    • I’m not seeing bad coaching. The play calling by riley has been solid. Some dumb choices by Vaz and Wynn not containing isn’t coaching.

  5. Wow, Woods. Telegraph the pass play by getting in late and then snapping your chin strap. Vaz, why don’t you throw to the first option EVERY time regardless of the coverage – won’t catch up with you…

  6. Why does Riley just watch these things happen as the clock counts down to zero without doing anything? Instead he calls for a spike on 4th down. Doesn’t matter if it was actually a first or sould have been measured. You don’t just sit there and not take action. Worst botched timeout ever.

    • He screwed up big time. He also screwed up to start the drive, having them huddle with a minute and a half on the clock and running the ball. Cost the Beavers a lot of time. Never seen a coach mismanage a clock like him

  7. He said that they were told it was a first down so the clock should’ve been stopped and plenty of time to spike it. But nobody on the sideline noticed the clock was still running?

  8. Riley was stupid to leave it in the hands of the officials, but what the hell was going on out there? It was clearly close enough for a measurement, right? I want to hear an explanation at some point from these SEC officials. Also, couldn’t Riley have challenged the spot or is that not allowed in college ball. Of course he would have had to multi-task! Numerous things could have been done to preserve a FG attempt. If it comes back to bite them in the ass, I’m going out to my lawnmower and start sniffing the gas cap!!!

  9. I know we wouldn’t be complaining if before the game started we were told that we’d be up 10 at the half while turning the ball over twice but…. this could be a blowout.

  10. Vaz is DONE!!! Riley has allowed him 15 mistakes already and Vaz so far has brought his D game. Mannion looked great for the one series he got. Not one tiny mistake yet but just because we are still ahead Riley thinks he has to keep playing a guy who has been off all night. Bring in Mannion NOW!

  11. Vaz looks horrible. We have absolutely no vertical passing game with him at QB. The one advantage to him was his lack of TO’s. So much for that.

  12. If Riley sticks with Vaz into the 4th, we will lose this game! For the love of God put Mannion in and quit being so stubborn as it all starts going downhill. Riley wouldhold a stock like RIMM until it was worth a nickel.

  13. If Vaz stays in this game is over and we will have lost an extremely winnable game on a national stage. The offense is not moving with Vaz. You’ve got to go with Mannion right now. At least make the Texas defense respect the downfield pass a little bit!

  14. I’ve figured it out!! Riley must be an evil genius who’s just showing all of the Texas recruits how much the game will rely on them!!

  15. Once again our D steps up and bails us out! As much as I hate Banker I have to give him and his kids credit this year. I hope we can translate that into continued success next year without Poyer’s leadership

  16. If we lose Riley should take even more blame than Vaz. This would be one of the worst folds ever that could have been prevented with atleast one more series in Mannion’s hands.

    • Vaz having no pocket presence doesn’t help the blocking. Mannion may be slow but at least he uses his blockers well and moves well in the pocket.

  17. I’m so fucking pissed. Are we really going to try to run the clock out with 6:00 to go? How has Riley not pulled Vaz by now? He literally cannot read the defense and has absolutely no pocket presence. He doesn’t even seem to know where his second and third reads are on the field!

  18. I have no idea how we are supposed to win this game with 2 min to go. We can’t throw at all. I guess we should start praying woods/ward break off an 80 yard run?

  19. This clearly illustrates the difference in coaching. Brown had one of his worst years ever and has his team prepared to play an ENTIRE 60 MINUTE GAME. Riley has what could arguably be considered his best year ever and his coaching is responsible for this not being an easy win.

  20. Un fucking believable.

    What did Mannion do, screw Riley’s wife? Vaz cant do much of anything right, and Mannion sits….

    A TOTALLY WINNABLE GAME, . The D plays lights out…..for long enough anyway.. but good ol “I DONT CARE” Riley just blows it.

    Unbelievable

  21. How can you not run the ball in the 2nd half? Vaz was clearly not sharp and the Texas D was tearing up the O-line off the corners – 10 sacks? This loss is Rileys and Rileys alone. Lord what a huge opportunity wasted.

  22. Riley has no probleem benching a back that drops the rock, but can’t try to see if Mannon might be hot. Vaz was better in practice, but that didn’t win. What was the time management at the end of the first half? Should have won by 21. My wife bought me an Alamo bowl shirt, I guess I will use it for painting or changing the oil.

  23. This is what happens when you give raises before achievement. Saying just getting to a nice game was a heck of a season is bush league. How about a raise if we win and the program gets the boost. The whole nation thinks Riley is a chump right now and has to believe that is some of the worst coaching they have seen in a long time. Riley cost us the game and deserves to have a year or two knocked off his contract for being such a horses ass and not giving Sean even one more series. Could have been in any quarter and we would of won. Riley did everything in his control to find the one way out of a thousand that we lose this game.

  24. That was unbelievable how bad our coaching staff botched that game. It’s bad when the commentators are saying this loss is on the coaches but that’s how obvious it was. Mike Riley needs to retire and take Vaz and Colin Kelly and and and etc…

  25. wow. I am a complete and utter loss for words right now. A completely winnable game against an opponent you outplayed. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised cause the beavers have been doing this to me for years. Hoops team starts the day shitty and the football team finishes it off. Welp, time to get my drink on and call it a night early. This fucking sucks.

  26. Wow, lack of blocking tight end in second half, lack of adjustments in game in second half. EPIC FAIL on offensive coaches. AND the audition is over Riley…you’ve said it before: the future of OSU Football is Mannion. The audition is over, Mannion needs to be continued to be groomed to be THE STARTER. Vaz was panicking the entire second half to the point of paralysis, at least Mannion would have remained cool and collect.
    So much for “stepping stone” to the next level. Again EPIC fucking FAIL.

  27. stayed away from here during the game but i see everything iyelled at the tv has been posted…

    ultimately, shitty coaching lost the beavs this game. vaz sucked balls, riley kept a time out to end the first half, no adjustments for okafor…these kids deserved better….fuck you mike, and the bike you rode in on.

    • Vaz didn’t suck. Vaz was who he always has been sans the BYU game. Can anyone tell me they’ve seen anything different?

      Anyone?

      You can’t show me numbers that are different. You can’t show me tape that is different.

      You can only point to different results to the same plays?

      FTR… I still thought we controlled this game until we mysteriously had to pass every down… with a QB who has never been aware of the pocket… or mobile… or savvy… or….

  28. 3 third downs converted…vaz-led beavs disappear in fourth just t like against Stanford. Good kid, out of his league athletically. Great PSU qb probably.

  29. Some positives from the game.
    Beavs can rush the ball.
    O-line got some great experience against a good defense.
    Vaz got some bowl game experience for next year.
    No major injuries.
    Riley exposed to Beaver nation how he can also call bad plays like Langsdorf.
    Maybe now we really can get a real OC.

  30. Kelly was out played and Riley didn’t send help. Vaz was a mess and Riley left him in. Banker defense was winning this game until they got gassed due to lack of depth. This was ALL on Riley!

  31. Now UO can blow out KSU and ‘Bama can lose a yawner to ND, wouldn’t that be about perfect?

    Fuck Riley. He got his biannual upset (Wisc) and played the rest of the season to his standard.

    We won’t see 6-0 next season.

  32. Well, Vaz should be done. Riley just messed up Manion for good. Super sad that the PAC could get beat up this bowl season . PAC is messed up. Third best team in the PAC is #4 in the nation. We should roll over kstate.

  33. Vas looked like his legs had roots in the turf. This was embarrassing. The U of O is actually the #1 team in the Pac. Stanford got over on a good night. The Ducks give one team a win each year it seems. Your team needs to find a baller at QB and stop screwing with losers. Johnathan Smith got it done. The rest are like a beautiful lady who smiles and exposes her gingivitis.

    • The Nikegon is actually the #3 team in the Pac. Stanford says so.

      Pretend otherwise loser… and make more really really really bad metaphors which make Duck fan look like a complete idiot.

      Please?

    • I had to look at it again.

      Like a beautiful lady who smiles and exposes her gingivitis?

      You know you had the opportunity to not submit this crap? Yes? No?

      Such is the richness of life. If there were no Ducks, there would be nothing and nobody to contrast beauty, love or intelligence.

  34. Ok.

    So let’s run over the limitations with Vaz in the game once more.

    1. No down field plays.
    2. Only primary read intermediate plays… if attempted.
    3. Zero pocket presence.
    4. Zero pre-snap ability to read pressure.
    5. All the same things obvious to anyone who has watched Vaz play in all but the BYU game… occurring again.

    But don’t stop there. That’s just what I said two months ago.

  35. Jack, Im not a Moron. Come on now. I am a Duck fan yes. I was pulling for the beavs to win this. The metaphor is appropriate in its context. Relating to the quarterbacks for the Beavers. They all take 3 years to develop into a pretty good player but until then they throw to many interceptions and make goofball plays until their senior year. The good ones have busted out a great season in the senior season. Cody Vas is in that mold . Manion is as well. Manion is tall with a good arm. for a qb he is like a beautiful lady. One look at him you would say he should be a great qb. Can see over the line. Has Awsome recievers like Weaton. But throws 13 interceptions. Gingivitis!
