Agree with the line this is a pick ’em and felt that since last Saturday before it was even published. Very fair line. Will it play out that way? Who knows. But since I expect a close game might as well go with the Beavs. They’ve been doing the one step back, two steps forwad thing, so I think they’re due to take a step forward.
30-28, Beavs.
Go Beavs.
Let’s go!!!
ASU defense is decent…
31-24 sun-satans
I think ASU is good enough to be considered a good D. Luton will struggle.
24-20 Diablos del Sol
Just got to Reser… decent energy in the crowd. We shall see… 31-28 someone wins. My money is on the good guys.
Tough one. When inconsistent meets unpredictable. Luton makes Mannion aka the mannequin look nimble. Beavs will find a way to blow it as the chainsaw sputters out of gas and the forth quarter crowd disappears into the fog. Devils 38-24…sadly.
So many predictions with qualifiers…
I predict if the Beavs score more points than the Devils then they will win.
Beavs lose by 6. That’s all.
In memory of Jack, I must remind y’all that the ASU symbol is NOT A FORK!
Trident.
But THEY say “Fear the Fork” and make a hand symbol that looks like “the shocker”….
Spork, Herm is so old he can only eat soup.
Awesome TD pass!
Great catch by Irish. Only one Hodgins pass on that drive. O looking good so far, but let’s see what happens when the ASU starters are in.
Luton’s best pass of his career right there. That throw was money.
Lucky break for the D. ASU QB looks good so far.
He’s good.
Great special teams tackle by Morris. That one could have been ugly.
Playing without Hodgins on every series is going to be a huge challenge for the offense. Several other guys are going to have to step up.
What are you talking about?
Hodgins is playing.
Announcers said he was going to be limited tonight and he sat out a series already.
That move on that long pass was beautiful.
Irish will become Markus Wheaton if he can learn that from Hodgins.
TD #2…….nice touch on the pass, nice to see Trevon involved.
Yeah finally touch.
That Smith has developed a QB as bad as Luton is promising. This is the best Luton has ever looked.
Figures the D is now bad tonight.
Special teams didn’t help with the penalty and bad KO coverage.
I really expected Tibbs to make decent adjustments after that first drive. Still time for some TFL’s to slow down ASU
ASU OL is playing well
Jesus Christ, nice push.
Or toss
Offensive PI
PSA:
Oakshire’s Overcast Espresso Stout is very nice.
Ed Ray not bringing his A game on the radio interview.
The last time Ed Ray brought his A game to anything was 1962.
Do we ever throw out of the pistol?
Must say i really like the 2 TE heavy look.
That play where both TE’s shifted and we ran PA boot to the other side was beautiful.
I used to run that on Madden like 10 times a game haha
HODGINS BABY!!!!!
Beavs going bowling. Book it Dano.
OSU 21, ASU 14
Quick observation. Both redzone rds we brought in JJ and did play action. Line backers absolutely froze on JJ both times. Good play design and personnel usage.
Luton looks like a different player tonight. He must have laid off Susan Sarandon before the game, meat.
ASU passing D ranks 115 of 130, probably has something to do with the game plan and Luton’s performance.
Still, good Luton so far.
Didn’t realize their pass D was that bad.
OTOH, they’re #18 in rush D, big difference!
ASU tackles really well.
Imagine how good this team could be if the offense and defense decided to show up on the same day
ASU scares the crap out of me every time they return a kick.
Also, our defense is regressing.
ASU needs to run more. They’re moving the ball easily when they do.
Clutch stop by Omar Speights
I think I’m just impressed when I see open field tackles now because it’s been 60 years since we had a D that consistently made them.
Did the ‘59 team tackle well??
Paging OldBeav.
heh, heh, can’t help ya. Maybe wannabeav will weigh in later.
Did you miss the 2000 season? Those guys were animals.
Good point
That looked like WWE
Is that a legit call on the punt? Can’t believe that’s a penalty.
Yup, you can’t jump over linemen.
That dude in ASU should run out the tunnel and keep running tell he hits the transfer portal.
Holy crap bad pass. Welcome to the game bad Luton.
He saw the two DBs converging on Flemings. Better short than a pick.
Yeah but it was also one of his head dip waffle balls. He gets bad mechanics after he gets contact
maybe, I think it’s possible it was a read route and he thought Champ might come back to the ball instead heavy traffic.
There’s the Luton I know. Throws into the ground instead of a wide open Flemings then curls into a ball.
Gets hit once and everything goes to shit. Stat tracking showing it.
As soon as Luton got hit he reverted to the bad Luton.
ASU is bringing more pressure on D and we’re folding. Not good.
More bad special teams
Could of flagged the block in the back
Absolutely.
I mean it was right there, right?
Not good in what’s definitely going to be a close game.
Hey Scotty, or special teams.
That looks like the beginning of ASU running away with this one.
You get skurred easy. I mean in the last 5 years you were probably right though.
Jefferson hangin with Seth!
Just matching AP’s from earlier. JJ had good situational awareness to do it when there wasn’t another defender waiting to clock him mid-air.
JJ hurdle where’d he learn that?
Under 2 to go, Beavs need to s l o w l y score. Devils get the ball to start the second half, need to go into half ahead.
You see the future? 30 seconds on the clock, up 7
Great reverse call. The lbs are basically spying jj
Lindgren is on fire right now
PAC12 refs are gawd awful….did I see potentially two block in the backs on that punt return. Wow! Hopefully the refs repay us with a call late in the fourth.
Great play call after the ASU TO. Kind green is on tonight.
A block from Luton?? Well sorta
More like a basketball pick, but it worked!
Haha yeah the old I’m gonna run right *here* block.
Beavs look like the better team.
Now it’s 2nd half adjustment time and if we cave.
Need better special teams and run D
Time for Mr. Tibbs to earn his pay………..I’m betting he does.
Rodriguez will return to his strong play, that alone will help SP TMS, a dose of the old Bradford would also help but not as sure of that happening.
I have hope on offense. They have been using Jefferson as a super effective decoy.good adjustment I haven’t seen much.
Here’s hoping they stop stop keying on him and he rips them for 100 in the second half
Could have thrown another leaping penalty flag on 41 on that PAT.
Did he use his hands to hurdle the center?
Someone please explain why are offense either looks awesome or horrible. Never in between. I swear, it seems like it’s either three and out or TD.
Honestly from the stats I keep it’s Luton. If he gets hit or hurried he falls apart. If he can keep a clean pocket he’s fantastic.
Ham fucking timed that snap, he was 1 step deep before the tackle moved.
There’s that TFL !! end o half with the lead!
That was poetry by Ham
Nice I had hamilcar as a 5 star.
I hope he stays another year.
My guess is ham stays, Hodgins leaves.
Think Hodgins is a first rounder? Late?
I think Ham would likely benefit from a little more weight and showing more pass coverage ability. Defended a pass well against UW well, just seems like he needs to show it some more and consistently to further boost just stick.
Hodgins would go in the 1st. Ham probably 3rd or 4th
Seems to me Ham defended several passes vs UW, he can take this game over by jacking up his compatriots on D.
Your guess seems good to me. With his route running he’s a murderer as a big receiver. I would put him in the 15-40 range.
Ham needs a bit more beef to deal with the NFL linemen. One more year and maybe the PAC 12 sack record and he’s a first rounder. Right now I put him 3rd-4th.
Where’d Rev have him? And what happened to his earlier post of Luton’s 1st qtr stats?
Rev is in a timeout for trying to hack my account.
Saturday is the day of rest for this Rev.
Irish out for rest of game per Callan on radio.
Rashed dominating Eno right now
Rashid reminds me a lot of doggett.
That’s what I was thinking last week.
Doggett a fave Beaver and kind of a prototype for the LBs Beavs need.
Speights has a chance to be special.
It’s still hilarious the recruiting services downgraded him from 4 to 3 stars after he committed to us. The guy’s a lock for All-Freshman P12.
I remember that.
I’m not sure how I ranked him.
He’s special already tho
Kid looks great.
Speights is special. He had 18 last week.
Offense’s Achilles heel right now is it’s inability to respond to blitzing. I don’t think we have positive yardage when ASU brings 6+.
Yeah, Luton can’t handle pressure. He gets rattled easily.
Morris looks healthy, nice tackle!
Last 3 plays to Benjamin Rashed has stonewalled him
Tibbs adjustments? Ham’s compatriots include Speights and Roberts, two three and outs. Need offense now to gain momentum. Doubt 28 will win this one.
That Ayuk dude loves spinning way too much.
ASU DL is owning our OL right now
Deja vu.
Luton has been sacked twice. Both time had time. I wonder if he will go into retreat mode. Also, just once I’d like for Luton to keep the ball on an option play. Several times he had 10 open yards if he had kept it. AZ knows he never will so they are tackling our RB right away.
We need a turnover
Lol, I should ask more often
You’re a wizard Harry – Hagrid
Good call
Can you now post: “We need a touchdown”?
T O !!!
Now step on their throat!
Yes. We actually got a turnover!
Your wish is my command
Haha Whitley decided to play.
Now score
Jefferson just got murdered
Mike Parker, a Luton fan, “Bradford reaches back…”
That was big
That’s what she said
Beautiful. I’m going to think of that as Nuclear’s Madden play now.
Ha the “Nuke set”.
Hahaha, all day baby
Finally Togia. Hurdle U.
Showing up on senior night. Love it
Togiai came to play on Senior Night. He’s made a few great runs after the catch tonight.
I need a hug:(
Damn gophers cost me a pick.
Suck it up….Minnie still what 9-1 and a ton to play for!!! (There’s your tough love hug ;))
Noah getting the “leaping” habit! Whatever works
Did we actually capitalize on a turnover? Damn!
Holy shit, I might have to research when our last offensive td was from a TO. Grant scored last week.
Come on Beav’s
That was fast.
That’s what she said..
And the flailing commences.
Can’t handle prosperity
AZ’s defense is better so far this half.
DL continuing to manhandle our OL led to that fumble
Cats can’t leap, Moore don’t dive = tackle
Speights!
Beautiful read on that sack
No kidding. He was lined up farside and went right through the lineman maze.
Beaver men up by 12 vs. Wyoming just started 2nd half.
Our offense is bipolar
They better reverse polarity soon!
OL continues to get owned in the second half. Maybe some screens would help?
QB draw?………I joke
Haaaaaa burn!
Ok Kelso!
Hodges looked to have some words for Luton but he just ignored him after the 3rd and out.
The stream is really bad!
Welcome to middle age.
I’m way past middle age. ;(
Never cross the streams!
We need a turnover
Lol called it
Calla TD
Feels like recovering a fumble in the end zone is more likely.
You are also a wizard Harry – Kinda Hagrid
Our CBs have not improved all season. Just as bad as day 1.
Need another turnover
Need another touchdown
I am on fire today. Nice call oldretardsnutz……
I believe we just got the turnover!
Morris knocks it loose! Gotta love that kid, and he will be back next yr!
Come on bitches…
We need to start burning the clock. slow that shit down smith.
Luton trucking dem defenders
There’s that QB draw……….OK, zone read.
Luton keeper!
OMG. Luton kept the ball!
Yeah that’s a PI
Friggin Pac-12 refs!
Cost the beavs 2 tds directly. At least 2 other missed calls.
Anyone else notice Whitley is looking slimmer? I was so curious I pulled up OkayState recording and I swear he’s lost 6 inches off his gut.
Yup, and he had energy to celebrate on that fumble recovery.
And he left his feet to knock down a pass!
Missed pi kills our drive
As well as the inability to look off the initial receiver…
No, Togiai was open and got hit early and the PI wasn’t called and should have been called.
Yeah…I know. That was on second down.
Roberts takes a turn stoning Benjamin!
Herm go for 2 if they score?
I wouldn’t. They have outplayed us in the second half. Plus we have no field goal kicker.
He needs a bowl and next two games are tough.
They end with Arizona. They’re going bowling regardless of what happens here.
Nah that’s a tough rivalry
Son of a ….
Dang that Auyuk is good for ASU. Their true freshman QB is going to be a real threat in year 3 and 4 if he stays healthy. Need another turnover right here after that sack.
He looks like he’s 12.
Don’t tell Jerry Sandusky
Or Rev.
He’s already a real threat.
Sack!
This is the game right here.
Make one play and get the W
Old days would be a keeper for untouched TD. Let’s see if times have changed.
Fuck
ASU scoring the touchdown there was the most predictable thing ever
Yeah well it’s the beavs
Gotta respect that pass. He was about to get killed.
21 has been flailing garbage all night.
Stupid defensive play call. Our CB’s aren’t good enough to trust 1 on 1.
Need to at least double team auyuk. Or spy him inside and let the corner cover the outside if it was a fade.
They are going for two.
Had a feeling he’d go for two…
Herm Edwards channeling Riley at Washington lol
Same result too
Weeeeeeeee!
Yahooo
Yes. Let’s get that onside boys
Watch out for the onside kick
Like my pick em call and took osu -.5 in the pool.
Not over til the clock is 0
Don’t do anything stupid
21 with the makeup interception on the two point conversion. That’s the game! BEAVS will win and get to 1 more game to be be bowl eligible.
game not over yet…
Wright play to show up for.
Bradford handles the onsides, as hoped he helps SP Tm
Luton player of the game. Easy call.
Togiai gets the Honorable Mention
C’mon JJ and Pierce..
Uh oh
No shit
Dumb play calling. You need to throw in some kind of wrinkle when they know you’re running three times in a row.
Punt it and play tough defense! Don’t go for it with the off chance of not getting it and giving them a short field
Luton should have punted there and we get bailed out on PI call and that’s the game.
WTF
Winning’s thoroughly fun!
Cool hand Luke…….er Jonathan.
PI settles it.
Success doesn’t make it smart.
What a stupid stupid call that worked. Smith is reckless.
Terrible throw too smh
Wow
Almost like they were hating him for PI actually, rough night for him.
BUT, don’t like the call..
“Baiting”
Dumb luck
Uhhhh all according to plan?
Yeah that was pretty dumb.
Urbs calling for COY for Smith.
Smith could be footballs rueck. I’m concerned with his reckless nature.
My thought on his recklessness is situational. When the game is on the line, he plays more cat and mouse games instead of playing it safe and punting. I almost wish they would have had luton punt in that situation once Ayuk ran off the field. This would have eliminated the threat of a punt return to the house.
As more talent hits the field he’ll either calm his tits or it’ll start working more.
I think he calms it down and stops being a dip shit next year. He has something to lose next year.
Some good play, some luck… Herm snd Smith both with questionable calls.
5-5.
This team is improving, particularly the D, and watchable.
Should be bowl eligible already… : )
Haha we’re storming the field.
It’s Senior Night. Some of those guys have been through Riley AND Big Boy. They deserve it.
That’s fine but also hilarious announcers laughing at it too.
Announcers? We don’t care ’bout no stinkin’ announcers!
The amount of people ‘rushing’ the field are all students and are most likely seniors themselves. Send the seniors off with a home crowd rushing the field similar to carrying the seniors off the field?
With about 200 people…
Someone tell them we haven’t made a bowl yet. But I guess a lot of those storming haven’t seen a pac12 home win in what 3 or 4 years?
Sometimes when you’re evenly matched with someone you have to get lucky. We usually don’t, but we did tonight.
Anti Luck O da Beavs
Uhhhh refs fucked us on at least three horrible game changing non-calls. The luck kind of evened out towards the end….sort of.
The difference in rush yardage is at least gratifying.
OSU can beat WSU…
How can our secondary stop WSU?
They probably can’t. But WSU’s D is steaming shit.
Well it worked. He shouldn’t do it again. But it worked. Dumb luck is better then no luck at all.
What was the play that called on 4 and 2?
P.S. Defensive turnovers… when did those last happen with any frequency? O.o
It was a perfectly-executed flag route.
Ha.
I’m curious if anyone who watched can comment, given drawing PI wasn’t their intention.
Finally dumb luck is on our side!
I need to go on record. I was completely wrong on the JS hire. Exceeded any and all expectations. Hope this translates to some recruiting wins tonight as well. Go Beavs!
Noted.
Gebbia better be the second coming of Matt Moore because looking around the conference, there are a LOT of good QB’s.
Daniels is going to be scary good, same with Gunnell, Slovis, the UCLA guy…
SC has a couple good ones out hurt too.
They’ll probably transfer to Oregon and Colorado
Mills too
What a terrible call. That ref should be suspended. Worked out for the Beavs though
Our mathematical chances at winning the North currently rest in Arizona’s hands. Yikes.
On the PI? What are you talking about?
The refs were strange all night. Was there a single holding call all night? I know I saw probably 10 but I don’t remember a single flag.
And they were letting receivers push off dbacks all night.
Penalties:
Beavs 2 for 10yds
Sparty 4 for 38
Only offensive line calls were ineligible, one per team.
Make up PI that wasn’t called early when Togai I was molested.
It was PI on the 4th and 2 pass. Replay clearly showed the defensive back hit the receiver before the ball got there.
If it’s a Pac ref PI in the middle of the game, it’s a Pac ref PI at the end of the game. I don’t recall “time left on the clock” being one of the factors in the rules for PI.
That’ll do Beavs. Happy to be wrong on my prediction.
You fucking watched though didn’t you? House of lies!
The prostitution rests.
Guilty as charged.
I predict a 35-0 loss to WSU. And I wont be watching.
Hahahha
Signature win for Smith even if he was a total dumbass on the 4th and 2. Seniors played like they may never get another chance. Lutons best game at OSU.
Will post QB stats and senior appreciation stats tomorrow.
That shit was stupid but were freaking 5-5 and a bit of luck from a bowl game. Fuck right off prognosticators.
But which bowl game? Cheez-Its or Tony the Tiger?!
Who cares. As long as they go bowling. Recruiting help!
EXTRA PRACTICE TIME
This.
I don’t care. Honestly I’m already past my wildest dreams for the season. We can get stuffed in the last two and I’m still happy. My best case was 4-8 and that included beating hawaii
We honestly would not have seen Riley play that cat and mouse game in that spot. It was gutsy and stupid, but winners want the ball when the game is on the line.
Meanwhile, down south a team who shall not be named got stuffed for a loss on 3rd and goal and their kicker missed wide left and it wasn’t even close.
Does that make Herm a winner because of his dumb 2PC call?
JS and BL have a track record of taking dumb risks that usually don’t pay off. They were lucky to get bailed out.
Yeah I could see if it was set up to take a delay of game penalty but they actually ran a play lol
It was not the best play call either. It reminded me of when the Patriots did that in the playoffs a few years back, Brady completed it, but it was short of the first down and they ended up losing. Is JS channeling “Grumpy Bill”?
Camden Lewis for the ducks must be cousins with Chokair
Ps. I am glad mediocre Luton showed up today
It was almost like the refs were gun-shy to call anything with all of the controversy this year, but then when the game was on the line they make the most controversial call. I have NEVER watched a P-12 game without a holding call, Jay Stricherz alone has probably cost me 5 years off my life I can never get back with him and his crews’ constant flag throwing. Fucking weird game, but the Beavs deserved to win this way for once.
Hey angry, I’ll take Reckless over Riley! Shucks!
Riley would have punted right to the returner with a 20+ yard return then get a few PIs and a couple of big pass plays later herm would have kicked the winning field goal as time expired.
Herm himself comes out to kick the game-winner?
Probably.
Bingo, You have a very good memory!
Forgot about leaving 1 or 2 timeouts on the board.
Hayes still perfect on XP’s. You might say he won us the game tonight.
The unsung hero. With choker, no way he goes 5/5 on XPs… ASU goes for the XP instead of 2 and wins 35-34.
Hayes foot is Platinum
I do like how Hayes kicks it straight down the middle. Choker was all over the place even on this PAT’s.
He was in the matrix dodging those big paws….ofc he could have just taken a higher angle.
On the broadcast they said we haven’t made a single field goal in conference play this year?
That’s amazing. I wonder if a team has ever finished a season with a winning conference record and zero field goals?
Might be a good case for not kicking and just playing 4 down football, unless a FG is absolutely necessary.
Well, we’ve lost two games by three points this year. It would have been nice to make another FG in both games.
Both of those loses had missed field goals I believe.
Our 4th down percentage is below 50%. It seems like the odds still favor kicking unless Hayes is really not good at FG’s.
We should go for it. Pack as many achievements in as we can for recruiting. If it’s been done it’s probs us anywhere.
Going for it on 4th was dumb. But ASU going for 2 was way dumber. Game came down to who was dumber. Still lots to like about Smith though.
I prefer an aggressive dumb decision with the ball than an entire quarter of RIley sitting on a lead and trying to milk clock with obvious runs and short passes that have no chance of moving the chains. I think JS gets a pass on this 4th and 2 because he has very little to lose at this point since they have exceeded expectations, and much to gain in regards to players perspective, bowl game possiblilities and recruits on the sideline. Even if they punted it out the back of the endzone, ASU had just scored in about 2 minutes. As the defense continues to mature and learn, maybe he isn’t as agressive on that type of play and goes more traditional strategy of punt and trust the defense. However, if you are 2 yards from closing out the game, force the opponent to make the plays to stop you, which they weren’t able to do apart from PI call.
I am impressed and now view JS as a blend of DE and Chris Petersen rather than a younger Riley. Thankful that this is the case, and I think Tibesar, Bray, Maholcheck, Lange are all legit assistants with real recruiting substance. I like what they are doing. Let’s hope they can get that 6th win and extend this season! JS should be Pac12 coach of the year at this point lol.
There’s a post-game thread up.
