Will hopefully see the Beavs use a lot more tempo in today’s game. Kelly exposed their D last week using an uptempo offensive scheme. That and a lot of misdirection gave their D all sorts of fits in rewatching the game. Smith and Lindgren really need to use that to make up for the disadvantage in talent level.
Yea Smith needs to have the better gameplan on both sides of the ball to make up for the talent difference. Hopefully they can force shough to throw and they don’t let him kill us with his legs. It’s huge having both Skelton and Bennett healthy for this game. If shough beats us passing hats off but I don’t think he will if they’re able to provide pressure.
Gebbia will have to do enough to keep the D honest. This would be a good time to use irish and take some shots on one on one situations. There always is the chance of penalties and might give Jermar some space.
I don’t know if it’s the lack of television I’ve been watching lately, but it feels like there has been very little hype for this game this year. Has anyone else noticed that? I’m not having a name for the game makes it a lot tougher for the media and businesses to generate the usual hype. Also this weird Covid season and no big Civil War parties has reduced the excitement, at least for me.
I’ve noticed everything Beav related on Twitter has been dead for quite a while now, too. Covid has made people realize sports are pretty stupid, is my theory.
Vandy is going to suit up a women’s soccer player to kick for them tomorrow. No men’s soccer players available? Wonder if there is a scholarship issue there?
That screen took a half hour to develop, and yet still the closest Beav was 15 yards downfield and let the RB come to him instead of going and making a tackle short of the line to gain.
Just rewatched that, even my wife said he was offsides. But hope, holding on the beavs. I’m telling you, the Pac-12 wants the Huskies, Trojans , or Ducks to stay undefeated at the have a chance at the playoffs. The refs are just helping nudge that along
there was early speculation after Smith’s hire as to whether he would emulate Erickson, Riley, or Peterson, and the tendency clearly seems to be Riley. His pre-game interview with Parker couldn’t have been less emotive. And then, I watch David Shaw at the end of the Cal game and I think to myself, “when we will ever have a coach who gives a damn again?”
Time to hire will muschamp as d coordinator. He’s the guy I wanted when riley left. Always good defenses when he was in charge. Not a good head coach though.
Glad we’re getting some points but it seems like the same recipe as the last 8+ years where we settle for FG and the Yucks score tds. That’s not a good trade.
Gebbia is no Aaron Rodgers not even close. He has the opposite of the “it” factor… I am ready for Nolan to have a chance… Gebbia is single handedly losing us games with his poor throws… Need Luton right about now
Haha! Angry, so Gebbia wasn’t your boy? Now you are trying to blame the head coach for his failures? I bet old man Jonathan Smith could make these throws even today… I am sorry that your overrated QB is terrible… I mean the Sun Belt conference has better QB’s than what OSU has… it’s pretty funny considering how much you all over his nuts and now you are deflecting… honestly I knew that was coming after you were proven wrong
@ Bill when the defense is on the field constantly it’s hard to blame them… Plus we need to go score touchdowns… Our O is the weak link here, they were supposed to carry this team… has been all season
I sometimes wonder what you are on… If you are saying you weren’t the biggest proponent of Gebbia, I have to question your sanity… Perhaps you go back and look at the blog around this time last year… Maybe this will refresh your memory… “Luton Sucks, Gebbia is the next Aaron Rodgers. he’s got moxie blah, blah, blah” I am sorry it’s hard for you to admit it. But your delusions I imagine are challenging
Why the f are we passing from our own end of the field on 4th down in a 1 score game?
Punt it give your defense a shot at least to hold the score. Just dumb
Does Gebbia looked overwhelmed by the situation and total lack of leadership? I say go zone read/uptempo and bring in Nolan for the 2nd half. Give to JJ and mix in a keeper with a fly sweep, then pass
BTW our Tight ends are a no show, and receivers are undersized and not very good.
Why is it that Beavs never have the type of qb that they can’t themselves ever stop?
In addition, 4th & 3 needs to have a much better look than that play, because it looked like someone just spitballing a play without a real plan or Gebbia is totally inept at reading his opportunities.
Put in nick moore he knows the offense and is very mobile. A lot of the success on the ground is because of checks at the line. The TEs Musgrave has hands of stone and Quitoriano made a great catch on a bad throw on his one target. Apparently he’s our best blocker and receiver at tight end. I’m over champ.
So far a lot of this story is them beating themselves. Besides the start of the game when they came out with an unexpected offense they haven’t done much. There has been lots of blown plays. They need to stop beating themselves. Hopefully they make adjustments and come out strong.
Things that are working,
Attacking the edges with speed.
Jefferson
Not working,
Gebbia is staring down his wr.
Defense in general
To do in second half,
Get jefferson the ball on swing routes.
Keep attacking edges with sweeps
Have to keep Oregon defense off balance with play calling and misdirection.
Pray for defensive stops
Defense has been fine since the first couple of drives after adjustments. There was that busted coverage tho. They just can’t make mistakes and make them drive the whole field.
Gebbia looks for one guy and never looks to the back swinging to the outside. He has to do things to keep the defense honest. He hasn’t done them for going on four games now. His downfield passing actually exists in this game though.
Our D usually stiffens up in the second half, hope that holds true. Just keep giving the ball to Jermar and then hit the tight ends on PA pass. I’m not a fan of blaming refs, my old man always says dont leave it to the refs, but this shit is getting ridiculous. Clearly the commish wants the ducks to be undefeated, so he can get that big playoff paycheck. Some of the worst officiating I’ve seen in a while.
Ridiculous offsides, twice, not called
Spots are very duck friendly. Etc.
I’m starting to side with Angry, college football is sold out to the highest player
Pretty much spot on. But refs decide close games and when you’re the underdog you can’t afford all of the calls to go against you. There has been some bad spots as well. I feel like the analysts are really bias as well.
Perhaps Nolan is similar to Gebbia last year. Meaning JS knew what he was doing by playing Luton. He knew the backup was a JC level QB. It sure seems he had that one correct.
Looked like it, but it would sure help if the milquetoast TE could at least try selling it.
Some of these guys look like they’re just going through the motions.
The call makes sense. Just not there! Coletto has definitely shown the tendency to run everytime he’s in the game. The anticipation was a sellout (bringing middle pressure) and almost working like a TE “pop pass”. Was a bad area to do that. Redzone made more sense to me.
Angry,
My old man played for the Great Pumpkin, and he calls it the Civil War.
And Dee Andros called it the civil war.
It’s the Civil War.
End of discussion.
two things about that. First, as if the outcome of the real civil war wasn’t the morally correct one. Second: The nuance of a “civil” (as in polite, friendly) war (game) is over the head of a lot of literalists.
Why kick? It puts you down by 4! That’s idiotic. You’re either down by 4 or 5?! You go for two there people. That was the right call. You’re not going to win/lose this off of that call. Oregon will score again!
Any coaches sheet in America will say teh same thing.
Go Beavs!
How long are we going to put up with river boat gambler Smith going for it in every situation. 1st quarter, own side of field, 2 point conversions when we are 1 for 10 on them, etc. Not the way to win a game that is within 1 score or hardly any close games. It works once in a blue moon. When you do it 3 or 4 times a game it is 99% odds going to bite this team in the ass as we have seen time and time again.
It’s so predictable. Every time the offense gets it within a score the D lets up. They can never get every unit in sync at the same time. The sign of a terrible team/program.
He’s the loser guy at the bar always hitting on 10’s and going home alone. One of these days he may get that 10 to go home with him, but by that time he could have had 100 6’s. And even if he gets the 10, he won’t know what to do with her.
Desperation is evident, not just surprise trick plays but embarassing efforts to stay afloat. On-side kick is next if they can score again. Obvious to see it coming, all element of surprise is gone.
They said Gebbia had to have a big game, and Jefferson was going to have a long night, and the next play he goes 82. Then they said Gebbia just had to manage the game and they should hand it to Jefferson.
Whenever Gebbia drops back and releases a long ball, I have zero confidence that there is an even moderately open receiver on the other end of the throw.
This is scary. It totally reminds me of DG. Last season, I had all the confidence in the world when Luton took a 5 or 7 step drop. He was crazy with downfield completions!
C’mon Bill. He has 11 guys on defense keying on him and he’s still at like 5+ per tote on the season. These are SJ type numbers, sans 30 lbs. The guy is a frickin animal!
Ya know what’s crazy, is this could go down as one of the most impressive wins (if the Beavs were to pull it off)! Need at least a defensive stop and/or perhaps a turnover. Would be insane.
Is this when we pull out the extra super tricky play?
Or do we just let our players line up and march down the field?
Jefferson could get up ariund 300 yards if we ride him
that 4th down play had no shot. should have been picked. Smith/Lindgren made the fatal error of putting the fate of the game into Gebbia’s passing ability on that series.
Whoever said we need to gamble hard to win these thoes of games. No we don’t. Beavs were every bit good enough to win this game but gave up points through coaching errors. Remove those errors and this was a tossup
Just for the record: called Nolan QB sneak as the call before the snap. Reason being: the Ducks were jumping offsides every play and fellatin’ refs allowed it, so that gives them a huge advantage where Jefferson wouldn’t even get back to the line. At least with the QB you’re right there and can knife past one of those assholes or get a line push, etc.
Probably the first time Smith made a good 4th down call, other than maybe vs ASU.
Just because no one wrote it? Obvious play call. I called the 3 point win when you called a loss if we want to start giving ourselves pats on the back.
So those down voting my comment…..you think going for it on 4th and 3 on roughly on your own 40 with less than 2 or so minutes to go in the first half was a good call or going for two early in the third was a good decision? Those two decisions nearly cost the beavers the game.
I just love that Devon Williams played in that game. He was taunting the whole game and now he gets to realize he just lost the team he left at the altar.
So, NiceBeav, how do we score Smith in this one? He was about to cost us the game. He didn’t really win it. Just a wash? Still has cost us 6 wins, but tonight I let it slide. His players bailed him out.
Regardless of what you think about JS, we just beat a team with way more talent then us. And the refs not helping us. I’ll talk to my old man in the morning and post his thoughts.
Gebbia needs to step up big time
and he did!
Really big miss when we couldn’t land Latrell Bankston in last year’s class. He looked really good in the Cyclones victory today.
Will hopefully see the Beavs use a lot more tempo in today’s game. Kelly exposed their D last week using an uptempo offensive scheme. That and a lot of misdirection gave their D all sorts of fits in rewatching the game. Smith and Lindgren really need to use that to make up for the disadvantage in talent level.
Yea Smith needs to have the better gameplan on both sides of the ball to make up for the talent difference. Hopefully they can force shough to throw and they don’t let him kill us with his legs. It’s huge having both Skelton and Bennett healthy for this game. If shough beats us passing hats off but I don’t think he will if they’re able to provide pressure.
Gebbia will have to do enough to keep the D honest. This would be a good time to use irish and take some shots on one on one situations. There always is the chance of penalties and might give Jermar some space.
I don’t know if it’s the lack of television I’ve been watching lately, but it feels like there has been very little hype for this game this year. Has anyone else noticed that? I’m not having a name for the game makes it a lot tougher for the media and businesses to generate the usual hype. Also this weird Covid season and no big Civil War parties has reduced the excitement, at least for me.
I’ve noticed everything Beav related on Twitter has been dead for quite a while now, too. Covid has made people realize sports are pretty stupid, is my theory.
FTD!
#TPB…..the guy Gebbia couldn’t beat out was strip-sacked on their final drive. Nebby now 1-4 with Frosty continuing to melt away.
Haha. Can’t wait to talk to my brother….
Let’s go Beavs!
To be redundant….
Go Beavs! :)
Anyone know when radio pregame is starting today?
Thanks
Go Beavs!
its on now 1240 kjoe
Thanks. Just got it. Listening on Learfield. Pregame is on a lot later than it use to be.
Go Beavs!
OHHHHHHHHH!
ESSSSSSSSSSSSS!
UUUUUUUUUU!
[REPEAT]
Go Beavs! With all the cancellations I think the game is the last game of the day and at some point, it will be the only college game on TV.
yep. My nephews in Florida are watching, for example. Normally when the Beavs are the proverbial “only game in town” they don’t do well.
Daschel tweets 5 Beavs out of the game due to positive test and contact tracing.
Noteworthy is Nous Keobounnam who started all games this year at RG.
That sucks big time.
Vandy is going to suit up a women’s soccer player to kick for them tomorrow. No men’s soccer players available? Wonder if there is a scholarship issue there?
They probably asked the men’s team and no one stepped up.
34-31 Beavs! Can’t pick a loss.
pretty close. you got the margin right anyway.
How are you all watching the game. Cant find it on ESPN app
Delayed. A game is still on.
Why the hell is this shitty Florida game on?
Oregon big chunk on the first play. DLine looked non-existent.
This is bullshit
That screen took a half hour to develop, and yet still the closest Beav was 15 yards downfield and let the RB come to him instead of going and making a tackle short of the line to gain.
That’s why it worked all the Beavs went the wrong way.
Fantastic.
And then we refuse to tackle their RB. The Beavs “Gave up”, per the announcers.
Edit: The words “Assumed” and “let up” now being thrown around.
Terrible tackling!
Defense on point again to start the game. 3rd and long conversion and then give up on the tackle. Great.
Wrapping up helps.
Nice tackling ladies.
That “receiver was in the area” call on the throw that went 10+ yards put of bounds wasnt sketchy at all…sheesh.
The tackling attepts by OSU were definitely sketchy
Kind of looked like intentional grounding too. Didn’t see any green close to that pass.
Poor pursuit to the ball. Need to adjust or this could get ugly. Hopefully our offense looks way better or it could get even uglier.
Fleming is a moron.
Let that kickoff go out of bounds. Wtf. Looking terrible
And there goes Jefferson!
Apparently no one can tackle.
Wow!
Bad spot on bradford play. Thank God we got Jefferson.
Jefferson!
Who’s playing for nous?
Had no idea Jefferson had that kind of speed.
Announcer: “It’s going to be a long night for Jefferson”…
Jefferson: *hold my coffee*
His first touch in 2 straight games has been a TD run
Every game first play going forward will be a handoff to Jefferson.
I think I’d opt out the rest of the season if I’m JJ. Think he’s proved enough to go by the 3 round.
Anyone going to start playing D?
Not the Beavs. It’s the Swiss cheese defense. They can’t handle the misdirection
Ducks have to be averaging 8 yards per play. Need to quickly adjust and switch up whatever strategy we thought would work.
They’re doing what ucla did to them last week. A totally different offense. Then we scored so quick no time to adjust on the sidelines.
That wasn’t off sides?
He was clearly offsides
Just rewatched that, even my wife said he was offsides. But hope, holding on the beavs. I’m telling you, the Pac-12 wants the Huskies, Trojans , or Ducks to stay undefeated at the have a chance at the playoffs. The refs are just helping nudge that along
no question that NvB is correct.
Freaking off sides no call.
Were getting jobbed pi call as well. What happened on the punt?
To top it off, we get called for a hold. Should have been free play.
13 yard punt?!? WTF?!?
Was it tipped? Shanked?
Just checking stat line…
I know I saw the ref just keep running. I thought it was a good punt at first.
Dude no replay on the close pi call?
Can Jonathan Riley challenge PI?
No challenging penalties. NFL got rid of challenging pi this year
there was early speculation after Smith’s hire as to whether he would emulate Erickson, Riley, or Peterson, and the tendency clearly seems to be Riley. His pre-game interview with Parker couldn’t have been less emotive. And then, I watch David Shaw at the end of the Cal game and I think to myself, “when we will ever have a coach who gives a damn again?”
This fog is going to play a roll! No fielding punts! I can’t believe U of O is throwing from the 3 yrd line! Love it!!
Go Beavs!
Nice sack! 4th and 20
There is the defensive creativity. 3 man rush and a sack
Looks like OSU is going to start playing D first?
Jefferson us hungry. Let him eat!
Impressive Gebbia. Hope that 15 yds stands.
Well its a completion. Gebbia stayed with it. Taylor caught it. Kind of ugly though.
Killing the hurry up which killed the sux.
Upside, gives the defense a longer break
Interesting! 2 times they have gone horizontal stretch for nearly 20 yards (hmmm)?!
Go Beavs!
After that awful punt, does Smith have justification for going for it on 4th down now?
The slow release results in an incomplete on 3rd down.
JIm Wilson agrees.
Gebbia patted the ball and was late on the throw again! Eff me!!
Go Beavs!
you sound like a coach. is that the case?
Great coverage by secondary.
Jesus Christ, I literally can’t fathom how someone gets that wide open. Unacceptable.
Ya that’s the shit that’s killing us is mental errors the refs, and Gebbia.
No chance of a win with this D.
True, but the second half D has been much better in the last two weeks. Three’s a charm??
I hope so. Nice pick.
Time to hire will muschamp as d coordinator. He’s the guy I wanted when riley left. Always good defenses when he was in charge. Not a good head coach though.
Not ribs fault they’re blowing coverages.
Coaches coach up the players
What we got to lose? Can’t really get worse.
Time to look for a new D cord.
Personally, that was my stance after the first game in his first season. Especially 3rd down.
Awesome coverage boys!
Must have lost him in the fog.
Big Jim Wilson is right! Should change up snap count!
Go Beavs!
Sounds like Gebbia needs to pick it up and do his part? No one looks to be playing D, but if OSU can only run, they won’t keep up.
Unless they get 3+ turnovers…
Can we throw into double and triple coverage more?
Yes
Run the god damn ball!
Another blown offsidws call on that missed pass to Beason
The first missed pass to Beason, not the 2nd
There have been a few now! Gebbia changes the snap count, draws them off (free play), throw the fade. Simple!
Go Beavs!
You assume the refs will call it. They have missed two
this Hayes kid seems to have settled into his FG duties pretty well. Accordingly, Smith shouldn’t have to go for it on 4th as much.
Getting really predictable on first down! Playaction.
Go Beavs!
Nice kick.
I miss Choke Air…….
Glad we’re getting some points but it seems like the same recipe as the last 8+ years where we settle for FG and the Yucks score tds. That’s not a good trade.
It’s like a Rook for a Queen.
Gebbia is no Aaron Rodgers not even close. He has the opposite of the “it” factor… I am ready for Nolan to have a chance… Gebbia is single handedly losing us games with his poor throws… Need Luton right about now
So it’s not the defense’s fault? Thank goodness
Single handly? You watchin’ Beavs D?
He has the (sh)it factor…
So you’re saying Jonathan Riley makes poor personnel decisions. Totally agree.
Haha! Angry, so Gebbia wasn’t your boy? Now you are trying to blame the head coach for his failures? I bet old man Jonathan Smith could make these throws even today… I am sorry that your overrated QB is terrible… I mean the Sun Belt conference has better QB’s than what OSU has… it’s pretty funny considering how much you all over his nuts and now you are deflecting… honestly I knew that was coming after you were proven wrong
@ Bill when the defense is on the field constantly it’s hard to blame them… Plus we need to go score touchdowns… Our O is the weak link here, they were supposed to carry this team… has been all season
Lithium is a hell of a drug.
I sometimes wonder what you are on… If you are saying you weren’t the biggest proponent of Gebbia, I have to question your sanity… Perhaps you go back and look at the blog around this time last year… Maybe this will refresh your memory… “Luton Sucks, Gebbia is the next Aaron Rodgers. he’s got moxie blah, blah, blah” I am sorry it’s hard for you to admit it. But your delusions I imagine are challenging
Once again crickets lol… Angry I have to say you are consistent. You’d make an amazing politician. You have the dodging questions down pat.
Pretty sure Tibs gets let go at the end of the season. It’s just time.
I’m looking for a big turnover caused by the linebackers here.
Got an INT
you called it.
Jaydon grant heard you
We might’ve had more passing yards in the Pettibone Era than we have going on this year.
Ha ha! That’s freakin scary!
Go Beavs!
Beavs should be up playing tight cover 2, aggressive. The passing game is going to be all short (to be effective). Killin’ the Beavs on quick throws!
Go Beavs!
Awesome weather!!
3rd Down!
Let’s hope teh Beaver offense doesn’t make the same mistake (pushing the passing game)! Run the ball, throw short, use horizontal stretch.
Go Beavs!
Reminds me of that fog bowl vs Reggie Bush.
that punt return killed us.
Reggie bush is the fastest player I have ever seen. Not just forward but side to side while never losing a step
I was at that game. Had to watch the scoreboard to see the action at the other end
Exactly what I told my wife. Fog bowl II. Still gotta go with the conspiracy theory the commish wants a team to go undefeated
Jaydon Grant is a ballhawk! He is always on the ball.
Go Beavs!
Why not try Nolan?
concur.
Turnover = MOMENTUM……..gotta use it!
Points before halftime are big, gotta get ’em and then not allow an answer.
Really needed a completion on the toss to Musgrave.
Seriously. Can’t blame Gebbia for that throw. Just didn’t catch what should have been a 9 yard gain on 1st down
Umm, not sure this is the way. On their 40? Going for it?
Pooch punt
Go Beavs!
4th and 3 and a go?
ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!
Go Beavs!
Why the f are we passing from our own end of the field on 4th down in a 1 score game?
Punt it give your defense a shot at least to hold the score. Just dumb
Because Dave Portnoy is our HC.
the guy from Barstool?
Yeah. Degenerate gambler.
As someone that usually sees both sides on these that 4th down was just dumb
agreed. I’m not defending that one.
Well that stupid decision will probably put the game out of reach.
The game is way too difficult as it is to have all these fucking mental errors! Jesus christ!
Go Beavs!
I’m not impressed with this Oregon team compared to what they’ve had in the past. Yet doesn’t feel like we’re going to capitalize on it.
Did we rehire GA to be our DB exclusive tackling coach?
Yeah pass play for gebbia on 4th down is just not a good choice
Good defensive stop!
WR was open and would have been a first. Just didn’t execute
This is as active as I have seen A Hughes-Murray.
Go Beavs!
Gifted 3 points. Way to go Smith. Idiotic
I’m usually on board with some of the more aggressive plays but this one was not appropriate.
Come on Beavers. We’re still in this.
Why the hell are we fair catching kickoffs with 40 seconds left?
Think Cookus should be on the hot seat too?
Fair catching it on the 20 where just his momentum would have taken him to the 30 before even encountering an opposing player.
Kneel down and go to the half! C’mon man
They were seeing if jefferson could break one again.
Does Gebbia looked overwhelmed by the situation and total lack of leadership? I say go zone read/uptempo and bring in Nolan for the 2nd half. Give to JJ and mix in a keeper with a fly sweep, then pass
BTW our Tight ends are a no show, and receivers are undersized and not very good.
Why is it that Beavs never have the type of qb that they can’t themselves ever stop?
In addition, 4th & 3 needs to have a much better look than that play, because it looked like someone just spitballing a play without a real plan or Gebbia is totally inept at reading his opportunities.
Put in nick moore he knows the offense and is very mobile. A lot of the success on the ground is because of checks at the line. The TEs Musgrave has hands of stone and Quitoriano made a great catch on a bad throw on his one target. Apparently he’s our best blocker and receiver at tight end. I’m over champ.
bad play call and poorer execution by the QB.
Like Angry has said all along, if Cristobal is the ucks coach that will hold them back. Problem is our coaching
is holding us back.
So far a lot of this story is them beating themselves. Besides the start of the game when they came out with an unexpected offense they haven’t done much. There has been lots of blown plays. They need to stop beating themselves. Hopefully they make adjustments and come out strong.
Beavs D on the field for 16:33 in first half, should be rested now compared to recent games.
Doesn’t help when a bad fourth down call puts them in another tough spot. Tibs must love smith.
Things that are working,
Attacking the edges with speed.
Jefferson
Not working,
Gebbia is staring down his wr.
Defense in general
To do in second half,
Get jefferson the ball on swing routes.
Keep attacking edges with sweeps
Have to keep Oregon defense off balance with play calling and misdirection.
Pray for defensive stops
Defense has been fine since the first couple of drives after adjustments. There was that busted coverage tho. They just can’t make mistakes and make them drive the whole field.
Gebbia looks for one guy and never looks to the back swinging to the outside. He has to do things to keep the defense honest. He hasn’t done them for going on four games now. His downfield passing actually exists in this game though.
Our D usually stiffens up in the second half, hope that holds true. Just keep giving the ball to Jermar and then hit the tight ends on PA pass. I’m not a fan of blaming refs, my old man always says dont leave it to the refs, but this shit is getting ridiculous. Clearly the commish wants the ducks to be undefeated, so he can get that big playoff paycheck. Some of the worst officiating I’ve seen in a while.
Ridiculous offsides, twice, not called
Spots are very duck friendly. Etc.
I’m starting to side with Angry, college football is sold out to the highest player
Roughing the passer on Simon ranks up there too. Fix is in, gotta get this out of the hands of the zebras.
Forgot about that one. That was bad
Pretty much spot on. But refs decide close games and when you’re the underdog you can’t afford all of the calls to go against you. There has been some bad spots as well. I feel like the analysts are really bias as well.
Those announcers are garbage. That 15 min discussion over a clear interception got real annoying.
Are they even in Corvallis?
I mute it and listen to BIG JIM and the other guy.
My friend says they’re at home.
Staying safe
Let’s go Beavs!
Fair catch it you dipshit..
Smith’s decision to go for it on 4th rather than punt doubly stupid given there were high odds of a muff in this fog.
Did you see the last punt?
winnable game. Play to your strengths. Win the TO battle. Don’t give up the big play.
Go Beavs!
Flemings with a return that should have been fair caught.
He must like getting drilled
He did start out as a tight end…
Did a gust tackle him?
Fire Lindgren?
That looked like a catchable ball. Te didn’t even try for it.
No PI what the hell? This is ridiculous.
Yikes. This team has no idea what to do on 3rd or 4th downs.
They have no confidence in the Qb. That is completely obvious.
Go Beavs!
Then change him. Derp. Comes back to the same problem that they have no idea what to do.
This! Makes it tough to make a gameplan when your QB consistently kills any momentum you have
Perhaps Nolan is similar to Gebbia last year. Meaning JS knew what he was doing by playing Luton. He knew the backup was a JC level QB. It sure seems he had that one correct.
Was that a missed holding call on the TE there on the 3rd down play? What aren’t they showing replays?
Looked like it, but it would sure help if the milquetoast TE could at least try selling it.
Some of these guys look like they’re just going through the motions.
If you can execute, playfakes would be great in this fog (in the run game especially). Fly action off of option looks.
Go Beavs!
Jefferson can get 1 yard in his sleep. So let’s have Colletto throw it for 8. This offense is so frustrating to watch
Why the heck would you fake a handoff with Colletto for 1 yard and try to throw to a tight end of a 12 yard route on your own 28 yard line?
Because you’ve decided the d has to win? Yeah, I dont know either.
Degenerate gambler trying to skip the boring, intermediate steps.
The call makes sense. Just not there! Coletto has definitely shown the tendency to run everytime he’s in the game. The anticipation was a sellout (bringing middle pressure) and almost working like a TE “pop pass”. Was a bad area to do that. Redzone made more sense to me.
Go Beavs!
that’s as good a Defensive sequence as they have had all year.
The fog= 12th defender
DO NOT FIELD THIS
Lol
Funny as hell until there’s a fumble!
Playing with fire!!
Go Beavs!
Beavers gonna win!
Beavs changed punters. Loecher punted the last one
Fuck you Dixon!!!! You stupid fuck stick.
It’s the Civil War..
I saw that #CivilWar was trending on twitter tonight because of this game, and people around the country were freaking out it was for another reason
Lol.
Nobody is going to stop calling it the Civil War except people who have to, like the announcers.
Angry,
My old man played for the Great Pumpkin, and he calls it the Civil War.
And Dee Andros called it the civil war.
It’s the Civil War.
End of discussion.
Lol
two things about that. First, as if the outcome of the real civil war wasn’t the morally correct one. Second: The nuance of a “civil” (as in polite, friendly) war (game) is over the head of a lot of literalists.
Whatever happened to Jack?
Lost at sea.
He is curing COVID
hey, whaddya know, we’re gonna get the review we should have had in Seattle.
Twice?
This is where they should have brought in Colletto for that pass.
Go Beavs!
Fucking Refs are killing our momentum… Such bullshit
Looked like a good spot to me
Agreed.
Was that a QB sneak with Gebbia? I can’t believe it.
Jebbia reminds me of Montana
Def a sure fire hall of famer! You nailed it!
Or were you referring to the state? Lol
as in cold (hand)
Going for 2
No argument there. Gebbia did not, at least, lock on to his target.
Why didn’t they kick?
trying to cut the lead to a FG
Why kick? It puts you down by 4! That’s idiotic. You’re either down by 4 or 5?! You go for two there people. That was the right call. You’re not going to win/lose this off of that call. Oregon will score again!
Any coaches sheet in America will say teh same thing.
Go Beavs!
Beauty throw.
is whisky soaked still around..been awhile
Musgraves finally holds on to one and he’s out of bounds
Bad field awareness.
No two point attempt…..another very poor decision has cost the beavers 4 points.
Agree. Some questionable coaching decisions so far this game.
too early to go for two. that was Rileyesque.
Almost every game.
5 losses directly on Smith since he began.
Should be a 1 pt game at worst. That’s all on Smith/Lingren.
God Damn It!!! Your kicker has been money.
Smith and Lindgren have killed my morale. Fuck these guys
Musgrave is GOING to be really good but he definitely has some work to do. Lot of drops, not great with footwork (on the catch). Bright future though.
Go Beavs!
Can’t see it as of right now. Good physical skills tho.
How long are we going to put up with river boat gambler Smith going for it in every situation. 1st quarter, own side of field, 2 point conversions when we are 1 for 10 on them, etc. Not the way to win a game that is within 1 score or hardly any close games. It works once in a blue moon. When you do it 3 or 4 times a game it is 99% odds going to bite this team in the ass as we have seen time and time again.
Smith knows he’s on a long leash. just like Riley knew he had one.
Beason is the next Cooks.
Going for 2 is a nothing to lose situation, let’s not overthink it.
I’d argue losing a game is something
Ok, you win
I love Coach Smith…but damn he’s weird
So JS has cost us 4 points so far.
Come on D. Time to shuck Shough!
WTF was that? They gave em 10 yards?!
“the chains were wrong”
Normal D is back?
Big Jim Wilson speaks the truth again when he refers (politely, since he’s a gentleman) the “smallish” Oregon State front D.
I’m sorry…Beavbutter curse
It’s so predictable. Every time the offense gets it within a score the D lets up. They can never get every unit in sync at the same time. The sign of a terrible team/program.
calm down
Smith is playing correct…. have to gamble massively to ever win these games
can’t win by playing solid…he’s a good coach for sure
going for 2 there is very standard
he attacks
So did Custer…
ha
He’s the loser guy at the bar always hitting on 10’s and going home alone. One of these days he may get that 10 to go home with him, but by that time he could have had 100 6’s. And even if he gets the 10, he won’t know what to do with her.
She’ll be bad in bed anyway
6’s work harder
Smith is in a fog…
We’re going to trick our way to a win
Or treat ourselves to a loss.
Yeah, let’s throw the ball back in a fog bowl. JHC. Nothing good is happening of that! Man this staff seems really inept at times
Desperation is evident, not just surprise trick plays but embarassing efforts to stay afloat. On-side kick is next if they can score again. Obvious to see it coming, all element of surprise is gone.
need a long, clock burning drive resulting in a TD here. Get one stop on D and then do it again to take the lead.
Were trying to be a power 5 version of Boise state with tricks and chances. Thats the only thing I can come up with at this point.
not a bad approach currently
JS did coach there, so…
Yup, its Peterson underdog mentality except we execute it like a high-school team.
quite possibly, but we don’t have Kellen Moore at QB.
That too.
Refs missed a hands to the face on the ducks on the musgraves completion.
Goddammit! Snap the ball!
I was screaming at the tv unreal
J2 is an absolute stud!
Snap the ball so they can’t review! Gebbia is ridiculous… Between him and JS I don’t know
if this call doesn’t go our way then you know the fix is in.
This is complete bullshit if this gets overturned!
I think the ducks lose this challenge
Why did we take five minutes to run the next play? Literally the longest play to snap and they do it on a possible turnover.
Absolutely ridiculous! SMALL THINGS ARE ALL THINGS! It’s like they wanted them to review the son of a bitch!
They have to have overwhelming evidence to overturn this!
OMG we got a call..
Either way terrible job by OSU (not sure who’s fault) not snapping that ball before review.
I am sure lol… you never fail to amaze
@Angry Is Tristan your cousin or something?
Beason TD
Why did that no brainer take so long to figure out? These announcers are atrocious
They said Gebbia had to have a big game, and Jefferson was going to have a long night, and the next play he goes 82. Then they said Gebbia just had to manage the game and they should hand it to Jefferson.
Whenever Gebbia drops back and releases a long ball, I have zero confidence that there is an even moderately open receiver on the other end of the throw.
This is scary. It totally reminds me of DG. Last season, I had all the confidence in the world when Luton took a 5 or 7 step drop. He was crazy with downfield completions!
Colletto threw a better incomplete pass than noodle arm
3rd and 1. Better not hand it to Jefferson. Would be too easy
Hey, we learned!
I think jefferson has fumbled in every game this year.
5 game streak.
Not a stat you want to promote
C’mon Bill. He has 11 guys on defense keying on him and he’s still at like 5+ per tote on the season. These are SJ type numbers, sans 30 lbs. The guy is a frickin animal!
Go Beavs!
I could have added, he hasn’t lost any. I don’t think.
Like I said if they don’t shoot themselves in the foot they’d be winning that and if the fix wasn’t in.
what a shitty throw.
Gebbia can’t hit any open receiver in stride
Smart going for it on 4th there ;)
Its only smart if it works.
It’s always smart if it works
Necessary when you actually have to chase points. Also less risky when you’re down on their end of the field. Actually made sense there.
Only downside of Jefferson having such a good year is he will be jumping up draft boards. May leave after this year at this rate.
Guaranteed he’s leaving.
3rd or 4th round? Is that reasonable? That is what I am thinking. Only case you can make for coming back is how deep the RB class is.
He was always leaving after this year. Draftable rbs do not stay for Sr years.
One thing that puts jefferson in a high round is his blitz pick up skills.
Qb sneaks at the goal line always work.
I guess we’ll have to look for a throwback pass to Gebbia so he can have two games in a row with a pass rush and catch for td.
lol bro he’s as good as gone
announcer so stupid he implies that we might go for it after the offsides on the PAT…
it’s like how some of you guys still don’t get you’re supposed to go for it or not depending on the score and time left… not just randomly
Ya know what’s crazy, is this could go down as one of the most impressive wins (if the Beavs were to pull it off)! Need at least a defensive stop and/or perhaps a turnover. Would be insane.
Go Beavs!
Defense must man up, Gebb will not pass way down field with little time to pull off win
3 and out. Right now.
This game should be tied…
Even better
INT
Wright’s a beast!
Wonder what his wingspan is? He is a long dude.
That’s what she said
Here we go… nice finger tip pick.
We’re in business, let’s go
YES!!!
Fire it up boys!!!!!!!!
Or we should be up 6
everytime he’s gone for it its the correct math play dude… stop being results oriented
Results count. Giving oregon a short field before the half is not a math play. It’s not all about offense
Make that 7. Wouldn’t that be nice
You’re reaching
i was away for a bit. when did we leave points on the table.?
First TD in the 3rd quarter. PAT would have made it 24-20 Oregon. Went for 2, failed, and ended up chasing 5.
That was a great sudden change and then teh give to J2! Nice work! Props
Go Beavs!
well, we’re even on the extra points now.
Pac-12 North title here we come.
Heck of a block by Jefferson on that 2pt conversion
Aight. So the nerves starting to set in. Lot of game to play. Let’s go.
This team is coming together. Finally an OSU team shows up on national tv.
Lol. Well that narrative turned quickly.
Pressure the shit out of their QB!
Go Beavs!
Whoever scores last tonight will win.
you called it.
My god, Mayo Criscomyballs must be gettin a lather on now, see’s his natty slipping away!
Zebras are ready and willing to fellate.
Watch PA first down!
Dumbass #18! Just stupid
Weak call. Looks like Zebra fellatin’ to me.
what was the spread on this game?
13.5 I believe.
True.
Glad I made the trip to Spirit Mountain!
Money line ranged from 350 to around 400
Unforced errors. Kiliin us!
Why’s a TE out running 2 db’s?
It was a zone crossing route and they blew the coverage.
That stop on Tyler Shough was really nice.
Vince McMahon approves
Ugh. Too easy.
Dumb penalty.
People started believing too much only time the Beavers ever win is when you give up all hope. UofO by 10.
Max pain theory.
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/maxpain.asp
Beavs have the upper hand if they can score another TD?!
Go Beavs!
Gotta get that 3rd turnover from the ucks
Is this when we pull out the extra super tricky play?
Or do we just let our players line up and march down the field?
Jefferson could get up ariund 300 yards if we ride him
Littlest?
Yes. If they give you 10, you throw to him. Nice call there
Need to run time off the clock
Kill clock! drive down and score
Stop the clock there?????/
Not good!
Run the god damn ball
First smart play ive seen him make
Hey, that was a pretty heady play by Gebbia to get the 1st.
OMG reminds me of the DG Cal win
Aaron Rodgers type run.
Imagine if this game was tied right now
Shit
I blame the people that believed we had a chance.
that is it
Fuck
that 4th down play had no shot. should have been picked. Smith/Lindgren made the fatal error of putting the fate of the game into Gebbia’s passing ability on that series.
Poor play calling passing on first down when should have been running the ball.
Covered the spread!
Moral victories rule!
interesting; Oregon average margin of victory since 2008 is 20.5 points
Gebbia is going to have to win it on his own now
Telecasters reminding everyone why you take points early, and why the loss is on Smith. They stopped just short of saying that.
The beavers would NOT have gone for 2 the second time. So it’s a wash
One reason you can go for 2 early knowing you can go for 2 later. Not saying I agree with the call, but it did NOT change the game
Smith handed them a FG as well.
Wow perfect series of events for beavs to have a chance
indeed. go ahead with single digits seconds on the clock
Not a lot of confidence in play calling here
it’s situations like this that determine the reputation of a QB
Whoever said we need to gamble hard to win these thoes of games. No we don’t. Beavs were every bit good enough to win this game but gave up points through coaching errors. Remove those errors and this was a tossup
All of you have up.
They need to totally kill the clock to eliminate the Luck O da Beavs factor.
score a TD on the last play of the game
Yes
We wait until the 4th quarter of our 3rd game to start throwing slants???
Man refs just fucked with our momentum
Whole shit Taylor is the unsung hero.
Agreed, monster game by Kolby. Kept the chains moving on quite a few of his catches
Ducks are constantly getting offsides on their pass rush. Never called
3 tikee I have DVR proof. Its ridiculous!!
Beavs gonna win!
Please baby Jesus, run Jefferson 4 times! Ducks are on their heels and know they can’t stop Jermar
We got fucked on the spot!
Again
Historical Signature Win!
first time I’ve ever seen that. Both teams tried to call time out.
That’s a touchdown
He’s laying on the line! Wtf
Oh hell yeah
Big Jim and Parker in an argument over what to do here.
He’s sitting on the goal line for, where is his upper body?
If the refs called for a review before any timeouts, how do we lose a timeout?
How are we charged a time out when the ref said no one was getting a time out? ffs
We was robbed. Of TD and TO
Another qb sneak, just do it
Pac 12 refs are a mess
Why didn’t they run Jefferson
Like the Seahawks in the super bowl.
colletto time.
Offsides!
UofO has been offsides a good half dozen times, they know our snap count
Offsides! Wtf
That is 4 offsides they have not called on the ucks
Fix is in
that bitch should be fined
We’re gonna get fuckin robbed. Bullshit.
QB sneak Nolan is my call.
Nolan!!!!!!!@!!!@@@@@#@!!!!
well, we all wanted to see Nolan
nolan nolan nolan!
Nolan for president!
Fuck these refs way to go beavs
why is oregon so weird?
$
Nice I called Nolan before (I’m on lag). Good call.
Everyone did.
Anybody catch that duck db yanking on gebbias leg on that last play?
Yes.
Nolan get you a TD every play.. GOAT!
If ever a game there should have been a crowd at
I’m mourning the fact my freshman daughter wasn’t able to storm the field with the other band nerds. Huge win
Do not fuck this up!
Wow! What a screw job! What a great resilient drive by the Beavs! Great job Chance, that is not an easy scenario to come in to.
Go Beavs!
need one sack.
Somebody get a sack please….
NOLAN NOLAN NOLAN
Hamilcar needs to step up
That should have been a pick. Damn
YES!!!!!!
Good job beavs. My cardiologist is going to thank you.
AMAZING!!!!!!
Fuck yah Go Beavs!
Incredible!
yeah smith sucks… you guys are clueless… he’s gonna be insane and we’re gonna lose him to a big school
if not for the insane spot vs UW we’re 3-1
Shut the fuck up about the playoff race. The ducks wouldn’t have made it anyways.
Intersting game! A big win! Gebbia out. Chance in at QB next week with the new receiver from FSU and T Lowe.
Go Beavs!
LMAO……EFF THE DUX!
Give Smith a lifetime contract!!!!
Gebbia got the job done, but you have to think it’s Nolan from here on.
Gebbia has had good 2nd halfs in every game, to my memory.
He led us to the goal line. Nolan finished. That’s how it should work with injury.
D’s been decent in 2nd half too.
Crazy ending. Great win.
Where’s Beavsblow?
He’s blowing himself?
probably locked him self in his moms basement crying. lol
Huge win. Corvallis shaking tonight I hope Gebbias injury isn’t as bad as it looks. Nice win Beavs!
Just for the record: called Nolan QB sneak as the call before the snap. Reason being: the Ducks were jumping offsides every play and fellatin’ refs allowed it, so that gives them a huge advantage where Jefferson wouldn’t even get back to the line. At least with the QB you’re right there and can knife past one of those assholes or get a line push, etc.
Probably the first time Smith made a good 4th down call, other than maybe vs ASU.
Yes we sneak was a good call again
Everyone did. What are you talking about?
Not the announcers or anyone else on this blog. All the “Nolans” came after his TD.
I actually thought Colletto would go in, but now I’m thinking he does not get any reps under center in practice?
If they lost with Colletto inches short of the endzone…
He is 240lbs I would hope he could fall six inches, but Nolan did it confidently.
I’ve seen Colletto fuck up too many plays and be stopped short too many times…
Just because no one wrote it? Obvious play call. I called the 3 point win when you called a loss if we want to start giving ourselves pats on the back.
So glad i was so wrong…
Going back, what a huge 3 and out the defense did. Felt like the beavs had lost it.
Big guys up front just wanted it more on those short down situations.
Go beavs!
OK, I know it doesn’t count if ya don’t “call your shot” but I told the family before the game that I expected a Gebbia QB draw.
GO BEAVS!
Larry Scott is bitching out that team of officials as we speak!
Smith is damn good football coach.
We won despite some poor coaching decisions.
So he won despite himself?
Precisely.
So those down voting my comment…..you think going for it on 4th and 3 on roughly on your own 40 with less than 2 or so minutes to go in the first half was a good call or going for two early in the third was a good decision? Those two decisions nearly cost the beavers the game.
They’re irrational; it’s pointless.
That was a classic.
This is still a mediocre team, but that was one heck of a win and a great job taking advantage of a vulnerable Duck team.
Good to see Kolby Taylor finally show up.
you are a mediocre poster
You get out what you put in, I guess.
Good self awareness I must say
Still better than you, so there’s that
Pac North back on the table.
Still way unlikely, but it’s nice that UW and the Ducks are the competition.
Did anyone catch Gilmore at the very end…..paraphrasing….” this is not good for the P-12″. Fuck you, Gilmore!
False champions are bad for the league.
That’s a great example of the media perpetuating the false narrative and the problem with NCAA football.
Basically they’re saying, “The cool, rich, popular guys lost. That’s not good for the PAC.” Fuck them.
I just love that Devon Williams played in that game. He was taunting the whole game and now he gets to realize he just lost the team he left at the altar.
I think everyone is over looking what a great job the offensive line did. They pushed the ducks around for 532 yds
Without one of our starters too.
Gebbia rarely was pressured. They were awesome. Coach m for mvp.
Good point, I thought the ducks lines were supposed to be their strength
Hey OrangeJ…been awhile…what ever happened to Whisky Soaked?
He’s here posting as a Right Winger under another name.
So, NiceBeav, how do we score Smith in this one? He was about to cost us the game. He didn’t really win it. Just a wash? Still has cost us 6 wins, but tonight I let it slide. His players bailed him out.
Luzer
There weren’t many bad calls other than the first 4th down attempt. He also got on the refs about the clock situation at the end of the game.
Penalties are a problem.
4th down was stupid. We would not have been in that game without him I think you forget everything you don’t see
Mario getting exposed, too. Only a matter of time…
Well my prediction was bunk, and I couldn’t be happier!
I don’t think anyone has mentioned it, but this was huge because we were the only game on and it ended at a reasonable time out here in CST/EST.
Lots of national guys commenting throughout the game on Twitter
2 wins in the same day is always nice! Now women tomorrow for a great weekend.
Civil War after party thread up. Where all the cool kids go.
So what’s this about the D costing us the game. Our QB and coach almost did. At least one of those factors is out next week.
Regardless of what you think about JS, we just beat a team with way more talent then us. And the refs not helping us. I’ll talk to my old man in the morning and post his thoughts.
