Feels like the first game where the casual fans might start getting interested in OSU again if we can win convincingly.
Won’t be an easy task vs Montana’s prolific QB and RB tandem as well as their 9th year LB(still don’t understand how that’s even possible, even with Covid and a redshit and an injury year, but here we are)
Go Beavs!
Beavs win 38 – 17. Wish they’d stop the NASCAR broadcast and get to the game. Go Beavs!
Casey in the house!
Gusty 4th down call,
Atkinson 3 of 4, to 3 DIFFERENT receivers, true to Shephards focus on spreading the ball around.
7-0 Beavs, 11:24 left in 1st qtr
None of the three named Legree
OSU 7 Mont 0 early in the 1st quarter. I am following the game posts on Yahoo Sports.
Good opening drive.
Nice to see Newberry’s speed in the open field. Need to get that guy in space more often
Griz receivers getting open allbeit not a lot of success…..so far.
Might be a long night for Thompson at corner. Doubt they stop picking on him
Stuffed them on 4th down!
14-0 1st This is what a good start looks like!
Beavs speedy WRs and Newberry are nice weapons to have. Can’t remember a Beaver team having so many capable playmakers on the field at the same time. Don’t need to force feed one guy over and over when you can trust them all.
So far a great start. Beavs are doing their part to regain fan interest.
Seems like it’s been a long time since I saw Beaver WRs catch the ball whilst actually running in the direction of the endzone.
So simple…so common….
Fuck Lane Kiffen, glad his old team took him down.
14-3 OSU We will be happy to trade a FG for 2 TD’s all night!
You still can’t lead with your helmet, correct? If so, the announcers seem to be oblivious to that fact.
That’s what I was thinking. lol
Yup, Montana LB was ejected. Numbnut announcers were obsessed with Atkinson sliding late, ignoring the helmet contact.
Atkinson is a baller!
Jim Wilson was effusive about that last td throw. We have a real qb!
No complaints at all. This is a new era. Let’s enjoy it for what it is.
This staff is making the game look simple compared to recent coaching staffs…and so early
What?…..no searching for an identity?
They are playing like they expect to win every game. It’s refreshing.
Atkinson 13 of 17 to seven different Beavs.
28-3, 5:17 to go till halftime.
Scrappy and well timed blocking by Legree on that td!
I am frankly shocked at how competent we continue to look. I think on paper our talent should be inferior to last couple of years but we look so much better anyone on previous coaching and recruiting staff needs to take a serious long look in the mirror.
Montana playing better than the score would indicate.
Good coaching makes a real difference!
Shepherd forgetting he gets a bonus for unused timeouts at the end of the season
Nice!
Going for the jugular as the half ends. We get the ball to start the 2nd half.
Damn, this team is well coached. What the eff was happening last year? A clown show with supposedly an experienced staff. Glad the past ties to the program have been cut once and for all.
I’m mostly enjoying USA’s broadcast.
They don’t overdo it with the graphics. Haven’t seen any of those annoying in game interviews that take up more than half of the screen.
Winning helps make the game more enjoyable too, but I’d take this over ESPN any day.
Beavs looking pretty good.
Okay? Alllright?
He can say that as much as he wants if we look like this.
All right! Ok!
Seriously, I can’t recall a season at this point as long as I’ve watched OSU look like they’re growing game by game and a team we should handle being handled.
Are we back?
This is the validation they needed after the first two games.
Now run run run and run some more in the second half. Finish the game off with no injuries and move on to next week.
Efficient half!
Man Boise locked up with South Dakota.
How do I watch USA, have Fubo, Disney, paramount, Amazon, apple and lord knows what else
USA Network is typically available on Fubo from what I’m seeing. I have it through YouTube TV.
I had to borrow a comcast login
Pay for Sling Blue or use SportSurge. It’s the dumbest thing ever that Fubo doesn’t have it when it has literally all other sports channels you could ever want.
Geezus, don’t look away too long…42-3 now…Atkinson having a fairly efficient game.
Sit him and Legree please…
Atkinson is out, not sure about Legree
Glasper still trash
A Malik Murphy completion!
Now I’ve seen everrything, lol. Good for Murphy.
JS is a miracle worker. Hand him the national coach of the year right now.
3 for 3
Dude finally! I think Hatcher is the best runner of the backs. Good to see the rushing game get going some.
Glasper giving it up again
The 40 yard TD?
Murphy dealing!
Sp Tms nice play to down it at the three. Nice snap,but…What, don’t just blast it out like before??
Some important context to consider in this relatively “fast” start; new staff, significant roster turnover, two top 25 FBS teams to start, #2 FCS team, and reasonably close to being 2-1 and potentially ranked.
I can’t recall a Riley, Andersen, or Smith coached team that started this well with this much change.
MAYBE Erickson?
This team looks prepared and as if they expect to win.
What a pleasant surprise and likeable team in the shitty context if D1 college football.
To me, Atkinson is the key to it all.
Legree is great of course, but the drop off between Atkinson and the next man up is a huge gap. Like it goes from very entertaining football to nearly unwatchable football just like that.
He’s everything ABs have wanted out of a QB.
So I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts.
Shephard said it after the game, we need to keep him upright so he can continue to do what he does and not miss time.
By the way, Atkinson was 1 TD shy of tying the school TD record tonight, and he only played 1 minute of the 2nd half.
He actually tied the overall game record of 6 TD accounted for. 5 passing 1 rushing.
I stand corrected, you’re right. Pretty impressive
