  1. This is why you don’t return kickoffs from the endzone. 2 yards is not worth injury and they rarely make it back to the 25. Others have stated this but Read and Riley are slow to do the math and consider true risk vs reward.

  2. Lettuce is quickly becoming the nation’s most reliable low field goal kicker. The Marqise Lee has no one within 20 yards of him on a USC TD on their first play. Before all of this Storm had a play where he should have easily stepped out of a foot tackle and couldn’t. Yuck!

  3. Let’s see…..one of the most dangerous players in the nation (Lee) is going to see limited duty, and he is in on the first play. If I am the safety, how can I possibly bite for the running play in that situation? What a dumbshit.

  4. Mannion has to start throwing it away rather than taking sacks. Sacks absolutely kill you when you lose big yards. Force punts atleast 8 times out of 10. Don’t get why this is so hard to train.

  5. Are these guys just stupid or shitty? Or stupid and shitty? This offensive line is offensive. Bad recruiting now for years on the O-line and coach Cav is just getting old. I am rapidly becoming an anti-Beaver fan…..

  6. This team was just simply not prepared to play tonite, and it’s too bad. USC in an off year, a bad QB that we are making look good. This is tough to swallow….

  7. If we lose Mike Riley should be pulled from the post game show and given his walking papers. This team isn’t getting better later in the season and neither did last year’s team. Offer Orgeron the job. Riley has set the bar at 6-6 and has his stupid extension and is grinning like a clam cause he has nothing at stake anymore. :(

  8. So much for the positives to build off from losing last weekend. I wouldn’t blame everyone for filing out of the stadium now. Entire team with the exception of punt team coverage looks like absolute shit

  9. This is a USC team that managed 14 point in the entire game against Notre Dame and they have 14 at the end of the 1st quarter. Hope you are proud, Riley, you fuck.

  10. Ward just picked up 12 on a play Woods would have gotten one yard taking his time and getting tripped up. Keep going with Ward in the running game.

  11. Turning point? Mannion into it now and has already thrown his poor passes for the night. Just need to get it tied up by halftime. More Ward won’t hurt!
    Hmm, more Murphey won’t hurt either!!

  12. Jim Wilson opines, ” Banker must play the run and challenge SC to beat Beavs over the top”. Seems you still have to cover Lee when he is in.

  13. Do they have a qb half roll or roll out in the playbook? Make Phillips man have to run a bit farther.Harlow may be green and he makes mistakes. But at least he is a fighter.

    • How about we remove Phillip and put someone else at left tackle. He is dogshit. I hate guys who don’t get better. I wish he went to Stanford. He would be sitting on the bench for his entire 4 years.

  14. To me, Mannion looks emotionally and physically burned out. He doesn’t have the same energy he had early in the season. His body language is horrible and he isnt throwing the ball with confidence. I know he got hurt last year but i thought he was shitty the second half of last year too. I hope he can pick it up because we have a tough road ahead.

  15. Making this too hard. Cooks and Ward with occassional Mullaney is all we need. Run more with Ward and Cooks. Romaine is sour kale right now and the defense needs to step up.

  16. “That’s two obvious pass interference calls that USC has gotten away with. Obvious.”

    If ESPN is calling you out, you fucking suck. All the Pac12 refs, all of them.

  17. Keystone Cops tackling. Looking like 6-6 and New Mexico Bowl. BDC will put out a Orane Perspectivr saying a great and entertaining season and how he is happy to extend Riley for his nice 6-6 campaign. Makes me want to throw up!

  18. I actually fell asleep and woke up to a long USC td run. Who was it of you that said our run d was pretty solid against Stanford? Lololol!!!! Time to flip over to lakers/spurs. Enjoy the New Mexico bowl beavs

    • Yeah it will be telling. My biggest beef is that he just doesn’t ever seem to throw it away. On that int he stumbled on the play action, got pressure than threw a duck off his back foot into double coverage. Terrible all the way around.

  19. If Riley had a pair he’d cancel all interviews for players and coaches and simply say, “this team and staff needs so much work that there is no time for talking to the press.” He won’t and it is gonna be very hard to listen to his calm assessment of this loss.

  20. Mannion looks like he did vs. UW and the ucks last year. He always throws into double/triple coverage. Just got lucky he didn’t have more picks.

  21. This is freakin embarrassing. Agree with OldBeav – no interviews. WTF is he going to say? He saw some good things? Likes the fact that the team didn’t let up? SOS.

  22. So, really, we just solidified what we already knew:
    1. Mannion forces passes and gets ints against good teams
    2. Our defense is bad, especially against the run (and the pass too)
    3. We were overhyped

    Oh, this sucks…

    • That was my thought. If Mullaney is triple covered how many guys could Cooks possibly have on him? Cooks is the man when it comes to beating coverage and fighting for the reception.

  23. Wrote a letter to OSU weeks ago outlining that I will not donate any money to OSU as long as Mark Banker remains there. Got a Pollyanna letter generic letter back from the athletic department touting the resurgence of the Beavers. In the letter I asked that I receive no more phone calls from any representative or student asking for money for the school. Got a call anyway just a few days ago from a student asking for cash and read him the riot act, telling him I asked to get no more money calls from OSU. Apparently it wasn’t filtered down to all the departments. Told him to take my phone number off the ‘call list.’ I am adamant that Banker needs to go. My 3K per year spread around that I donate is maybe a small amount, but I told him I was not alone. Perhaps we can create a groundswell and generate some pressure on OSU to kick Banker to the curb. I am done with donations to OSU as long as shithead Banker is there. Unfortunately, I am attending the OSU-UO game this year but am regretting my decision to go…..

  24. Preece will be tossing Riley teeball questions on the post game show and Eggers will say be patient. Bullshit. Hope OSU only sends 200 fans to Alberquerque. Bellotti knew when to hand off the baton for the good of the program. Riley could care less about 4-8 or 5-7 seasons so long as he beats Wazzu and Coloado enough to get 6-6 on occassion. He is already inked thru 2022 with this year’s pathetic extension. BDC should be tarred and feathered and have rotten tomatoes and rotten eggs thrown over his old wrinkly no imagination self. Time for drastic changes. BDC has to be forced out ASAP and Riley should go too so we can head a new direction. Riley ain’t taking us above the Sun Bowl again and we have very little to show for the last 13 years. His biggest bo as l win in all this time is a Sun Bowl. That is beyond pathetic. Many coaches outdo that on Year 1!

  25. In order for a qb to be wanted by the pros, he has to be able to go thru progressions, has to be able to change plays ay the line, and has to have some escapability or ability to feel pressure and move in the pocket. Mannion is not there. I think all the guys play like they practice, at a leisurely pace. They are not as physically strong, not as fast and not as alert as the other guys.

    • mb, I think your last two sentences tell the story, so pitiful. And so preventable. How the heck does a competitor like Bray stay with this program?

  26. Growing up a young Beaver in the losing days, I never recall us giving up in a game. I HATE that, the fan base doesn’t demand change despite this disgust. The fan base deserves to see Ducks win Heisman and BCS Game.

    • I was there at that time as well. I can root for a team that plays hard even if they are overmatched. I can’t root for a team (I should say a coach) that is clearly unprepared and the coach acts like he couldn’t give a shit.

        • I hate cheaters and Riley and staff. I am so fucking tired of the mediocrity. This program will NEVER take the next step under his direction. Hell, I don’t even think he could go to a BCS bowl game with USC talent. That’s how fucking mediocre of a coach he is. Can’t win the big games. He can beat the shit out of the sisters of the poor day in and out (unless they are FCS) though

  27. Lord, deliver them from the spell of mediocrity! Deliver them from the awe shucks and shit eating grins that makes them think that this shit is ok! Deliver them soon in some kind of fucking groundswell that demands that this shitpile of average display of pigskin arts cease to be acceptable! Fuck this shit!

  28. The PAC12 fan part of me hopes that Ed Oregeron stays as Head Coach at USC. I think he’s a good fit there right now. And that fan base wouldn’t sit still through the pathetic effort we see from our guys.

      • I know he’s a great recruiter. But in his younger days he had troubles with the bottle. I think at this stage of his life he is getting it together, and I think he’s great for USC right now. His record at Ole Miss was horrible, but I think USC fits him well right now. He was with Dennis Erickson for national championship in Miami and also with Pete Carol for his national title.

    • I think I’m gonna go. Just so I can heckle DeCarolis at the Alumni Event and tell him he needs to retire. He needs to go. He hasn’t sought proper assistants to cover Riley’s weakness. Same in Basketball.

    • I don’t even know why I listen… Preece never asks any tough questions – clock management coach??? “We just have to have a couple of weeks of practice but I still don’t know what this team’s identity is… Gosh darnit!”

      • if you don’t know you’re teams identity after 9 games you probably should give up coaching. I’ll tell you the identity. Run game sucks. O line can’t pass or run block, qb gets rattled under pressure, run d is porous, coaches are dinosaurs who refuse to adjust or adapt. Think that about covers it

    • whats the most promising is this season will be over in less than 2 months and its only 4 months until baseball season

      • Baseball starts in February. That’s only 4months. I like the sounds of baseball right now. Our baseball coach isn’t a stubborn quitter

      • Can’t wait for baseball season. Pat Casey is the man. Beavs are so well coached. Its so refreshing to watch baseball after frustrating football and basketball seasons. OSU should hype baseball more and try and get more attendance since its the one sport we dominate at.

  29. A few pre game thoughts:
    “USC QB’s blow so far this year.”
    “Kessler looked so horrible from what I saw. Sooo horrible.”
    “USC will be able to move the ball on the ground a bit. Their QBs are terrible and will probably throw multiple picks.”

    Kessler’s stat line 17/21 247 1 1

    At least Whiskey had a good prediction.
    “Our defense will probably make him look like an all american then”

  30. Well just when Oregon State starts to make a believer out of you, this comes along and makes you realize they are just an average team. Seems this happens every year. Those big NCAA leading numbers and big offense was all entirely a product of a weak early schedule. All those Heis-mannion thoughts we had were simply a mirage. He has looked exactly like his freshman and sophomore seasons the past two games. Without a run game, good defenses know exactly what to do. I think 6-6 is where this season ends up. There isn’t a winnable game left especially since everybody else has a running qb. Banker will run the same type of defense because he thinks you can attack every team the same. Mannion will do his best to try and catch his INTs up with his TDs (some his fault because he forces throws and the rest because our O line is a leaking sieve). The next 3 opponents have far better offenses than Stanford or USC. Our D will give up 40+ in each of the last 3 games and probably 60 to the team with the toilet seat logo. I hate being a Beaver fan. Its so frustrating. The 2000 season was a “once in a lifetime” year I guess. Can’t wait for the beavs to go to the Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Bowl this year and win a big game against directional U and then the media can talk about how Riley did such a great job bringing this team to a winning season and gets rewarded with another year on his contract.

  31. I thought the Colorado fanbase was pathetic last year because some fans thought they had to put up with a poor coach in Embtee and bumbling AD. They got rid of their ciach and AD though and proved capable of doing what was necessary. Truth is OSU’s fanbase is a 100 times more disfunctional on that we feel we have no choice but to keep letting BDC drag us down, consecutive home losses to FCS teams and poor unbalanced coaching and always losing in spotlight and big games that we have the lowest ranked Pac-12 recruiting class. This fanbase licks BDC nutsack and we should recognize how piss poor of management and expectations we have. Give Caset the AD role after this season and get rid of everyone else except maybe Rueck. Riley lingering here for too long won’t do OSU any favors. Beaver Nation needs to clean house and get all new blood and quit being scared of needed change. We need to quit letting BDC at Co. hijack OSU. This is our university and we need new direction and new leadership!
