Key to this game, IMO, is staving off any early Washington momentum. Think how the Beavs hung in the 2009 Civil War–by getting an early turnover for a TD. Same way they won the 2006 USC game. Getting early momentum. That's how inferior teams hang around and sometimes even win games. We know Washington will give their best, so early momentum could be an issue. If the Beavs withstand that I see the blowout.
I think Mannion may have his best game yet. Reason being, when you sit on the sideline that long you get a different perspective, and the game slows down. You observe someone else execute the offense, you note what they do wrong, and what you can improve. Plus you get hungry to get back out there. For all these reasons, I think Mannion will be a beast tonight.
Chat is now open, if people want to go there for the early Pac-12 games. Don't bombard this thread with comments about the Ducks. It makes it hard to navigate the thread.
Go Beavs!!!
Gotta get to Price early and get him rattled. Guy has very little confidence right now and would hate to see him get it back today.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Sark gameplan Price to run the ball a lot.
I would. Rumors are that he’s been poor this season because his line sucks and he’s getting hit so much that hes got the jitters in the pocket. If that’s true I don’t think Sark is going to draw up any plays to get him hit even more. Plus hes all they got so I doubt Sark would risk it.
We had a spy in early games to guard against a running QB, have we abandoned that game plan? It just seems we are run against better than in recent games than at UCLA. It would be a spectacle if the defense and offense both brings their “A” games.
Had an idea of how to take advantage of the new helmet rule to slow a team using a no huddle offense. we ve already seen defenses trying to take the helmet off offensive opponents in order to make them sit out the next play. but what about having your own defensive player who you’d like to sub out “lose” his own helmet? by rule, that player will be forced to sub out, while simultaneously delaying the next snap. it would kill the hurry up approach, and there currently arent any rules against taking your own helmet off. would be similar tactic to faking an injury which cal almost used to great success against Oregon 2 years ago.
You don’t get an equipment time out to change players. I don’t think it would work, but I could be wrong.
No timeout needed. That player is forced to sub out which is enough time for the defense to get set and catch their breath. it would slow the time between snaps
I like this. Just happen to have your helmet fall off on the other side of the field and make your way to your sideline with a nice slow jog to allow subs to get in and a quick 10-15 second breather. No timeout or fake injury needed, just some manipulation of a bad rule.
It’s the defenses job to sub in time for the next snap. The referees don’t wait to spot the ball until substitutions are made, and the offense is under no obligation to wait to snap the ball. It would look sophomorish and reek of defeatism. Just beat the MF’ers.
Brilliant!!!!!!! I love this idea
You would love the game casters replaying our guys taking off their helmets to slow down the other team and making fun of the team, a la Cal Bears? We would look like a bunch of idiots.
Beavers will win this game by 3 touchdowns. I can imagine no other scenario.
Huck the Fuskies!
Hope to be wrong, but don’t feel good about this one…gonna be wet, so strange things can happen.
You’re feeling is right…if you’re a Husky fan. Beavs are going to destroy these clowns.
All games still early but Arizona is up on USC, Georgia is up on Florida, and Texas Tech is up on Kansas State. USC looks really shitty so far.
Go Beavs!
Holy shit is it too late to get a refund on Colorado?
Go Beavs!
Ok, team, time to put one together — a complete game on O and D…..
WIPE THOSE SUCKERS OUT!
does anybody know how to update your adobe flash player? i’m trying to watch games through firstrowsports on my gf’s laptop until she gets home from the duck game and they all say i need the updated flash player, but it had been working all afternoon.
they try to suck you into all sorts of downloads – x them out – sometimes they also throw in a page asking if you are sure you want to leave it – if she needs to update flash player she will get a notice on her computer not through a message through firstrow.
Well, I just tried to navigate to firstrowsports and there was a big “Domain Siezed” notice….guess I won’t be going back!
The US site was seized. I’m watching (sortof) UCLA/ASU on firstrow right now. Try this:
http://www.thefirstrow.eu/
USC vs UA – Holy crap, why are these guys not taking a knee… there is only 15 seconds left to the half! Oh, Riley isn’t there, I forgot. LOL.
I swear if he does that tonight….
Wisconsin lost to MSU.
Sucks. That doesn’t help us.
The quacks put up 70 to CU’s 14. Classy football. I hope we kick their ass.
The backups were in for most f it. Plus I don’t blame them for running up the score it’s what I would want the Beavs to do if we kept moving backwards in the standings despite winning by 40+every week.
If Chip really wanted to make a statement and be a classless douche that game would’ve been 120-0. They destroy teams in a way I have rarely seen before. With they way things are shaking out, it appears we might be the best team they face all season. We just need to keep on winning and the Civil War will be a classic.
It’s not the Ducks’ job to keep themselves out of the end zone. No way you can tell your 2 and 3 deep to “take it easy” when they get in there.
I used to think Colt McCoy was a perfect sounding quaterback name…but it doesn’t even come close to Landry Jones. Dude had no choice but to be a footballer.
If the Beavs win out and just lose to Oregon, no way they dont go to the Rose Bowl now.
Although now that I think about the Ducks might just end up in the Rose Bowl even if they go undefeated.
Only if Kansas State and Alabama win out.
K State’s remaining schedule is pretty easy so they have a good chance to win out.
With Florida & USC’s loss today, an ND loss this week too, we might just be ranked ahead of the Ducks by the Civil War if we both remain undefeated.
We just need to keep winning each week. The team can’t control what past opponents do for the rest of the season.
No shit. We arent exactly blowing opponents out. We need to concentrate on just winning each game.
USC losing….there goes the SOS for UO.
One announcer comment in the UA – USC game…..right near the end. 578 total yards for both teams says one, the other says….”a defensive struggle”…..lol.
Man I hate prevent defenses
Arizona win looking better
UCLA as well
If it looks better for anyone it would be the Ducks.. they beat them 49-0 and we only by 3 barely.
Not necessarily. Beavers won in Tucson, Ducks beat them at Autzen. That favors Oregon State. And the Arizona wins directly hurts Oregon with having to play USC next week. Game no longer as big.
WSU is making Stanford look very beatable on their own field.
Cause they are. I’m very confident the Beavers will beat Stanford.
Stanfraud is way overrated.
Hypothetically speaking of course, what if the Beavers win out? I remember the 08 Trojans were scary good and we beat them. I have heard players say they can play with anyone. If at the end of the season if the Ducks are highly rated and we beat them, would our strength of schedule jump us into 2nd place? I don’t see a really hard schedule ahead for K State. Hypothetical aside if we don’t win tonight it’s a mute point. Bo Beavs
We would be #2
Go Beavs
Anybody else hear about r/s freshman getting arrested last nite?
According to multiple people at Clink field, its pouring right now. hope it slows by game time
Any links to watch the game guys? I have comcast and cant get it in Minneapolis. Normal sports bars in area all have direct TV. Please help a double rodent!
Try first row sports, probably will links close to game time.
http://www.thefirstrow.eu/watch/149265/1/watch-7-oregon-state-vs-washington.html
Twitter is saying OSU crowd is big and loud. Anyone there can confirm?
travis wilson just pulled a lyle moevea in the utah cal game. it was beast.
what channel is that on?
Go Beavs! First blow out win this season!
Go Beavers!
Sneaky fake-swing pass by UW.
Such a HUGE WASTE of a timeout there. Sark is garbage.
Burning a TO to get a first down in the first minute of the game? So so SO bad.
Poyer was back there for the punt.
Beavers should go for this
We’ll end up torching this secondary. LIke the pass protection up front. Good tackling by UW on the under routes. Need another 3 and out here!
Please tackle.
Sankey will be a force in the next few years.
Murphy with the blown tackle on that huge run.
So far their run game looks decent. Not good for us.
They’re not tackling well so far
Better job against the run the last 2 plays. Now they can get after the QB
Great tackle by Reynolds. So stoked he’ll be around another year.
Dumb penalty
ticky tack..
Poyer grabbed his facemask, and the WR grabbed his 3x as long…
Yea, bad call.
I wish football refs were more like good soccer refs who always consider advantage before blowing their whistles. Pac-12 refs influence the games too much with non-influential calls.
LBs getting crushed, again.
This will be a VERY long game if the defense is playing 8v11.
Big play here. UW probably in 4 down territory though…not a strong kicking game.
Got to answer, boys!
Run defense looked like absolute garbage there; DLine got penetration a few times but couldn’t make the play, and as always, our LBs were NOWHERE to be found. Haven’t even heard their names called yet.
That Poyer penalty was big too; moved them into FG range when we could have gotten the stop. Janky call, since the WR also facemasked, but still, bad sequence, and we’re lucky they only go the 3.
Offense needs to step up, and perhaps give Storm/Agnew the ball once or twice here? Gotta keep up appearances, after all…
This is my problem, we’ve let some pretty big runs happen in the last two games. Teams have figured out how to run on us, and Banker isn’t responding or teaching his LBs, they are making the same mistakes over and over again.
So far I’ve had the game coming in reeeeeeeally choppy on my stream. Anybody having issues with the viraljet or firstrow? or is it just my terrible internet?
This stream is working O.K. for me.
http://www.thefirstrow.eu/watch/149055/1/watch-washington-state-vs-17-stanford.html
Oh, it’s going to be that one drive a game where we try to run it 7 times. Good variety there.
well timed call there.
Wheaton has got to catch that
I love it when a receiver drops the ball and the DB acts like he did something.
It was quite the squib Mannion threw; it was on-target, but so wabbly. Still have to catch it, but it also wasn’t some beautiful spiral.
Has Langsdork called for a pass to Cooks?
That defender was breaking so hard before the ball even left Mannion’s hand…we throw so many of those swing passes, it would be nice to see the pump and go.
That was not a smart pass.
But it was lucky. Lucky it wasn’t picked that is.
Kelly is such a poor run blocker.
UW OL and DL are winning the battle of the trenches so far.
Run to the weak side where UW had TWO extra defenders. Sick work.
Ever notice how Mannion basically never audibles? I know most college QBs don’t, but he doesnt AT ALL.
Not even sure what Mannion saw
VAZ!!! VAZ!!! VAZ!!!
Just kidding.
I think.
terrible throw. terrible throw.
WHO THE HELL was Mannion throwing to?
That throw was short, way behind, AND wabbly. Another bad throw from Mannion. Yuck.
kid doesn’t have any velocity on his throws
Very “rookie-ish” mistake, not knowing where the safety is on a long throw over the middle.
I love it when we play scared. And stupid.
Any radio stream? My internet took a shit.
We look terrible tonight..WTF?!
Oh boy looks like another sweatfest.
Last time I ever predict a win of 10+. We just never ever do it.
Fortunate call, what the hell was Marable doing?
Blocking. He got blocked INTO Poyer. That’s why it was a penalty.
He didn’t look like he knew where the ball was in my opinion.
Mannion is the chosen one. He has always played with composure. He never throws a bunch of picks. He is god’s gift to the position of Quarterback. His throws are rockets. He has great awareness.
Much, much better than Vaz.
And he never locks onto a receiver right from the get go.
Yep. Vaz sure is a chump compared to Mannion.
And Mannion FLOATED THAT FUCKING PASS.
Dude is throwing like absolute horseshit right now. Wabbly, soft, no power, staring down receivers. Jesus christ, Stanford 2 for UW right here.
Looks like that floater left Wheaton out to dry. :(
Floated and got Wheaton absolutely murdered as a result.
I’d have Mannion on a short fucking leash right now, but he’s the Golden Boy so he can play like shit all game and still play. But he is killing us right now. Killing the team and individual players.
About as bad a start as we could have…Second drop by Wheaton…and now he may be out?! Crap…
Unreal.
was that a punt? horrible pass
Horrible pass? Are you serious? He hit Wheaton in the hands, just Wheaton got hit hard.
There are many ways for a pass to be bad, dude. If your pass takes an HOUR to get to the receiver, and he gets crushed as a result?
Bad pass.
FUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKK!!!!
Dude…please be okay Wheaton.
Mannion is lucky he hasn’t thrown 3 picks already. Just 2. OMG
Gotta get Mannion out of this game
Riley doesn’t have the balls to make that call.
What in the hell were the officials looking at with Wheaton????
That was a fucking OBVIOUS helmet-to-helmet penalty. Almost killed Wheaton, and no fucking call. Disgusting.
These douchebag announcers trying to rationalize that hit are also disgusting. Fucking disgraceful.
HEY THEY FINALLY CALLED A LB’s NAME!!! Way to join the game, guys.
This is where it ends, boys.
It sure looks that way now. We can lose two and still have a shot at the RB though.
Does any other team have safeties 20 yards from the line of scrimmage? How can those guys ever do anything in a play?
Nice job D!!!
We should retaliate on that hit. I don’t want to play dirty but got to protect your own, make it a street fight.
This is fucking pathetic.
I would LOVE it if our guys on Defense would hit these fuckers back. They just took down one of your your guys with a cheap hit. Now you’re going to turn around and let their offense pummel your ass.
Awesome.
Haha, I love how the delay on my stream reveals that they are helping their cause just as I rail against it.
Cummings is a fucking hot head. He’s already had one personal foul this year. I’m guessing more will come.
I’m sorry, but Woods is not a very creative runner. I hope there are better RB’s in the future.
Nope, not at all. And lost his explosiveness.
He is starting to remind me of Ryan Cole and McCants, run two yards and fall down on first contact.
Nice drop Gwacham
This time the pass had too MUCH velocity. Sick work.
Also, BOOM, our “Secret Weapon” can’t catch a pass.
Weak. Weak. Weak.
Lame, lame drops by receivers, worse decisions by Mannion, terrible playcalls.
Dude, we’re down 3-0. How could we POSSIBLY run the ball?
Or throw a WR screen.
Or anything other than cuts/posts.
Well, this should have been a blow out. Now it’s desperation time just to win. Gotta see if Vaz can provide a spark.
Looks like Langsdork is calling plays again, too.
Also, Kostol suddenly can’t punt. Great.
Definitely does. Wish we had real reporters to ask.
no pass rush
Feti what the fuck are you doing.
Feti is garbage. Makes no plays.
We are back on our fucking heals.
Loss.
This may be the beginning of the end. I have no idea how most of you (coach Joe’s ghost being an exception) predicted a blowout – perhaps it will be, but not for the Beavs. They will be lucky to win at all.
Thanks for posting, Lurker.
We bought into the hype.
Here’s the Riley cap in action.
Washington gives an average of 48 points to any team with a pulse. This is really bad.
I love this ref calling the TD on the fumble-in-endzone WHILE THE BALL IS IN THE PILE!!!
How is that even fucking possible.
Down down down nice job again D!
Beavs D just seems to be stuck in the mud. Split second late on everything.
Our time of Poseidon has been so lopsided the past two games bc our offense is anemic. Glad our D came to play.
Meant possession.
Teams are content to dink and dunk against the Beavs and get first downs, run the clock.
Not to mention we don’t run the ball
Spoke too soon
Jinxed it
Sun Bowl here we come!
WTF was that defense? No DLinemen over the tackle or TE? And then they run it right there.
Sick fucking work Banker.
About to re-start the “Fire all the fucking coordinators” petition.
So far the UW OL and DL have been winning the battle of the battle of the trenches. Especially the UW OL.
“Well boys, we sure did try. By Golly Gum, I thought it was great that you didn’t respond at all when their guys tried to kill one of our top players. I love football. I need some new gum.”
got hit in the mouth literally, and have no fight back. WSU two years ago.
The Wheaton helmet to helmet is big. We likely would have scored.
And taken the momentum.
I never thought it possible that Sark would out coach Riley, but that is what I am seeing so far.
Despite all the nice words b4 the game Keith Heyward might have something to do with this.
OH LOOK A FUCKING THROW ON FIRST DOWN!!!
I HATE YOU SO MUCH!!!
When one does not have a running game, one can’t hope to run play action”
Says any fan, coach, player of the game of football.
Looks like we have no offensive gameplan and Mannion has just been throwin dead ducks up for grabs. As usual momentum is swinging away from us.
We have a gameplan its the same we have had all season and it looks like UW knows, because they are on every play.
THIS PLAYCALLING IS FUCKING STUPID!
SHITTY PLAY CALLING!
who is calling the plays?
Wow, another horrible sequence. Throw to TE, throw to TE, checkdown to RB, punt.
FUCK YOU MANNION, RIDE THE PINE!
Also, fuck you Riley for keeping him out there.
I hate to see the dream end against a shitty team like Washington.
Let’s get a TO Beavs!
Wow. Nice call.
Ha
The Utah game should have given us ample warning this would happen, guys. Let’s not be THAT surprised.
Gotta take advantage of the gimme.
Sean Martin? Really?
Good play, dude.
Beavs are flat. Reading their press clippings. Receivers not helping QB. Announcers are tools.
this game blows
3 minutes left at midfield, of COURSE this is where we run the ball.
Dear god, WHO IS CALLING THESE PLAYS!
ya run the fucker
Nice call
Playing too slowly. Do we even HAVE a no-huddle?
hurry up!!! tick tick tick
Mannion=statue
Pissed away a lot of time. Where is the urgency?
Announcers just DISSECTED that horrible play action call. 50 seconds left at the 35, we aren’t actually going to run? Really?
OH YOU SO TRICKY LANGSDOUCHE!!!
TD here please.
Look scared to be hit.
This is one of those days
ANOTHER FUCKING DROP!!!
Dear god, this whole fucking game. Step the fuck up, Cooks.
What the fuck Boom, turn upfield.
Poor decision by Mannion
Haven’t seen a half this bad since last year.
Missed Cummings on the out and up…
yup
BOOM IS GARBAGE, stop fucking going to him.
Oh, he’s tall? He must be REALLY GOOD AT FOOTBALL!!!
This is fucking unbearable.
It would be nice to have an update on Wheaton>
?@kerryeggers We’ve likely seen all we’re going to see of Markus Wheaton. He’s still in uniform but sitting on bench with member of OSU medical staff.
Lack of decent kicker hurts us. Limits your options. Knew this would cost us during the season
I think it’s a stretch to blame Romaine for dropped passes, interceptions, and wobbly passes.
One Bright spot… We get the ball the 2nd half?!? Not feeling it
Wow. We look like a steaming pile of shit.
Vintage beavers. Losing in all facets. Were going to lose this game.
What was that half. Beavs get the ball to start the 2nd half, they need to pull their heads out and play some football.
No way in hell this team is the #7 team in the nation.
Top 15 yes. #7 No.
Wow why does it have to be this hard? Beavs love playing with their backs against the wall. Look for a new attitude in the 2nd half!
4 words….
No In-n-Out
I have never seen such PASSIVE, COWARDLY, UNCREATIVE, UNAGGRESSIVE play in my life.
…oh wait…I knew it would all come back to this eventually.
So, first half:
Defense played pretty well considering how often they had to be on the field. Other than the second drive where Sankey picked up about 40 yards on the ground, they’ve held the running and passing game.
The offense has been completely miserable. Dropped passes, wabbly passes, Mannion gets his #1 receiver knocked out of the game, bad pass protection, and absolutely terrible play calling. Offense is just killing us.
Looking at the bright-side now:
1. The defense can keep us in the game a bit longer; UW isn’t explosive, and Price is prone to turnovers.
2. Mannion looked to get better as the game went on, and had some sharp throws late.
3. Probably won’t see 2 more picks from him, and because we get the ball back, we should have plenty of scoring opportunities.
4. Despite playing another absolutely terrible first-half, we’re only down 10. That’s how beatable this UW team is.
More dropped passes in one half than the entire season.
You guys are too emotional. Seriously, they’re down 10. Washington has gotten every bounce, and almost every call. Good guys get the ball first to start the half. Wait and see where it goes. Not all doom and gloom yet.
Okay, that was Turrible
Can we still win this game? only down 10. Have to develop a different scheme on offense, they look like they know exactly what we are running (KHJ effect?). On defense I think we have settled down, but we need a better pass rush, Price just taking a huge drop and sitting back there and even then he doesn’t always throw to a receiver.
Can we pull this off? Is it a magical season?
Run run run then play action down Field to WR
You mean long pass, short pass, even shorter pass, punt, right?
I hate the fact that a receiver has a three yard out route on 3rd and long and hate it even more that a QB would throw to that receiver.
Vaz might do just as good as Mannion in the 2nd half. Boom isn’t used to the details anywhere near enough yet. Have to work hard to get first downs when you have the chance to sprint for the first. I sure hope they putb Wheaton back in. He looks good enough to play after getting a healthy breather. We will need him. You have to have dual threats to have the offense as open as it needs to be. I never got talk of a blowout. huskies always play OSU very tough. On the road against them it was more of a coin flip. Riley typically comes up just short against UW in Seattle. Hope they play much better next half. Only shot we have to turn this around and scrape out a win.
We’ve won 7 of 8 against them; I’m sure one or two of those were in Seattle.
Anyone notice Reggie Dunn’s 100 yd kickoff return today? He just might be an upgrade over Marable…
Reggie Dunn went Simi Kuli on the Beaver program. I don’t think he qualified and then went to JC. He has helped the Utes now and then, but never has become a dependable receiver.
I know. Dependable receiver or not though, we could really use a good return guy. That’s a glaring loss we haven’t filled since James went down in 2010.
beer, beer and more beer. Hopefully I won’t remember the first half
Utah 35-6 over Cal
We look so fucking unprepared.
Oregon is going to totally kill us.
this is when #7 teams earn their rankings, as dismal as that was, we are two possessions away form a lead.;
Should have went for a field goal…
?@JHuntweet After his 173-yard receiving day in Provo, Brandin Cooks has 17 yards over the last game and a half.
We haven’t played well in the last 1 1/2 games. Weird.
Try some screens, Riley; you can’t just throw deep and throw middle every damn play.
We have. Dropped some. Others short gainers
I sure hope Riley finds the balls to play Mullaney instead of Boom in the 2nd half.
BUT BOOM IS TALL!!!! All Mullaney can do is run and catch.
What happened to the fly sweep? Bringing the receiver in motion gives us so many options even if we don’t hand it to the receiver. WTF is up with the play calling? Cooks is the main playmaker on our team and there is no emphasis on getting him the ball.
I am tired off these asshole announcers not recognizing that the hit was illegal!!!!!
BTW these Pac 12 announcers suck, every week.
Ward gets past the 25…buh bye Marable
Parker, “Wheaton is done for the night”
Hard to believe after getting knocked out.
SCREEN!!!
And it went for like 8 yards. Shocker!
Fwiw Angry has started a new thread for the 2nd half.
Cooks needs to get the ball over and over.
Riley remembered that Cooks is still in the game!!!
Kelly is getting CRUSHED by the speed rush. He’s let his man go by at least 5 times now.
BOOM FAILS AGAIN
FUCK THIS GUY, can we get a real fucking football player out there now?
That was a fucking ugly route.
Riley definitely called those last two plays. Wheaton was asking him what he called.
TD!!
THERE WE GO!!! TOUCHDOWN!!
HELLO?
I think that everyone had aneurysms in the first half
At this point, is it asking too much to ask Vaz to come in and get two scores?
