#1 Southern Cal 21, Oregon St. 27 (Final)

[rocketman]

Fortuitous bounce...

 

[Jake]

Shitty, but very effective, punt.

Trojans have some work to do...OT, perhaps?

 

[Nutriaitch]

The clock did not start on the 3rd down play with 11:21 to go. It started and ended with that much time left

seriously?

 

[troy#1]

Just got in from a Scout trip. Wow! What a game

Go Beavers!

Thats cool. I always root for whoever is playing the gaturds. LOL!

 

[Kurt Sexington]

Thats funny! I say the same thing every year!

Well regardless of how annoying I find the Pac Ten in that regard, the fact remains that SC needs to be able to execute in games like this. Not necessarily come out and win by 77 points like ESPN mandated, but come out, finish your blocks and your tackles and win the game. If you can't do that for an entire half of football, you don't deserve to win the football game, plain and simple.

11:27 start 11:21 finish. easy visual mistake.

 

[shetuck]

OSU must be putting some hits on these SC backs to get them look off the ball.

 

[rocketman]

Was that a blown play? Looked like it should've been a hand-off.

 

[shetuck]

Two key plays by Alfalfa...

w00t!

 

[BuckeyeTillIDie]

the Beavers with a big stop

 

[osugrad21]

3 and out...and did not look good at all

 

[rocketman]

Huge stop. Cannot be overstated.

Bad punt! Crazy good field position.

 

[jwinslow]

Here's where Slaughter's injury is absolutely devastating. Good thing he held onto it.

Huge stop. Cannot be overstated.

Absolutely. How many times would Reggie turn that corner after sneaking outside, or blow up this upset bid some other way?

15-20 yds to paydirt (assuming they convert).

 

[mross34]

I've only seen the last two USC drives but what were they thinking with the 3rd down playcalling?

 

[Kurt Sexington]

Craig James just jinxed the hell out of it for the Beavers. "Do the OSU players realize how close they are?" with 11:00 on the clock. At least OSU has someone to blame if this game slips away from them.
