BYU 44, Oregon State 20 (final - Las Vegas Bowl)

[BB73]

One score away from the Rose Bowl, and the Beavers play on Dec. 22nd.

And this is BYU's 5th straight appearance in this game - what twist of fate keeps sending all of those Mormons to Las Vegas?

Yeah, its pretty bad here in Tucson and Pheonix. We (DM AFB) had to cancel our flying today due to high cross-winds and low vis.

holy shit you weren't kidding about the winds....the kicker was kicking at the left goal post on an PAT and it still was right down the middle

Thats how you beat the Pac 10 BYU. Slow, methodical, ground and pound. Long drive keeps the OrSU offense off the field. If only the had a D like ours

 

[FrancisSoyer]

Jesus. Oregon State needs to gt their head out of their ass.

Awesome defense.

Is this the same "great offense" that put up 389 yards and 33 points against the Ducks at Autzen?

Was just going to post the same thing.

That Oregon defense must be gangbusters.

I can't wait until January 1. Duck season!

Brilliant decision by OSU to call time out with about 25 seconds left facing 3rd and long on their own 20.

 

[Meyer]

lol Oregon State sucks...

OREGON SUCKS TOO

 

[Buckeneye]

So, according to some of our Oregon friends who continually bring up the transitive property (the Purdue game) can we assume that BYU would handle the Ducks being that right now Oregon State has done nothing since their first drive?

That said, if this was the offense that put up nearly 400 yards and 30 points against Oregon, holy hell those elmer fudd boys are in for a shocker come New Year's Day.

Given OreSt's subpar first-half performance, I can't help but wonder just how good Oregon is as well.

Both Oregon teams are poor defending the pass. It will be interesting to see how much TP will throw against the Ducks.

At this point I'd say its pivatol. Which leads me to think more and more that we'll be seeing something of a different game plan from Tressel. I believe we're honestly going to open with the passing game, maybe a few quick hitters, keep those safeties back then go to the bread and butter rushing.

If Pryor does connect on a deep ball or two then this game could get mighty interesting for us offensively.
