BEAVERS BEAT #1 TROJANS!!!


I was there! My dad and I got tickets for a few Beaver games this season and this was one of them. Oh my gosh, it was an incredible night of football. Too see OSU play that first half felt like we were in a dream. Every call seemed to go our way. The penalties went to USC and the challenges went to the Beavs. Quizz Rogers hid behind the offensive line andUSC never could find him. He rushed for 186 yards. His brother James also brought in two touchdowns. It was incredible! And we were seated in the front row the whole time.

The third quarter felt more like how the game was predicted to go. (The Beavs were favored to lose this game by like 27 points or something.) USC came back after half time and made two runs down the field with the energy and ease in which we normally see them play. It got a little scary but made the fourth quarter even more exciting. A key interception by Laybourn in the fourth gave the Beavs that extra lead to 27 to 14. And I'm convinced that the USC touchdown with two minutes left in the game was due entirely to the student section pouring into the Beaver sidelines and dousing Riley before the game was done. Stupid! They were a distraction and could have cost the Beavers the game if USC had recovered their on-side kick and returned for another touchdown. They would have won because our last extra point had been blocked.

Anyway, such a great night and very awesome to have experienced it with my dad. Go Beavs!!!

Preston was celebrating that win as well. I was in the living room reading, he was watching printed play by play on the computer. Every few minutes he would come out to update me. I must admit my response was less then enthusiastic. "the game is not over yet" He very proudly announced the final score with a AND the GAME IS OVER!!! :) Very exciting!
