Heckuva effort by both teams in the 110th Civil War at Corvallis today. The slumping Ducks took on the surging Beavers in a steady cold drizzle (not much wind though) and the game went down to the final seconds, as the Beavers blocked the possible winning field goal with 16 seconds left to seal the victory. Turnovers played a big part in the game, especially in the first half when two Oregon to's led directly to 14 points, and the one OSU fumble led to the lone Oregon score, and the tally at half was 20-7 to the home team.
The Ducks battled hard and played with a bit more confidence than in their recent slide, but in addition to the turnovers, missed field goals and point afters were also factors that led to the actions of both head coaches down the stretch of the fourth quarter as the Ducks mounted their comeback.
More info and pics later................I'm just a little disappointed, but at least the Ducks didn't roll over when they got behind as they did in their last visit to Reser Stadium in 2004.
