Oregon St. 38 Oregon 31 (2OT)

Not much to say tonight (will add more to this post tomorrow) other than to say that right now I'm totally wiped out after rooting like hell for the Ducks. A bit more high scoring game than most people thought it would be, in my mind there were a couple of things that I hadn't really expected, one of those being Oregon doing a decent job running the ball against the stout Beaver defense. The other would be the Oregon State offensive line giving enough protection and time to their quarterback so that he could complete passes at critical times.



Both teams had good play and bad plays, it was great to see both sides respond to the challenges of the game and adjust accordingly. Tis a shame that someone had to lose such a fierce battle where neither side wilted, but those are the rules (and fortunes) of college football these days. Tip o' the cap to the Beavers for making the plays they needed to win the game, and to the Ducks for showing a lot of heart, especially with fifth string quarterback Justin Roper playing the majority of the game.
