(And as CBS Sportsline has it, a SNOREFEST ).
Listening to part of this on the radio today was excruciating (20 punts, five third downs converted, a total of 451 yards of offense), and none of my b..v.r coworkers were especially thrilled with the manner in which the victory was achieved, but hey, a win is a win is a win, and one in a bowl game is always welcome, especially in Corvallis.
I figured the OSU defense would step up after their embarrassment in the Civil War (and they did), but the Pitt quarterback was positively anemic in the passing game; the relative tie in the running game was eclipsed by the relatively superior passing game of the b..v.rs that gave them the edge in field position, enough so that a late second quarter field goal held up for the rest of the game.
No Rodgers brothers were certainly the reason for the lack of offense on the b..v.r side, but from all accounts I've come across, this was one of the most mind-numbing displays of football to have been aired in a long, long while. It was bad enough to listen to on the radio, my sympathies to those who actually had to watch the damn thing.
