The Beavers Drivers to Success

From watching the Mike Riley-coached teams the last few years there are a few things that seem to be predictors of how the teams will do from season to season.1. Experience or poise at QB2. Cornerbacks3. Offensive lineGenerally if the Beavs have one of these three things very strong, then they will be a bowl team. If they have two, then they're pretty good. Three and they will...

Anyone Else Worried About The Beavers?

I understand we have played a pretty tough schedule to date so our numbers aren't going to look as good as most teams early in the season. But I'm worried about the Beavs. Things that make me concerned:* The defense (458 yds/gm - 2 sacks - 59% 3rd down conversion rate)* Only 483 yards passing (161 yds/gm)* No receiver really stepping up (none over 40 yds/game or more than...

Blue Turf Installed on the Oregon State Beavers Practice Field

After seeing the photos and video of the OSU practice field being painted blue I had to go check it out for myself. Turns out I wasn't the only one who was curious.The cheerleaders needed to check out if it affected their game:Some random people played a little catch:It felt a little like being on water.Overall, I'm happy they did it and I say do whatever it takes. Its...

Louisville Post-game Thoughts

A win is a win. Being 0-2 going to Boise St. would be a disaster. I'm disappointed that 35-14 didn't turn into 52-21 or something, but oh well. Louisville may turn out to be OK. Maybe even threaten a bowl game.I think the reason most people aren't happy with it is because of what Oregon is doing and to a lesser extent, Stanford. They are running up scores and appear...

Quick Thoughts On Louisville - Game Replays Available To Watch On ESPN3

Thanks to ESPN3 you can do some scouting of Louisville for the upcoming game this weekend. I've watched a quarter or two and was pretty unimpressed.Some things I've gleaned:* The quarterback likes to run and is pretty good doing it. Their offense is reminiscent of TCUs from the little I saw. Good running game, ok passing game. Sometimes bordering on bad.* The offensive line...

The Beavers Running Game Isn't Dead Yet

Jaquizz RodgersWhile watching the TCU game I felt that the coaches should've run the ball more often because it seemed like we were getting good yardage. I know mixing it up is good, but I like to see runs on 1st or 2nd down when he's rolling regardless.A quick look at the drive charts in the second half showed:3rd Q2nd and 10 at ORST 13 Jacquizz Rodgers rush for 8 yards...

Have Patience Beaver Fans, We've Seen This Script Before

Take a deep breath and just relax about the Oregon State football team's performance last Saturday in Dallas. We've seen this script before. In the past I think the situation has been much more dire. After getting blown out 40-something to 14 nothing appears to have gone right. Sure, the score could've been much worse. But that it wasn't is a good sign. These...

TCU Postgame Thoughts and Links

Tough loss last night against TCU. I'm proud that we hung in there and had a chance to win or at least tie in the 4th quarter. We were dominated pretty well, but somehow kept hanging around. Overall it was a pretty good performance by the Beavers and I think we can all come away thinking we could have won with just a couple of plays going our way.I think the biggest bummer...

Red Turf? Abomination, or Cool? What about Orange Turf???

The Boise St. smurf turf is bad enough, but red turf? I can't even imagine watching a game on TV (or live for that matter) without getting a headache.Video: Red Turf Trailer New - EWU FootballMore photos: So, should OSU get a gimmick and go with orange turf? Or would that make 46,000 fans heads explode simultaneously?

A Look at Oregon State's First Opponent - TCU Horned Frogs

TCU had one of the greatest seasons by a non-BCS team ever last season (#4 according to this). Ranked #6 at the end of the season and only a Boise St. loss could taint that dominant year.This season they are ranked about #6 in nearly every preseason poll. They return 54 lettermen and 17 starters. Including their mass of great RBs and their QB who was the MWC offensive player of...

Why the Beavers need to change the way they schedule

Alright, who made this schedule? Oregon State plays somewhere between the #1 and #6 toughest schedule this season. In the first three games the Beavers play two top 10 teams in all the preseason polls. Meanwhile, the Beavs rank somewhere from 22 to 36 in those same polls. The Beavs are pushing their own Heisman Hopeful, Jaquizz Rodgers, but some pundits think that Boise State...

Tale of the Tape - Oregon State Beavers vs. the Oregon Ducks

Seems most people think that the Ducks are going to win the Civil War. Vegas has us as 10 point underdogs. Every local poll has the 60% of the people voting that the Ducks will win. Blah, blah, blah. Is Autzen really worth 10 points?I was looking at the stats and things look pretty even to me. On offense, we each do things a little different, but the result is basically the...

Civil War of the Roses!

Two weeks ago, Arizona had to lose twice and USC had to lose once for Oregon St. to have a shot at the Rose Bowl. Two weeks later, the improbable happened and the Civil War for the Roses was set. This is the biggest Civil War ever. Sure, 2000 was big, but the Rose Bowl is the Rose Bowl! I'm not old enough to remember anything before the streak, so anyone who remembers a bigger...
