Oregon State's dream of taking the ever coveted trip down to Pasadena was erased late Saturday Night at the hands of their bitter rivals Jeremiah Johnson and the Oregon Ducks.The Beavers had to play without the likes of their talented Tailback Jacquizz "Quizz" Rodgers, and they couldn't run the ball at all without him. The Ducks, on the other hand, ran the ball all day. 385 yards including 219 from Jeremiah Johnson, compared to State's 89 yards on the ground. Oregon set a school record for total yards in this one with 697, breaking the previous mark they just set on Sept. 6th against Utah State.
Lyle Moevao had a decent game given that he was down by two scores really early. The Beav's kept going to WR James Rodgers, older brother of Quizz, on what they call the Fly Sweep (it's a glorified end around) that wasn't there at all really.
The Oregon victory knocked Oregon State likely down to a Sun Bowl berth and gave Oregon the Holiday Bowl or even a Rose Bowl, but we'll need a miracle. This was the first victory for the Ducks in Corvallis, OR since 1996, and snapped Oregon State's current 8-game home winning streak.
