Idaho seems to be the real deal this season. I don't expect them to get blown out by Cal. I think it's more likely to be a competitive game.

Post-game comments:

Hawkins:

"That was a tough one, but we can't hang our heads." "I was glad we didn't quit," Hawkins added.

"We talked about staying in the game at halftime and everyone responded in the second half."

"Oregon State is a big, fast, physical football team and they're very well coached. Sometimes you're at the top of the mountain and sometimes you have valleys. You just have to go back to work and figure things out, take stock of where you are and get back at it."

"That was a tough one, but we can't hang our heads,"

OSU HC Jonathan Smith:

It was a great win tonight."

"Thank you to Beaver nation for bringing the energy and making Reser complete."

Well said. I didn't expect us to win by any means but I really didn't think we would lose by this big of a margin. I thought they might score 40 some points but I really didn't think our offense would not be able to do anything at all until OSU put their subs in late in the game.

Sac State 34 TAMC 6 - Final

The Aggies played San Diego tough but ended up losing in 5 sets (10-25, 25-19, 19-25, 25-20, 9-15). The Ags play Marist tomorrow at 11:30 AM.

The Ags bounced back from their loss to SJS and beat West Valley 24-5.

Fresno State 34 EWU 31 in 2 OT - Final.

Fresno State beat Purdue on the road last week and EWU nearly beat them tonight in Fresno. In the first OT, an EWU receiver made a spectacular, one-handed catch at the 1 yard line. The Eagles scored on 1 yard pass but the EWU receiver got flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct so Fresno got to start their possession on the 12.5 yard line instead of the 25 and they scored to tie the game at 31. In the second Ot, EWU held Fresno to a FG but then threw and INT on their possession and Fresno won 34-31.

EWU looks pretty good but, as is typical of Coach Aaron Best teams, they look undisciplined as usual.

EWU and Fresno State are going to overtime tied at 24.
Sac State 34 TAMC 6 with 26 seconds to go in the 3rd.

Sac State 27 TAMC 6 at the half.

Utah State 78 Idaho State 28 - Final

Halftime stats:
Total yards: OSU 251 Aggies 63
Hastings: 6-12 and 1 INT for 21 yards
Larison: 14 rushes for 56 yards

Sac State 10 TAMC 0 at the end of the 1st.

Idaho may be the strongest team in the Big Sky so far.

Idaho 33 Nevada 6 - Final
South Dakota State 20 Montana State 16 - Final

Totally agree.

This is so ugly that it's hard to watch.

Hawk said he thinks they are a top 10 FBS team and, so far, they look like it. We're way overmatched on both sides of the ball.

Chukwudobe wouldn't be able to do any better. Our O line is severely overmatched by their D line. Chukwudobe would not be able to run over 2 or 3 of their huge D linemen anymore than any other of our running backs.
