USC-Oregon in game...

Van · Post by **Van** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 12:07 am

Just got back from the Sac St-Northern Arizona game game, which was sitting at 27-14 Sac St when I bailed.

Nice selection of hotties, I gotta say. I was surprised, but then it was a perfect, 77 degree day.

Anyway, tuning into ABC now. The first shot I saw looked like clear skies.

It would be much, much cooler if Oregon's duck mascot rode the fucking Harley himself, rather than riding bitch into the stadium.

God, that's lame.

With the game in Philly in a rain delay, I'll have my eyes on this one for now...

Flipping channels, man, Tennessee looks weird in those black, Halloween jerseys.

Oregon with a decent uni choice for tonight...the green helmets are cool.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 12:14 am

As horrible Oregon unis go, this black pants/green jerseys/green helmets combo is tolerable.

What the hell is up with those? They're winning so far though...

First false start penalty of the night, creating third and long...

Nice. Barkley had time to throw and made the clean delivery.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 12:17 am

Barkley and the O-line looking good so far...

Shoalzie · Post by **Shoalzie** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 12:20 am

Just flipped off the lights, not a single kid came by this year. Anyone want a Snickers?

Van · Post by **Van** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 12:23 am

USC gets a penalty on the back up TE, then they inexplicably have to burn a time out too.

First and fifteen from the 30. Moving the ball well so far.

Great misdirection play...great recovery by the Oregon D.

Missing Anthony McCoy there.

Letting the women in the house handle the little mooching bastards tonight. I ain't leaving the cave.

Nice play by the Oregon DB on a third down...a small victory for the Ducks because the Trojans looked like they were on their way to 6 points.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 12:27 am

Third and goal...

Oregon bowing up...

Oregon holds in the red zone.

USC 3-0.

Nice drive, but down deep there is where they miss McCoy and Havili most, plus Stafon Johnson.

Still, nice to see them moving the ball around.

Now we see the Oregon offense...

Van · Post by **Van** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 12:29 am

Jesus fuck...

Missed tackles on the kickoff, and Oregon returns it nearly all the way. They already have the ball on the 15...

Shoalzie · Post by **Shoalzie** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 12:31 am

Masoli with two brutal throws...I guess the Trojans oughta fine with that response.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 12:32 am

Masoli overthrows both throws...

Three and done. Chippy FG attempt...

Good!

Oregon squanders the opportunity.

3-3.

USC needs to go right back to work, beginning the process of beating down the Oregon D-line.

Bad series. Great protection, nobody open.

Barkley is missing his weapon in the middle of the field. He wants McCoy there, and Ellison ain't getting himself open like McCoy.

Oregon going with the super quick tempo, and it's working so far on this drive...

That sucks...can you view it on ESPN360?

Van · Post by **Van** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 12:43 am

Fuck...Masoli keeps alive a garbage play for a little dunk to get the first down...

Oregon driving. The fast tempo is definitely working.

Masoli's feet are buying him time. Dude is a real pain in the ass.

Shoalzie · Post by **Shoalzie** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 12:45 am

Great drive by Masoli after that crappy 3-and-out in the first drive...

Van · Post by **Van** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 12:46 am

Oregon converts on third and six, creating first and goal. Oregon looking great.

Masoli on the misdirection keeper for the score.

Oregon looked fantastic that drive. USC had no answer for Masoli running around.

Oregon 10-3.

Not an Iowa fan, dude...Mace and jon are the ones to congratulate. There's a few of us poor bastards wearing those helmets after our team failed to take them down...

No problem...Mace has been lurking around here.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 12:51 am

Oregon crowding the line. USC has to burn them well beyond the line or they'll get swamped.

Barkley throws short on a big one on second down...

Fuck. Back up TE Ayles drops an easy one, which would've been a long gainer.

McCoy being out is hurting, big time. Second drive in a row to die due to the back up TE being unable to make the play.

Momentum is all Oregon now. USC needs a stop on this drive.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 12:55 am

End of the 1st quarter. After a nice opening drive by USC it's been all Oregon ever since, beginning with the long kick off return.

The 2nd quarter starts with second and long for Oregon, and USC needing a stop. Oregon's fast tempo is preventing USC from making adjustments, and Masoli's mobility has been too much so far.

Shoalzie · Post by **Shoalzie** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 12:57 am

This is going to be a late night...Game 3 going to start at 9:15 and the Wings are on at 10.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 12:58 am

USC strips the Oregon receiver for a big turnover.

Nice pick play by Oregon though, to complete that third and long, before the fumble. Masoli had way too much time. Not a good sign, despite the turnover.

The turnover was huge though. Great to see USC finally create one, when they most needed it.

Shoalzie · Post by **Shoalzie** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 1:00 am

Has Barkley missed a pass to his receivers? He's looked good going to the outside...

Check that...he missed that third down play in the end zone, so there's at least one incompletion to the wide outs.

Shoalzie · Post by **Shoalzie** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 1:02 am

TD for Ro-Jo...nice response by the Trojans.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 1:03 am

Another false start on USC, on the back up TE, who is having a BAD night so far...

Second and 9 now...

Meh play, for a nothing gain.

Third and long.

Great grab by Williams, converting on third and long...

First and goal...

McKnight gets down to the three yard line...

USC really missing Stafon and McCoy...

TD, Rojo!

Huge sequence, with USC creating the turnover, then converting for the TD. Barkley just does not look like a kid only eight games out of high school.

10-10. This one looks like it's going to be a monster of a game...

Van · Post by **Van** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 1:05 am

Troubling for USC's O though is they look like an "0," with all their weapons on the perimeter, and no presence in the center of the field. They are really missing their big, safe, TE down the middle plays.

Still have to show they can stop Masoli...

Shoalzie · Post by **Shoalzie** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 1:05 am

Was that short kick really worth it?

Yikes...it all started with that silly short kick. At least the USC D won't get tired when they can move that quickly.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 1:10 am

The tempo of the Oregon O is just proving to be too much so far.

USC assumes the tackle, and James gets away for a HUGE gainer!

Oregon about to score again...

USC holds on first and second down from inside the two...

....but not third down. TD, Oregon.

17-10, Oregon. Neither offense can be stopped. Both Ds are getting shredded. Oregon's O looks to be more unstoppable, so far.

Mace wrote:The James kid runs extremely hard for a little guy. Hope he's not out for the rest of the game.

What he did on those two runs was get real low and hide behind blockers and then wiggle free. He's not tiny like the cat from OSU but he's smaller than most backs.
