Well, it’s the first quarter and the Beavs are up 7-0. I’m a Beaver, but I’m also a realist. I didn’t expect us to come out and win, but I must say, they look really good. The Trojans on the other hand, have two three and outs on offense. Could it happen? Could it be? ---

and USC just got their first first down of the game at the end of the 1st quarter. ---

Once again looking like the Trojans are going to get crumbled by Beavers. The irony is delicious (sez the UCLA Classics major…go Beavers!) ---

They apparently discovered how to stop the run at halftime, and now are driving down the field again. 21-7 OSU whoopss.. .21-14 now ---

Good job Oregon State! The Trojans just couldn’t penetrate the Beaver defense. ---

As an Oregon State dropout and big fan of their sports teams, I’m feeling real good right now. ---

Quizz was awesome. He holds the record for most yardage in Texas HS history. More than Erick Dickerson, more than Adrian Peterson. I was super stoked when he agreed to play for the Beavs. Now the rest of the country has gotten to see the “Quizz Show” in primetime. Woohoo! ---

Ha! I hate USC, and their network affiliate ESPN. Good for the Beavs. But do me a favor and decide whether your primary color is red or orange… ---

[They look orange in the picture](http://sports-ak.espn.go.com/ncf/index) but if you look at the video clip on the right hand side they look like they are in red. On television tonight I was quite confused because I know that they are orange but the coverage made everything look red.
