Oregon State Beats Washington State

It was expected that the Oregon State 

Beavers would beat the Washington 

State Cougars in their first match up

since being the two teams remaining 

in the new Pac-12.

The Beavers are the best of these of

these two teams however the Cougars

should be ashamed how they played

especially offensively.

Final Beavers 48. Cougars 30

The  Beavers have an outstanding offense

and the Cougars offense had their best of

the season.  

The Beavers had 555 total yards while

the Cougars had 459 yards.  The Cougars 

play this way in their remaining games

this season they should have more wins

than one they have now 

The game had no turnovers until the

Cougars threw a long pass with three

seconds remaining was intercepted.

The Cougars did what they had to.the

 very end that you can't fault them. 

Owen Eshleman a redshirt freshman 

making his first career start as a Cougar.

Owen completed 32 of 49 passes for

a solid of just over 65 percent and 289

yard with two touchdowns.

If the Cougars had any fault offensively 

Eshleman had most of the yards running

the ball too. He carried 15 times for 136

yards  and had his first running touchdown 

with 1:37 remaining in the game for 20 yards.

It looks for the time now he is the Cougars 

quarterback. They had 15 more carries

that came to 32 yards. Something the

Cougars will have to work on.

Branden Ganashamoorthy was the key

receiver that Eshleman looked to with

11 catches for  147 yards and a touchdown.

Going into this game he had 15 catches

for 196 and two touchdowns. Likely 

see these two hook up the rest of the way.

Things won't get easier for the Cougars  as 

they take on Boise State next Saturday at 

home. Despite  the  Beavers they are expected to win the Pac-12 title.  Let's see if the Cougars

can do an upset. Go Cougs.
