After watching eight years of Oregon State football, and having those first four while I was in school there be winning seasons and good games, I have to say that the dismal performance tonight was quite possible the worst, most pathetic Beaver loss I've ever seen.
In the first half, OSU was ahead of UCLA, having sacked their quarterback three or four times and showing a general strength in both their offense and defense. By the fourth quarter things really turned around. UCLA made a few pass interceptions, OSU's punt returner fumbled the ball three times which allowed for two of three turnovers, basically giving the game to UCLA for a 40--14 win. It was actually a reverse of how the Beavers played when I went to school there. (It was widely known that Beavs would be down in the first half only to come back strong and win in the second.) All this lead one of the announcers to proclaim that Oregon State is a team that can't stand prosperity.
So, if you like UCLA, this was a good game. If you like OSU, it sucked.
