Phil's Utah Game Analysis

Game recap provided by my backup(the best backup ever BTW) when I played at OSU:

Bernard - huge game when we needed it against a solid defense.

WRs - early drops hurt. Bailed out by youngsters.

Rogers - monster speed. Upside scares me BIG!

Catchings - not involved too much, but I can't wait to see what he will do when pass game shows up. Upside seems to be huge as well.

Sammie - seemed to be involved and into the game. Will be a welcome sight.

Perry - ankle sprain could slow running game a bit. We will wait and see the prognosis.

QBs - slow start. Signs of promise.

Moevao - mostly handoffs early. Shitty passer.

Canfield - still needs improvement, but settled into his new STARTER role. INT was great read, just underthrown.

Defense - brick wall against the run. Helped by Utah injuries, but still shut down initial starters. Will have a great season if they stay healthy.

Afalava - stepped up his game. Solid in all aspects.

Cavanaugh - great heart and BIG contribution when they needed him.

Serna - solid kicker. Horrible punter. If he doen't improve it will hurt the Beavs later on.

Over all - very pleased with the showing. Much improvement needed, especially in the passing game.

Reilly - nice beard! Keep it, it worked.

- P.S. Hammitt

OSU beats Utah 24-7

The Beavers came through tonight, handing a physical ass whipping to the Utes.

A couple notes:

Sammie Stroughter needs to come back pronto, OSU's WRs looked weak.

Sean Canfield should start and play all the time. Moevoa looked average with limited upside.

OSU's defense looked incredible. These guys are fast and hit hard. Very impressive. Tons of depth. Tons of speed. Al Afalava is the fatest DB in the Pac-10 and needs to lose weight.

24-7 Beavers 4th Quarter

OSU's Defense and their running game is just killing Utah right now. Bernard just ran in from 10 yds out to make it 24-7.

Utah is using second string players across the board and the hard hits and Willamette Valley heat are working against the Utes. OSU's defense is unreal.

9 Tackles for a Loss
4 QB sacks

Are you kidding me?

Don't forget, I told you the Beavers would cover the spread.

OSU's Defense is fierce

1st series since OSU's TD, and the defensive has knocked out 2 Utes so far- the starting QB and RB. Seems like every play Utah is losing a player to injury. I haven't seen hitting like this in a long time. OSU's defense is unreal. These guys are fast and hit hard.

Utah is starting to flinch from all the hard hits......

OSU's offensive line means business

OSU's offensive line if punishing Utah. Bernard is over 100 yds.

Beavers just scored on a TD pass to Darrell Catchings. Nice job frosh!

14-7, middle of the 3rd quarter. Canfield should be the starter from now on.
