Oregon State Beavers NCAA Football News

SATURDAY, the second half from Memorial Stadium: FOURTH QUARTER Dead ball penalty might have taken OSU out of FG range.

This Saturday, two great Pac-10 teams will square off when California and Oregon State tangle.

California's Jahvid Best, right, was injured after leaping into the end zone for a touchdown against Oregon State on Saturday night.

When outsiders say Oregon State's offense is a two-man show, it comes across as a criticism.

The Quizz Show is full of surprises. This past week, in Oregon State's 26-19 victory over UCLA, running back Jacquizz Rodgers passed out of the Wildcat formation - resulting in a 14-yard touchdown to Brady Camp.

Keenum is one of 16 semifinalists for the 73rd Maxwell Award for the college player of the year.

Jacquizz Rodgers does it all for Oregon State. The sophomore tailback is second in the Pac-10 in rushing and receptions and is tied for second in the nation with 15 touchdowns.

The Oregon State Beavers and the California Golden Bears will clash this weekend in what figures to be a competitive Pac-10 contest.

Oregon freshman running back LaMichael James has been named the Pac-10's offensive player of the week after he had 24 carries for 183 yards and a touchdown in Oregon's 47-20 victory over USC on Halloween.

California is back in the Top 25. Staying there for more than a week, however, could be a challenge.

EUGENE, Ore. - It was arguably the Pac-10's biggest game of the season, and Oregon teammates Jeremiah Masoli and LaMichael James were cracking jokes all night.

CORVALLIS, Ore. - The blown facemask call against USC's Taylor Mays didn't end on the field for James Rodgers: He had to visit the dentist for a chipped tooth.

UCLA came into this game with its offense having scored two touchdowns in three games.

FOURTH QUARTER Down 35-23, and now James Rodgers is out with a bruised left knee.

WHEN: 1 p.m. today, Reser Stadium. TV: Tape delayed, 3:30 p.m. FSN . The Beavers need to put the disappointment of a close loss at No.

UCLA's football program is closing in on history, though not the kind anyone involved in the program would want to write home about.

It's always nice to come home to Reser Stadium after a tough game on the road, especially to the very best fans in the Pac-10. Although I recognize my slight bias being a longtime Beaver fan myself, I think I speak for the rest of the team when I say the support we get from Beaver Nation is simply unparalleled.

Matt Barkley completed 15 of 25 passes for 202 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions.

USC linebacker Chris Galippo, frustrated over the way the Trojans surrendered big pass plays to Oregon State quarterback Sean Canfield, came over to the sideline during last weekend's game and said, "What the heck is going on?" Galippo spoke for himself but echoed the sentiments of a lot of observers regarding USC's defense.
