Beavers Stay Steady and Win

I say we make it a university rule that we can only play the Arizona and Southern Cal schools in November. ASU looked like they wanted to go home at about the start of the 4th quarter. They were beaten and miserable. It was POURING.

Enough about them because the story is the Beavs. They are acting and playing like a team on a mission. Not too up, not too down. Just steady. Like coach Riley preached before the USC game. Steady.

Matt Moore was steady and then some. 44 yards rushing! And 282 yards in the air...on a rainy day. Great job Matt. This feels familiar. Senior quarterback was a rough start to senior season. Then a win over UW sparks a great win streak in the middle of the season and the QB looks great the whole way. That was Derek in his senior year. Matt is looking poised, confident, and good.

Our RB situation is starting to look iffy at best. Our two best RBs are now the walking wounded. Ev had a gutsy performance, but he's 75% at best. I don't think he moved laterally once all game. Carrasco did look good at the end of the game. Maybe he can plug in and contribute. I hope Ev and Clinton can heal up quick.

The D was great yet again. I looked up at one point in the 2nd quarter and ASU had 4 yards passing. Wow. Sure they were running pretty well on us, but not well enough to overcome their anemic passing game. Or the 2 interceptions.

On to UCLA after a great win over ASU. Go Beavs!
