A Review of the Offense
The Enquirer / Ernest Coleman
The Beavers offense seemed to be the biggest problem, so I'll look at that.

Our best drive of the day also happened to be the only drive we scored on. We gained 66 yards and moved the ball from our 20 to their 14. Probably should have scored a touchdown on that one, but at the time we needed the points.
We had another drive two drives before that that was nice as well. It ate up 5:40 (longest of the game), but we started on our own 12 and it sputtered at midfield.
After that it was bad until the 4th quarter when the game was out of hand. But we did have 3 drives that ended within FG range with INTs. They were playing their starters until the end, so that is a little positive. Not a lot positive in there.
During the game I really felt like we didn't throw the ball down the field until the end of the game.
We weren't exactly prolific past 10 yards. Take out the 4th quarter and the passing game is pretty pedestrian. And only one rushing play of over 5 yards!
Man, we were way out of balance considering Mike Riley likes to be 50% run / 50% pass. But I guess that they were keying on the run pretty well.

Only 20 rushing attempts total. Seems really low.
Here's the best I could find on the positive side:
NET YARDS PASSING............. 274
Third-Down Conversions........ 8 of 18
Sacks By: Number-Yards........ 3-31
Receiving No. Yds TD Long

Bernard, Y. 7 17 0 5
Powers, Brandon 5 76 0 35
Sieverson, Matt 5 31 0 9
Catchings, D. 4 34 0 12
Morales, Shane 4 28 0 12
Croom, Howard 3 43 0 18
Brown, Anthony 2 24 0 15
Johnson, Chris 1 14 0 14
Camp, Brady 1 7 0 7
Totals... 32 274 0 35
We passed a lot, thus we got a lot of yards. I think the drops are just about done. I think the receivers did pretty good. Especially Powers after he tweaked his knee. Catchings is starting off fast at OSU. He could be a good one here.
Not bad on the 3rd down conversions considering how our day went.
Well, that's about it for the offense. ASU is going to be scary. Can we break the streak of losses in Tempe? Will Dennis learn from facing us last year with Idaho? That game becomes a big game for the Beavs.
