Whew - glad to get through this one. They were calling this the "sandwhich" game - between the huge triple OT game over USC last week and then Oregon next week, it's easy to overlook this trip to Corvalis.
First half looked a little dicey. Rain, we weren't sharp, Luck threw another interception (still only his 5th in 9 games). Scored NO points in the first quarter - first time that's happened all year. Scored 2 unanswered TDs early in the 2nd and started rolling, then pulled away in the 3rd quarter.
Scary time in the 2nd half. Pass to Owusu, who immediately gets hammered (helmet to helmet), drops the ball, Oregon State picks it up and runs it back for TD to get within 3 (17-14). But... it's negated with a penalty called on the hit. Owusu doesn't move, they end up taking him off the field in an ambulance - straight to the hospital. This is the 3rd head injury he's had this season (last one was last week against USC). Later we hear that he's OK, and was back in the locker room with the team after the game. Very questionable obviously for next week's game against Oregon.
