2 and 2 and Drayk Bowen was out on a TE in man, double move had him beat but throw was off. Would have been a TD

4th and short

Trick play for Oregon St, direct snap to a WR who threw the ball to the TE. 15 yard gain

Deep ball complete vs Tucker and they call it incomplete. It is awfully close to a great catch and a TD. I think they will reverse it and give to OSU

They called it a TD

Big guy put him and scores a two-point conversion to give the Beavs a nice positive story from today

33-8 ND

BMo recovers the onside kick

Devyn Ford getting some run for a big gain

Ford inside on the next couple of plays to get them to 3 and 3

Converts on the next run

Ketterer in a couple of plays later and behind a great Wagner block, he scores. Always love to see a guy like Ketterer get rewarded

40-8

OSU finally got a 3rd down conversion on the last drive of the game

Strip sack recovered by Shuler, they changed it to an incomplete pass. Too bad because Tre Reader got to Gulbranson and that would have been awesome for him

Micah Bell on a blitz gets a TFL that end the ball game

About as good as anyone could have expected

Irish cruise a dominant win, 40-8
