Thursday night in Corvallis-Oregon the Beavers set their trap for #1 USC. 25-Point Underdog Oregon State shocks the world with a 27-21 Victory over the Trojans.
Oregon State jumped out to an early 21-0 lead and took that same 3-Touchdown edge with them to the half.
Freshman RB Jacquizz Rodgers had 186 yards and 2 touchdowns proved to be the constant weapon USC could not stop. Both the Beavers offensive and defensive lines dominated Thursday night and continually frustrated the visiting Trojans.
USC came out of half-time firing with two straight touchdown passes by Mark Sanchez. The Trojans trailed at that point 21-14 with 2:56 left in the third quarter. The Beaver fans at Reser stadium started to quiet and grow weary of the upset that was once brewing. You could see the tide turning and the heads on the Beavers sideline starting to drop.
Both teams then traded some blows on the defensive side of the ball as both offenses were over matched late in the third quarter and well into the fourth.
USC would get it's chance to tie this game up late, but Mark Sanchez threw a costly interception deep in his own territory. That would lead to a 2-yard Rodgers touchdown plunge that put the Beavers up two scores 27-14.
The Trojans would score a late touchdown to make it 27-21, but it was a little too late as they were unable to recover the ensuing onside kick. The Beavers would run out the clock as the fans rushed the field in celebration of knocking off the #1-Ranked USC Trojans
