WHAT A DEVASTATING LOSS! My blood was pumping, unnecessary adrenaline was coursing through my veins as bowl-eligibility was in the Beavers grasp. Oregon State up 53-42 with four minutes remaining in the game and all was right with the world. Instead WSU had other plans and the Beavers were sent home with regrets. Here’s how it happened...
Washington State won the toss and elected to receive. Their vaunted offense was driving with relative ease until John McCartan snagged a gorgeous interception in the redzone. The Beavers then marched 99-yards in five plays to take a 7-0 lead. Washington State continued to do damage offensively, but to the Beavers also forced a few turnovers.
