Welcome to the latest edition of Why It Worked, where we go inside a play or element of Oregon State's most recent game and let the coaches and players involved explain, well, why it worked.
This week, it's Ryan Nall's 80-yard touchdown run on the first offensive play of the second half of OSU's 47-44 overtime win over Cal. It was a play that required great blocking up front (watch Blake Brandel come from the right side to the left to occupy Cal's leading tackler, linebacker Raymond Davison), great blocking downfield by the receivers (watch Timmy Hernandez in the middle and Seth Collins' fly in late) and a great individual effort by Nall to get all the way to the end zone.
