2 Teams=2 Dreams (BSU and EWU Quest for Perfection)

Tough and frustrating loss for EWU. Just have to make sure you repay the favor next season against WSU.

Booker is lightening quick! He tried to transfer to Buffalo after my second season and I was able to talk him into returning to MU. I use him as a returner and work him into the running game as a back-up.

Very frustrating. I played stupid in the 2nd half, but they also did a great job of stopping T. Jones. Even though he finished with 102 yds, 80 of those came on 1 play so the rest of the game he was 15 carries for 22 yds. Not excactly big time back #'s.

I got the Oregon vs BSU game and EWU vs Oregon State games played. Have to go back to work tomorrow and Wed but should have time to post them in the evening. Look for Recruiting Updates in Week 5 which should be available on Thursday my next day off.

Looking forward to the results of both games.

WEEK 3

#5 vs #10

GAME PREVIEW

In 2009, BSU opened up the season against Oregon on "The Blue" now it was the Broncos turn to travel visiting Autzen Stadium "The Zoo". Ranked #13 as the toughest place to play with Sold out crowds avg over 56,000. The Ducks have compiled a 294-164 record well playing at home.

The 2009 game made even more national coverage after the game as RB L. Blount punched MLB B. Hout after exchanging some trash talk. Blount is gone, but Hout remains starting at MLB and is ready to resume his trash talking skills.


GAME RECAP

QB K. Moore has played better then anyone in Week's 1 win over Georgia and Week 2's win over San Diego State throwing for over 800 yds 10 TD and 2 INT.

Tonight would be no different. Moore would connect on TD passes of 35 yds (T. Shoemaker) and 73 yds (TE K. Efaw) as BSU took a 14-9 lead in the 1st Quarter.

In the 2nd Quarter D. Martin would score his 2nd TD of the year and FR S. Brown would add a FG as BSU took a 24-12 lead into the haf.

In the 3rd Quarter it was the Kellen Moore show once again as he connects on TD passes to his brother Kirby (13 yds) and another 67 yd pass to Tyler Shoemaker, to help BSU to a 34-19 lead at the end of the 3rd.

Oregon would rally in the 4th scoring on 3 Touchdowns, 2 by RB K. Barner (2 yd pass and 4 yd run) after a INT by K. Moore his only mistake on the night. The Ducks would go for the 2pt Conversion on all 3 attempts converting 2 of 3 to take a 41-39 lead with 2:56 to play.

Leading his team back onto the field, Moore would complete 4/4 passes helping set up a 4 yd TD run by D. Martin (his 2nd of the day) with 1:23 to play to give BSU the 45-41 lead. Oregon's D. Thomas who had also already thrown 4 TD's on the day would try and make it 5 as he lead the Ducks down the field for the game winning drive, but FS C. Febis would step up huge picking off the pass in the endzone to perserve the win.

FINAL SCORE BSU-45 OREGON-41

POST GAME COMMENTS BY COACH PETE

"Obviously I am proud of how the guy's played tonight. Kellen was amazing as usual. His lone INT was a tip ball by the D-Line. Our "D" played great for 3 quarters, but you could tell they were starting to get tired in the 4th. I take responsiblity for not subbing in more guys and keep them fresh. I am really proud of TE K. Efaw. He has been a huge weapon for us, with Pettis and Young gone, he has done a great job of streatching the field and giving us a deep ball option down the field. (He has 20 catches for 402 yds and 2 TD's in the last 2 games)

UP NEXT- (1-1) UTEP in the Home Opener at Bronco Stadium, now rated the #2 Toughest place to play.

Sounds like a crazy game vs. Oregon, glad to see you pulled it off, how close were they to the endzone when you picked off the ball?

It was about a 20 yd pass, that I grabbed in the endzone, kneeled down and then let Martin run out the clock.
