GAME RECAP
Oregon State would jump out to a early 14-0 lead in the 1st Quarter as WR M. Wheaton scored 2 TD's (31 yd and 89 yd) from QB R. Katz.
Katz then hit's RB Jacquez Rodgers on TD pass's from 15 yds and 12 yds to make it 28-0. Bo Levi Mitchell would finalley get EWU on the scoreboard hitting G. Herd on a 59 yd pass down the sideline as the Eagles go into the locker trailing 28-7.
The Eagles "D" would step up in the 3rd Quarter picking off Katz and keeping the Beavers off thes scoreboard and Mitchell would connect on a 3 yrd pass to WR B. Kauffman to make it 28-14 going into the 4th.
Turnovers plagued the Eagles in the 4th. RB Tawain Jones fumbled a punt return, as OSU recovers and returns it 38 yds for the score, then on the next play Mitchell throws a "Pick 6" that is returned 43 yds for the score to make it (42-14) with 6:54 to play. Not ready to give up the Eagles fight back as RB Tawain Jones scores from 21 yds out and 1 yd out to make it (42-28) with 3:56 to play. After forcing a punt, EWU woudl take the ball over on the 6 yd line. Having already thrown for 400 yds, Mitchell would drop back looking to make something happen but instead would be sacked in the endzone for a saftey (44-28). OSU would look to run out the clock with Rodgers but instead he would break through the line and go 33 yd for the score. OSU would miss the PAT but it was 50-28 with 1:32 to play. Again Mitchell would look to take his team down field to make it somewhat respectable, but another turnover (fumble) would kill the drive and with 21 seconds to play OSU would add a 28 yd FG as they pickup the blowout win.

POST GAME COMMENTS BY COACH BALDWIN
"It's disappointing, but we can't dwell on the past, we have a big matchup in Seattle against the Huskies next week and right now our focus needs to be on them. If we want this program to keep taking steps in the right direction, going 0-3 against the Pac-10 and 0-2 against instate schools isn't going to work."
Notes-B. Levi Mitchell is currently 3rd in the NCAA with 1022 yds passing (K. Moore is 1st with 1403 yds). RB T. Jones currently lead the nation in rushing with 608 yds and has scored 9 TD's in 3 games and WR B. Kauffman lead the nation in Recieving with 24 catches for 576 yds and 6 TD's. Pretty good stats for being a 1-2 team.
