Down to the Minute

For those of you who missed watching the Sun Bowl today-you missed some of the best college football of the year!
The Oregon Beavers weren't clicking in their plays right away and thus let the Missouri Tigers score the first touchdown.
With a few incomplete passes there was still some great plays and ball control on both sides.
By half-time our Beavers were behind the Tigers.
It was a very Beaver game in that the Beavs seem to kick into gear in the second half of their games.
They pulled some tactics and turned the score around just to have the Tigers come back with some terrific plays and take the lead away again.
There's no question that Moore definitely had his quarterback plays down and the team was tight.
With about 1:41 left on the clock and the Beavers behind with a 24 38 score most would be ready to head for the car and home.
That was just when head coach Mike Riley pulls a time-out and tells the Beavers to get in there and win...and they promptly went in a made 2 touchdowns.
With 22 seconds left on the clock and a kick would make a tie or a rush would make a win Mike Riley goes for broke and the Sammy Stroughter rushed the few yards for the Beaver win!
Coach Riley said, after the game:
"Just a typical Beaver win!"
Great game and a great year for the Beavers!
