[osubroncos86]

Here we go, 4th quarter!! 15 minutes left to play!!

2nd and 1 from the OSU 34: Pass complete to Bryant, he's down to the Oregon 35!!! He will have broken the record by now, but he's down again. It's that knee again. Crap. Hope he'll be ok.

It's official, he owns the Holiday Bowl Reception Record.

1st and 10 from the Oregon 35: Robinson throws to Bo Bowling, who throws it back to Robinson!!! Robinson races down the sideline, down to the 14!!!! He's so fast!!!

1st and 10 from the 14: Pass complete to Hunter, he gains 7.

2nd and 3: Hunter plows his way to the 3, and he's got the 1st down!!

1st and Goal from the Oregon 3: (Whoa, Bryant's back in!) Robinson sneaks, gets 2.

2nd and Goal: Sneak by Robinson again, HE'S IN!!! TOUCHDOWN!!!! Cowboys retake the lead!!!

This is the offensive matchup everyone talked about!!! What a game thus far!!!

Extra point: Good!

Cowboys lead it, 31-28, and Zac Robinson just surpassed Mike Gundy's record for total offense!!!! Way to go Zac, we're proud of ya buddy!!!

Here we go again, OSU will kickoff with 12:13 left in the game.

OSU kickoff: Fielded by ???, stopped just past the 20.

1st and 10 from the Oregon 22: Masoli rushes for the 1st down. Man that kid's quick.

1st and 10 from the Oregon 37: Masoli pass dropped. Thank God, there was a lot of room for him to run.

2nd and 10: Johnson rushes for the 1st down, across the 45.

1st and 10 from the Oregon 48: Pass complete for a big gain, he's down to the OSU 25 at least. DAMNIT!!! It's an offensive slugfest!!

Oregon's center, Max Unger is down. It looked like his knee bent funny. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery by him. Commercial break during the injury timeout.

[osubroncos86]

Still Oregon ball.

1st and 10 from the OSU 20: Masoli chased out of bounds, no gain.

2nd and 10: Masoli pass complete in the endzone to Williams, Touchdown Oregon.

Extra point: Good.

Oregon takes the lead again, 35-31.

Come on Cowboys, keep up the good offense!!!! We need this!!! I wanna see us have a 10-win season!!!

Also, they just showed Unger getting worked on at the sideline. He may be out for the game.

[osubroncos86]

Oregon kickoff: Taken by Perrish Cox, he gets to the 25.

1st and 10 from the OSU 27: Robinson pass thrown too short to Hunter.

2nd and 10: Robinson sacked. Man.

3rd and 14: Robinson pass deflected in the secondary. CRAP!!!

4th and 14: Fodge punts, it's taken at the Oregon 40, and he falls backwards and is therefore down.

[osubroncos86]

Oregon ball.

1st and 10 from the Oregon 40: Pass complete, short gain.

2nd and 8: Johnson stuffed, loss of 2.

3rd and 10: (Unger is back in the game, has been the whole series) Pass complete, across midfield.

1st and 10 from the OSU 49: Some other RB just took the handoff, gained 5.

2nd and 5: The new RB runs it down the sideline to the 5. It's not looking good for the Pokes.

1st and Goal: The new RB is #9...he rushes to the 1.

2nd and Goal: Didn't see who got the ball, but no gain.

3rd and Goal: #9 rushes in for the Touchdown. Looks like the Pokes are going down.

Wait....official review underway.....and the camera shows that he's down before he got into the endzone!!! It's not a touchdown!!! Interesting call here...do they go for it, or take the 3 points? Announcers are saying they should go for it. Their kicker is practicing on the sideline.

Review is in, and he's down short of the goal line!!

4th and Goal: They're going for it. Here we go....#9 DOESN'T GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! OSU IS STILL ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[osubroncos86]

Cowboys ball, a little over 5 minutes left to play.

1st and 10 from the OSU 2: Pass complete to Pettigrew, 1st down!!!

1st and 10 from the OSU 13: Robinson throws under pressure, overthrown.

2nd and 10: Robinson throws it short. Come on Zac, keep it together!!! We need you now!!!

3rd and 10: Blitz coming, Zac throws, incomplete. CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4th and 10: Fodge punts it, taken at the OSU 45.

[osubroncos86]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but the offense has SUCKED tonight!!!

Oregon ball.

1st and 10 from the OSU 43: Masoli keeps it, rushes for about 5.

2nd and 4: Oregon taking their time with the clock. Masoli sacked!!!

Cowboys take a timeout. 3:44 left to play. Let's hope a fire has been lit under the arses of the OSU players.

[osubroncos86]

My computer knocked me off. #9 for Oregon just clinched it, by the looks of it. He ran it in for the Touchdown to make it 42-31.

9-4 is a good year, but I'm still disappointed. Both of my teams have now lost and ended their seasons in Qualcomm Stadium.

If I say where the Chargers can go, it'll likely violate CoC, so I'll refrain.

[osubroncos86]

OSU ball. Just figured out that #9 is Blount. Had to look it up, couldn't hear the announcers.

1st and 10: Robinson looks exhausted, looks beat-up. Pass thrown short.

2nd and 10: Pass complete to Pettigrew, short gain.

3rd down: Robinson runs the option, is stopped short. Flag down. Facemask on Oregon, we get the automatic first down. We look like we know we're gonna lose.

1st down: Robinson, option keeper. Gains 10.

1st down: Robinson throws a hail mary, almost intercepted.

2nd down: Pass complete to Toston, no gain.

3rd down: Robinson overthrows #84.

4th down: Hail Mary. They look like they don't give a **** anymore. Belloti gets a Gatorade bath.

So congratulations to Oregon, and all that crap. Now my depression is at a max. My Broncos miss the playoffs, Coach Shanahan is fired, and now the Cowboys lose the Holiday Bowl to Oregon. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go be depressed elsewhere.

Interesting nugget of info I found out:

During the Holiday Bowl, Z-Rob took a pretty nasty hit. He stood up holding his lower back. What I didn't know: He suffered from a separated shoulder from that same hit. Gundy came over to see if he was ok, and he waved Gundy off, saying he was fine.

Sonovagun is TOUGH!!!
