Jessica and I had a great weekend in Vegas these past few days. Friday night we went to the temple with Zach. On Saturday, we watched football almost all day- can't ask for a better Saturday than that! The best part was going to the OSU vs UNLV game. The game started at 8pm so the temperature was only in the 90's. We were sitting on the second row, 35-yard line, right behind the UNLV team, so we were right in the action.
The first quarter ended 0-0 in kind of a deadlock. The Beavers turned it up in the second and third quarters, outscoring the Rebels 20-7, but missing a critical extra-point kick. The fourth quarter raised my blood pressure to an unhealthy level as UNLV scored two unanswered touchdowns to go ahead 21-20 with little time remaining and the wind blowing hard against the Beavers.
Bleak would be the best way to describe our hopes as the clock ticked and confidence wained. As our drive was about to end as quick as it started, a personal interference call gave the Beavers a first down and renewed hope, but there was still most of the field to cover to get into field goal range. A couple of key completions by Canfield and a much-needed first down run by Quizz Rodgers got the Beavers close enough for Kahut to kick the winning field goal.
Amazing game!
Quizz Rodgers ran for 166 yards, had over 200 total yards, and added a touchdown as the Oregon State Beavers beat the UNLV Rebels 23-21 on Saturday night.
Kahut kicked a 33-yard field goal with 7 seconds left (and against a strong wind) for the win.
