Oregon State UPSETS #1 USC - High Quality - Part 1 - 9/25/08

Highlights from the first half of the Beavers 27-21 win over the #1 ranked USC Trojans from Reser Stadium. First win over a #1 team since the Giant Killers 3-0 victory over the OJ Simpson led Trojans... giant killers again.
Make sure you are watching this video in high quality! It makes a huge difference...
To force KZbin to play higher quality any time it is availible (it "reads" your bandwidth and will give you higher quality if it determines your connection is fast enough... I am on fiber optic internet and sometimes it read me as slow enough to not even give me the option of high quality):
1) Go to "Account" at the top
2) Then "more..."
3) On the next page under "Account" go to "Video Playback Quality"
4) Select "I have a fast connection. Always play higher-quality video when it's available" and SAVE.
5) Done!
ENJOY!
I cannot even begin to explain how insane it was inside Reser Stadium... on the Laybourne INT everyone was jumping on top of everyone else, I was hugging people I didn't know... it was insane. Just an amazing game.

Favorite game of all time

[@brandonjohnson9876]

This still pisses me off. I was sitting in a classroom in basic training, Fort Jackson, SC. When the drill sergeant walked in, he asked if there were any Oklahoma fans in the room. One guy raised his hand. DS said he should be happy, USC lost (I believe Oklahoma was #2 at the time). I didn't find out until the next week when my dad sent me a letter with the newspaper clippings. I was there when they beat USC two years earlier. I wanted to see them beat the #1 team. Go Beavs!

[@rebelpolo]

Quizz was so amazing. It wasn't anything fancy either, just right up the middle in OS' zone block scheme!

[@dowdydoo]

I am one of the kids in the crowd at 48 seconds =) AMAZING GAME!!!

[@ripperduck]

Quiz Rodgers was pound for pound the strongest guy in the PAC-10....

[@sammickelson3512]

I still get chills

[@yoyobeaver]

Man, Reser is a fun place to be as a Beaver fan after in upset!

[@roguetiefling]

Man these Beavs came to play that day. They may have been the underdogs but they sure didn't look like it that first half.

[@clintonjfox]

Unreal game to watch on tv, could not imagine being there. Long live the Quizz Show.

The ten dislikes are Trojan fans

[@N8veJay]

I miss when Oregon State football games had a crowd like this intense, when facing USC, Oregon, ASU, UCLA, now it’s just kind of meh seeing them on TV... wish the PAC-12 would get more hyped like it used to be in the 2000’s and early 2010’s...

[@markd.5471]

I miss the PAC-10.

[@omegamanGXE]

@@markd.5471I miss the Pac-12

[@mcleanse]

Wonder what Mack Brown and Bob Stoops were thinking after seeing this performance from a Texas kid that wasn't recruited by any Big 12 schools

[@marvinthiessen3454]

Quizz was ignored because he was only 5'6 or maybe 5'7 on a good day. After the USC game, those 2 coaches were on the phones screaming at their scouts.

[@rebelpolo]

I don't think watching this these highlights will ever get old. Best game I've ever been to. The Beavers were unreally that night!~ Go Beavers! kick the shit out of the Ucks next thursday!

[@apeters38]

This was a great game my boy Sammie did a great job along with the rest of the Beavers.

[@spartanairsoft98989]

Go Beavs!! Yeah!! Not too many great legendary players, but they've got the heart and spirit and strength to knock down the best of 'em!

[@TheAppleCowProdigy]

I love how even the announcers are pissed USC isn't winning.

[@RJ_Niko7Gaming]

What made me smile...Chris Fowler calling this game, OSU kicking USC's ass!

[@camc9093]

I could have went to this game but I didn’t for some reason. One of my biggest regrets

[@tinohernandez7370]

There were a lot of great players on the field that night on both teams. OS defense looked stout.

[@atm8705]

Well congratulations my man, you beat the teams that nobody pays attention to. I'll just keep enjoying my team, USC, winning in games that matter. See you in the shoe.

[@WyattMcpimp]

That's my beavers! I wish didn't miss that game...

[@watchteeman9803]

My brother was the starting CB on this Oregon St team. Keenan Lewis #6

[@HBSThugLife]

Al Afalava was my all time favorite safety on the Beavers!! Definitely one of the greatest beaver teams! Obviously no other beaver team can match the 2001 beavers

[@jaydubb07]

Al was a beast! I remember when he sent Jake Locker (UW QB) to the hospital from a huge hit. Locker thought he was a running QB, and Al made him pay

[@omegamanGXE]

@@jaydubb07That was a dirty hit

[@ub3rweiner]

The Rodgers bros. and Stroughter were like watching bobble heads after big plays, Givin USC some mean lip!!!

favorite game o f the beavs!

[@panthersmith11]

i was there on the new side! it was AWESOME!

[@osubeaver28]

Quizz Rogers had moves on moves. Sucks we only have hime for three more years!

[@TornadoRex.]

All of the Bucs fans down here in Tampa are VERY excited to have Sammie on our team. We're expecting a lot of good things from him!

[@hunterman823]

Quizz is about to do this for ATL.

[@Sportsgeek1991]

Oregon state owned usc in Corvallis for a while 06 , 08 , & 2010

[@lowelldunmire6498]

I think it's pretty safe to say at this point, that this will go down as the greatest game in Oregon State Football history

[@mister_bailey]

Great game last season. I'm a transplanted Trojan follower, but I'll keep it real: Oregon State WORKED USC down in the trenches. There probably wasn't another squad they faced last year that dominated them up front like that.

[@mister_bailey]

Any Oregon State people know the name of that tune the band plays when they get a first down?

[@JojoStokes]

Very hard to beleive that stadium holds only 27k capacity. That place sounded very loud all game. Great fans.

[@thomasg86]

At this point it held 45,000ish. The capacity was only 27k for one year, 2022, as they tore down the old grandstand and were in construction mid-season. The new capacity will be in the high 30's as a bunch of bench seating is getting replaced with chairbacks and premium club type stuff. However, Reser was LOUD in 2022 with only 27k, so it goes to show you that atmosphere is more about spirit than sheer numbers. The design of Reser also does a good job reflecting sound around back onto the field.

[@JojoStokes]

Oh okay, that makes a lot more sense. Yeah, it’s a beautiful stadium and it’s always cool to see such a highly passionate crowd. Hopefully this year Oregon State can make a run for the playoffs or natty. Im an Ole Miss fan, but always enjoyed watching Utah and Oregon State in the PAC 12. Also enjoyed seeing Oregon State beat Arkansas for the natty in baseball 😂

[@thomasg86]

@@JojoStokes Yeah, I was at that CWS in Omaha against Arkansas, great memories. 😂 Hello fellow non-blue blood being overlooked constantly for the "sexier" teams in the conference. Hopefully we can meet in the CFP! 😉

[@glencoe428]

Hate OSU to the bone but it made me smile that SC went down

[@ub3rweiner]

David vs. Goliath redux. Go beavs

[@thetragedyofcommons]

dang that usc coach was a total disappointment i’m sure he probably hasn’t amounted to much since then

[@omegamanGXE]

roflmao

[@rebelpolo]

I agree somewhat, but Washington, a team coming off a 0-12 season... no friggin way USC should have lost to them.

[@CorranH99]

Cause its ESPN, their shocked whenever someone outside the top 25 shows they can actually play football haha

[@mister_bailey]

And another thing...just to throw in my two cents in the discussion between USC and Ohio State. USC may lose one every year to someone they should beat, but you gotta say that unlike the Buckeyes lately, they DO win the big games when they count. OSU's not necessarily playing in the SEC these days, either.

[@Dakers11]

Its funny SC has the probably the best weather and the some of the most talented players in college football. Then we go into Oregon st. Barkly gets hurt, no excuses. We get our a**e* handed to us. I can't say Oregon St. isn't talented, they are. I just want to know, "WHAT THE HELL HAPPEN TO OUR GREAT PROGRAM" . OREGON St. 36 USC 7.

[@atm8705]

USC dominates teams from any other conference. End of story.

[@NewGenerationTrackandField]

Giant Killers, The Third Edition

[@rockgibson14]

lets beat em again beavs! i know we lost to the cougs, but we cant let that ruin our season. fact is guys, we play a hell of a lot better against tougher teams, the only reason why we loose easy ones is because we go into them thinking were gonna own. DOWN WITH THE TROJANS!!!

[@Maal7432]

dude i have like uscs players but not the team, reggie bush is my fav player next to peyton, ohio state and usc r kind of rivals man bcuz of our bowl hisrory

[@hoofa28]

u guyz are missing the point completely...oregon state played as a team..thats why they won..quiz didnt win by himself... osu has a very underrated defense which dominates every year! go beavz!

[@HMbeav8404]

Make Reser Great Again

[@amorrison32]

Mike Riley simpley outcoached Pete. The man deserves credit. He gets it done. SC needs to play the best guys, and allwo Stafon and CJ to take the lead and mix Joe McKnight in. He is good, but they clearly cater to him for whatever reason. He is only good in space, and cant run in between the tackles without them putting him on the move pre-snap. Stafon & CJ are tremendous runners and it is a shame they are trapped in this "make Joe happy" scenario. Hec, Jahvid Best is better than McKnight.

[@robertmaxwellproduce]

ooo yea they sound tough... number one defense against... whos in the pac 10? arizona and all those weak teams. pretty badass.

[@Maal7432]

@atm8705 and we r headed to pasadena GO BUCKS!!!

[@TheTysonmegaman3]

Think's to that inception by Sammy Strather to help out Oregon state. To give USC a wakeup call. The MVP Jacquizz and Jame's Roger. Brother's. This shocked me the most #1 team getting beat by Oregon st. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@amorrison32]

This game wasnt about athletes. I still believe that USC would beat these guys if they played again. This was a simple gameplan executed well by Mike Riley. He saw something no one else in the nation did, and exploited it. Taking a 5-6 runner and sending him downhill at this "insurmountable" D. I think SC was a victim of trying to make guys (namely Joe McKinight) happy and not allowing the game to come to them. All of that cutsie motion crap they did and BOOM, down 21-0. Keep it simple. OSU did.

[@Maal7432]

@Tampabaybama no duh i admit that

[@kingtigertank42]

its funny wen you look at the two teams most of usc players are taller and bigger then oregon states players

PWNED!

[@Maal7432]

Yea I understand where ur comin from, we haven't won our big games I admit that. We only choked against Florida bcuz we wurr Heavily favs, but our other big games we wurr underdogs, but we still got embarrased. It's just nit our time to win anything time changes. Now u got teams winning that werent 15-20 years ago. Like Florida lsu Boise state, more upsets r happening bcuz programs r gettin on the map and recruiting better

[@DesertMonsoon32]

Haha Sanchez couldnt even win in Corvallis. Good win Beavers

[@atm8705]

USC set a record for winning the Rose Bowl 3 years in a row... aka.... WE'RE TIRED OF THE ROSE BOWL. Hahahaha. enjoy that. We'll go beat a team from a new conference in the Fiesta Bowl or something. USC lost to Oregon in 2007 when they were #2 in the nation, lost to Oregon State in 2008 when they ended the season a ranked 9-4 team, and lost to Oregon this year when they were in the Top 10 again. USC doesn't lose to only unranked teams, but at least they can win big games! ;-)

[@Maal7432]

ima ohio state fan and i know we lost our last couple big games bust usc is overrated 2 they lose to unranked schools the last couple seasons Stanford UCLA OregonSt, they get exposed against those schools badly, Great Job Beavers i wuz lovin this victory

[@atm8705]

Oh by the way, that was 3 heisman winners in 4 years; 7 total. just in case you wanted to compare that to the oregon state heisman winners.. if there are any..?

[@TheOpinionSports]

usc got their sorry butts handed to em this game, they choked hard in this game just like they choked in 07 and 06 and 05

[@Maal7432]

i wuznt callin them a weak team, i wuz meaning like teams that r weaker than them. i should have worded it different my bad. And we only chocked to Florida ill admit that, but texas and lsu we wurr underdoggs i dont call those chocking games. Were still a power house team. and i like oregon states team

[@atm8705]

not quite. you should research your college football and realize that victories against the trojans are few and far between.. pretty hard to come by.. you can see that for yourself on new years day.

[@bettelyoun2009]

as a duck fan i loved this i cheer for anybody that beats usc.

[@atm8705]

Btw. that "weak ass school" that "exposed" USC ended the season ranked 9-4, just like the Ole Miss team that beat Florida at the swamp. Yes, that same Oregon State team, you know who they lost to? Utah, who went 13-0 and beat Alabama. On the road at Penn State. Man, get a clue. Got love for terrelle pryor, dude is a beast, but don't talk crap until you win the games that matter.

[@Maal7432]

@atm8705 and how man times to we lose to unranked teams? yall lose to them every year thats y yalls asses aint goin to the rose bowl

[@robertmaxwellproduce]

i know they do. why is it i can only hate a team if they suck? i know they are a good team, i just hate them and they are overrated. there are other teams in the nation that beat teams from other conferences.

[@Maal7432]

no we r a power house team were always in the itle hunt. how can u say usc is a power house, arent they suppose to beat there weaker opponets that arent ranked? yea i thought so. ohio state is still a top 3 program of all-time i knw u dnt wanna admit it but its the truth

[@toyotamanm84]

lol! I love any team in the pac 12 that beats USC!

[@Maal7432]

dont u get that i hate usc, o i forgot ohio state dosent lose to unranked teams that u guys should beat, i can say wut the hell i wanna say man

[@ValPicinichFan4Life]

Reser Stadium has been a house of horrors for U$C. They've only won twice there this millenium. Go Beavers!

[@atm8705]

wow. i'll just end this ridiculously lame argument now. maybe i'll respond to someone who can respond intelligently.

[@atm8705]

bashing USC for losing to teams like oregon state and washington doesn't make sense when your team, ohio state, lost to purdue. yikes.

[@hoofa28]

haha thats ridiculous..he dont run a 4.6..get your facts straight

[@AmericanMetalhead100]

Cheat Carrol got beat to death and back this game.

[@kingtigertank42]

if one of those usc players could of got a good hit on that small running back they might of destoryed oregon state

[@mariokart6444]

lsu does suck, usc every year is like were the best blabla then the lose ;p, flroida still sucks were the best blabla well you lost to ole miss kinda sad and didn't they lose to michigan in the bowl game, alabama could be the best team right now or missouri, texas will lose and so will oklahoma which will lose in a conference game or in a bowl game again watch out for utah,byu,boise state, vanderbilt. they are good and there proving why the BCS needs a playoff bad

[@atm8705]

Overrated? A team that has dominated this shitty pac10 conference for what will now be the 7th year. 2 national titles and 3 heisman winners. 6 straight BCS bowl appearances with 5 wins. don't worry you were right about one thing; USC was beat mentally in this game. so what's next? oregon state: nothing. USC: another BCS bowl; Rose Bowl or National Championship. Fight On!
