Cliff: OSU football notes Comments
The Oregon State football team will not leave the Pacific Time Zone this season. The road trips are to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Berkeley, Pullman and Tempe during the time of year it’s still on West Coast time.
The last time that happened was 2003 when their road trips, other than those in the Pacific-10 Conference, were to Fresno and Las Vegas, for a bowl game.
100 yards are good
When an OSU rusher tops 100 yards in a game it usually means a victory. The Beavers have won 14 of their last 15 games when a rusher gains 100 yards. The only loss in that period was Oct. 2, 2008 at Utah when Jacquizz Rodgers ran for 101 yards.
Rodgers, his brother James Rodgers, Yvenson Bernard and Matthew Sieverson are the individuals who have accounted for the 100 yard outings.
Happy 100
Saturday’s game will be the 100th for coach Mike Riley with the Beavers. He has a 57-42 record and is six victories short of matching Tommy Prothro for second all-time in OSU wins.
Links and video
Here’’s a link to my Wednesday notebook in the GT. It leads off with how the Beavers plan to use RB Jacquizz Rodgers more in the passing game.
The below video are highlights of DT Stephen Paea I found. I taped in interview with him Tuesday, but the sound is so terrible due to being next to a crowed lunch room, it’s not worth showing.
Hoop note
Former men’s basketball player Rickey Claitt signed with Horsens IC of Horsens, Denmark, a professional team in the Denmark-Basketligaen League. Horsens IC is a four-time Danish League champion, won the title in 2006 and advanced to the Danish Cup finals in 2008.
Claitt lettered in 2008 and 2009 and helped lead the Beavers to the College Basketball Invitational championship as a senior, when he averaged 7.4 points and 2.6 assists while shooting 56 percent. Claitt averaged 5.4 points in 67 career games.
