Oregon State 35, Arizona State 27

The Sun Devils fell to Oregon State 35-27 Saturday night in Corvalis to fall to 8-2 on the season.  The Devils are still in the running for the PAC12 South title but their national championship hopes were killed with this loss.  Playing in Corvalis on a cold November night was just too much for the Sun Devils.  This one really hurts too, they were in control at the half and let it slip away.  Ouch.

Observations:

• Those 2 big Oregon State touchdowns were a bad omen. 
• Except for the outcomes, that second half was very reminiscent of last weeks game. 
• Taylor Kelly had a very inconsistent night.  
• Second half scoring:  Oregon State 21, Arizona State 3
• ASU is now 23-1 under Todd Graham when leading at the half.
• Oregon State had a much too easy time running the ball. 
• That was a heckuva TD catch and run by Kody Kohl. 
• Marcus Hardison has been a beast lately.  
• D.J. Calhoun is having a nice freshman season for Arizona State.
• I was underwhelmed by Sean Mannion.  Overrated?  
• Arizona State has quite the high scoring defense! 
• Taylor Kelly does have a knack for the pooch punt. 
• Oregon State did a relatively nice job of keeping Jaelen Strong in check. 
• That missed 27 yard field goal by Arizona State was a real killer. 
• Taylor Kelly keeps climbing the ASU record books.  
• Oregon State was pretty abysmal on third down.  1 of 12.  
• I'm not sure about those all white Sun Devil uniforms. 
• It was a very cold night in Corvalis.  Advantage Beavers. 
• The Oregon State fans apparently aren't too keen on this Beavers team.
• Up next?  Washington State next Saturday @ Sun Devil Stadium.
