Oregon State has not scored in the 3rd quarter against a Pac-12 opponent yet. period. in pac-12 play they have been outscored 41-0. no TDs, no FGs.
They have 3 3rd quarter TDs on the year on offense one against Weber St and two against SJSU.
Now certainly a lot of our stats are troubling. we are 2-7! But I am particularly perturbed about his one because I think it speaks to coaching and adjustments. coming out at halftime, you have seen what the the game is doing. you know what works and what doesn't work. you can adapt and make adjustments.
or not in our case.
Maybe I am seeing something where there is nothing. certainly this could be an artifact of us just not being good. It isn't like we are really scoring anyways. We The 120th out of 128th ranked offense in the nation. The next worse Pac-12 club is Colorado and they are #73 and average 10 points a game more than us...But, I dunno. A lot of weight is always put in that 3rd quarter. it is where you seal the win or launch your comeback. where you really wrestle for control. What I see is teams quickly catch on to whatever little wrinkle we had scripted early in the game, and we've got nothing and apparently all we are doing at half time is hanging our heads and sippin' Gatorade.
Nobody expected a Rose Bowl run this year, but jeez I think most of us expected to be competitive.
