This thread is reminding me that Julius "JJ" Young died of cancer two years ago at the age of 49. It is still very sad.

I noticed that it is Fentress writing the articles. You know for sure who #9 will be, he just wants to rub our noses in it. To be fair, JS deserves it, as much as we hate him now. He was an important player in our history. And a pretty decent coach. He can still f%#* himself with a cactus, though. |

JJ Young is my pick for 9. I was standing in the southeast corner of the stadium when he made that long cutback td run against the huskies. So awesome. 14-3 at halftime, good guys. If only we could have won that game, ugh... and many others of course :-) |

JJ Young was their leading rusher. As a kid, I loved the triple option and it felt like the Beavers were about to turn a corner. Tim Alexander breaking his collar bone in a winnable (felt winnable to me) game against USC may have been the beginning of the end for Pettibone. If I remember correctly, he was being pressured to have his offense throw more in 1995 and they ended up at 1-10. |

If only we could have won that game, ugh... and many others of course :-) I too was also in that corner. North end zone. 1993. 14-3 at the half behind two long J.J. Young runs. The first was the 48-yard cutback run for a touchdown. The second was a 34-yarder, where Young got to the corner first and just flew by the Washington secondary. At halftime, Oregon State had outgained Washington 200-32, and 124 of those 200 yards were on Young runs. On Washington's first drive of the second half, the refs called defensive holding on defensive lineman, Packy Ena, which was ridiculous. The call enabled the Huskies to drive 55 yards to set up a field goal, 14-6. On Oregon State's next drive, J.J. Young lost 11 yards on third-and-two in Washington territory to set up a punt. (One of only two times in J.J. Young's 22 carries that Young lost yardage.) The Huskies, aided by a phantom pass interference call against William Ephraim drove for a touchdown, Napoleon Kaufman running the final 38 yards for a touchdown. Washington passed for two points and the tie. J.J. Young fell down at the four on the subsequent kickoff return, and fullback, John Young, fumbled at the eight on the very next play. Three plays later, Washington was up 21-14. In the fourth quarter, Herschel Currie did everything he could but was beat for a 45-yard touchdown pass down to the one less than two minutes into the fourth quarter. The Huskies punched it in from the one to make it 28-14. In less than four minutes, Washington scored 25 points. Young ran for a third touchdown from eight yards out with 1:13 left. Oregon State's onside kick was recovered by Chris Royal, but someone took it away from him after he tried to hold it up to show the refs, and the refs awarded the ball to Washington to ice it. Oregon State rushed for the most yards against Washington all season, 258 yards. J.J. Young rushed for 151 of those 258. It was J.J. Young's fifth 100-yard rushing game, the first time that a running back had done that since Bill Enyart back in 1968. The three games after the 34-9 beatdown in the Coliseum was a 20-17 loss to UCLA, a 31-27 loss to Stanford, and a 28-21 loss to Washington. Oregon State could have very easily been 6-4 but was 3-7 instead. |

Those three games were on consecutive weekends. 1994 ARIZONA STATE 22 - Oregon State 16, USC 27 - OREGON STATE 19, Stanford 35 - OREGON STATE 29, & Oregon 17 - OREGON STATE 13. A close one in the season opener, both home games around the first win at the Rose Bowl, and then a close one in the Civil War. That USC game was very winnable. But Alexander's broken collarbone cost Oregon State the game. In 1995, Pettibone went to more of a flexbone rather than a wishbone offense to try and pass more, which was just stupid. Pettibone ran the wishbone. He was in over his head trying to add in flexbone elements. |

He wasn't protecting the ball and somebody who had no chance of tackling him punched it out. Or maybe that was 1995. |

1993 UCLA 20 - OREGON STATE 17, STANFORD 31 - Oregon State 27, & Washington 28 - OREGON STATE 21. Those three games were on consecutive weekends. 1994 ARIZONA STATE 22 - Oregon State 16, USC 27 - OREGON STATE 19, Stanford 35 - OREGON STATE 29, & Oregon 17 - OREGON STATE 13. A close one in the season opener, both home games around the first win at the Rose Bowl, and then a close one in the Civil War. That USC game was very winnable. But Alexander's broken collarbone cost Oregon State the game.In 1995, Pettibone went to more of a flexbone rather than a wishbone offense to try and pass more, which was just stupid. Pettibone ran the wishbone. He was in over his head trying to add in flexbone elements. He was heavily pressured by boosters to open up the offense.......it was a bad idea. I seem to recall Alexander making USC look really, really silly in that game, and his talent was obviously next level. However, he was a true freshman, and hadn't figured out that stepping out of bounds earlier vs. getting that "tough yard" against a USC linebacker would be prudent......and it cost him a season and a broken collarbone to learn that lesson. Sigh - Beavers were so snake bit in the 90s (and 80s)..... Go Beavers! |

Alexander was also 2/4 for 27 yards throwing the ball (both passes to Cam Reynolds). Alexander then ran for 31 yards down to the USC 14. Linebacker Errol Small broke Alexander's clavicle in three place on the play. Three plays later, Rahim Muhammad committed the game's lone turnover, a fumble at the Trojan 7. Oregon State got the ball back with 1:41 left with no timeouts and got down to the USC 33 before Muhammad was sacked to end the game. 27-19. |

Oregon State got the ball back with 1:41 left with no timeouts and got down to the USC 33 before Muhammad was sacked to end the game. 27-19. Going from memory - Each year Pettibone would implement the double option in mid-season. Instead of the mesh (belly series) with the fullback, the quarterback would dash towards the sideline with a tailback as a pitch option. USC had not seen it and had not prepared for an about 4.3 quarterback getting to the edge as quickly as possible. |
