Halftime in San Diego

7:01: Halftime here, and on the field are roughly 1,000 band members and probably as many cheerleaders and flag team members from local high schools.
Uh, cool.
Back to the football. At the half, Oregon has 8 first downs, 239 total yards on 31 plays. OK State has 16 first downs and 250 yards on 45 offensive plays. Oregon has been keeping up with several big explosion plays, but what have they really meant? Seven points. Everything else has been stuffed as soon as Oregon gets into the red zone. You’ll know why UO loses if this continues.
OK State has impresed me so far with their defense in both quarters minus those few huge plays, and its offense in the first.
Jeremiah Johnson has 86 yards on five carries, (17.2 ypc) while Kendall Hunter only has 20 yards on eight carries. Remember, this was a guy with 1,300 yards coming into the game.
Masoli has 135 yards passing on eight completions, and Zac Robinson has 180 yards on 15 completions.
OK, back to the halftime show. Great fireworks display, lots of confused teenagers running (some with tubas, watch out) and some carrot cake in the press box. Meet you back here for the third.
