Both of those guys were hauling in passes from Jonathan Smith all night long, and carving up our defense.

Just as a side note, our defense actually had some good players on it, and was an overall solid unit. Davie refused to change up the play calls, and kept doing the exact same thing on offense and defense.

The defense was doing OK for the first half, but got worn down badly in the 2nd half, and the rest is history.

The Oregon State guys knew exactly what play we were going to run on offense, even calling it out, and also knew what defense we had called, and utterly destroyed us. Smith wasn't even a 50% passer that year, and still blew us out.

I have to tip my cap to the sleazy one, Dennis Erickson... He knew exactly what mercenaries to get out of the junior college rosters just for that one year.
