8:10-- 13 minutes until kick-off-- no Beanie-- lots of Pryor-- we'll see how it plays out-- here's the game plan-- I'll keep a running commentary on the blog-- at least through the 1st half-- not sure if I'll have time to do it in the 2nd half--- at least we can finally stop talking and start playing

8:20-- OSU ball 1st-- let's see how soon Pryor plays-- will he be in at QB or RB?

8:25 poor kick return puts offense in bad field position, no wonder they didn't try too much in that first series--- D's turn to show up--

8:28-- D showing up-- field position a little in OSU favor-- punted from the 15 Bucks get it back near their 20--

8:36 alternating QB's keeping USC off balance---

8::42-- OSU struggles in the red zone continue--- 

8:44-- 3-0 OSU-- loved to have seen a TD-- but great to see the offense emove the ball like that-- chewed up a lot of time-- keeping the D fresh is going to be important-- liked seeing both QB's in there-- hate to see those red zone struggles continue-- penalties-- sacks-- USC D-- very anxious--

8:51-- USC's offense turn to put the opposing D on their heels-- bad penalty on Wilson-- good to see Homan getting plenty of action

8:53 7-3 USC-- hats off to Havili made a nice catch down the sideline-- offense needs to respond with 7 points--

9:00 2nd penalty on Boone-- what's going on???

9:02-- more or less--- 3 and out-- why go away from the alternating QBs? Worked so well in the 2nd drive---

9:07 this is what I was afraid of-- USC's O too many weapons-- OSU's D getting frustrated

9:10-- 14-0 USC-- big time game-- OSU starts well-- doesn't look good in the 2nd quarter-- when have we seen this before---

9:19-- good to see Pryor back in there-- surprised at all the penalties-- from both teams-- not how either one usually plays--- 

9:23--good drive wasted because of penalties-- very frustrating-- shades of LSU-- Defense MUST make a play in this next series--

9:29-- I'll take the 3 and out-- kinda looked like Laurinaitis ripped that out before the play was dead-- D did their job-- back up to the offense--- 

9:34 21-3 USC game over---Boeckman just threw a pick 6--

9:44-- I'm sorry didn't Jim Cordle come out of that pile with the ball? It'll be a moral victory if they're only down 17 at the break
