 12th Civil War 4 i The 112th annual Civil War would be one of the most important Civil Wars in history. As the last regular season game of the year, the Beavers had huge stakes riding on this matchup. If the Beavers could beat the Ducks, they would be Pac-10 champs and be headed to the Rose Bowl. This game started off toe to toe with offensive strikes coming from both teams. With his brother on the sidelines injured, James Rodgers would need to play even harder along side Sammie Stroughter and Shane Morales. During the 3rd quarter James was injured after being horsecollared on an offensive play. Losing James Rodgers was the last straw that broke the camels back. Nothing was going the beavers' way . Costly turnovers, and lack of offensive plays along with an Oregon offense our defense couldnt stop make for a hard game for OSU fans to watch. Everyone was in shock, some people even in tears. The Ducks quickly surged ahead in the second half, but it seemed as though we could still catch them, however everytime we would score to lessen the gap, the Ducks would score again to widen it back up. In a 65-38 loss, the Beaver's Rose Bowl hopes were crushed and the team was devastated. Even though Oregon State wasnt going to the Rose Bowl, the Bea- vers were very proud of what they had accomplished throughout the season and could now look ahead to being victorious against Pittsburg in the Brut Sun Bowl.
