Another victory for me in my Bowl Nerd season!

Of course, this elevates me only to 2-6, but still...

Yeah...

Another major misfortune of not doing a little work on the depth charts is that I played with Lyle Moevao as the Beaver starter at QB as opposed to Sean Canfield. Well, it wasn't misfortune for me, as I was able to use him and the Rodgers brothers to take BYU down by a 34-21 tally.

I really liked using the three players mentioned above, but I definitely felt like I should have been able to do more with them. I'm sure they are among the more interesting players to use in this game, especially in the hands of someone more capable at this game.

I honestly thought that with BYU ranked in the game, I'd maybe have even more success on the flip side of the matchup, but it was the Oregon State defense with all the answers for Max Hall and Harvey Unga. I managed only one late score in a 31-8 OSU rout.

This game motivated me to do a little research, which revealed that there are at least one set of rosters which had been updated fairly regularly throughout the season, I downloaded them for use through the rest of the bowl season. I'm sure there will be some other discrepancies, especially with suspensions and late injuries, but they'll just have to be close enough.
