Northwestern Football Top Ten 2015 Highlights #8

#8: Clayton Thorson's 16 yard run vs Purdue. On the surface, this play may seem inconsequential, but the circumstances make this play special. Northwestern had played a terrible game up to this point and they were tied at 14 with Purdue. Clayton Thorson had been benched earlier in the game, and soon after coming coming back he faced 3rd and 13 from the Purdue 37 with 6:22 remaining in the game. Thorson took the snap and scrambled to his left; when he got to the line of scrimmage, he cut back to his right. To top it off a defender hit him a yard short of the first down, and Thorson dragged the defender the final four yards to pick up the first down and more.

Beaver Football preview

Last year Oregon State went 2-10. Although in the civil war the beavers showed some promise. They lost 52-42. Seth Collins played outstanding in that game running some trick plays, playing QB, and receiver. Ryan Nall had some big runs and finally a Oregon state running back ran for big time yards. This coming year Oregon state needs to find a quarterback. I don't think Marcus McMaryion will cut it. With Seth Collins playing all over the place and being very athletic is a huge boost. Also adding two four star recruits to the team. I believe the beavers at the least will win 4 games.
