The curtain has fallen in Corvalis for Arizona State's College Football Playoff chances as Oregon State defeated the Sun Devils 35-27.
The 12th man was present at Reser Stadium and that fans made life difficult for the Sun Devils.
“The crowd was awesome, the atmosphere was great." Oregon State head coach Mike Riley said. "It’s great to see us just cut loose and play football. It was hard, it was good, I really appreciate how our team responded.”
One of those Oregon State players that cut loose was Beaver QB Sean Mannion who figured out ASU's defense with a pair of second half touchdown passes. Mannion ended the game throwing for 251 yards.
"It was a great team victory just the way we won it against a great opponent." Mannion said. "ASU is as tough as anybody we have to tip our hats to them. iI think every aspect of the game came up, the run game was outstanding."
Oregon State sealed the upset when linebacker Michael Doctor picked off a Tyler Kelly pass late in the fourth quarterback and returned it 33 yards for a touchdown that sent the Beaver fans into a frenzy.
"We knew we didn't have anything to lose," Doctor said.
Arizona State falls to 8-2 overall, 5-2 in conference but it's CFB playoff hopes are pretty much dead.
Oregon State is now 5-5 overall and needs one more win to go to a bowl game.

CFB Shocker: EWU Eagles Soar Over Oregon State
Kansas State now has some company in the room of being upset by a FCS school in your home opener.
Saturday it was Eastern Washington that stunned the Oregon State fans in Corvallis by defeating the Beavers 49-46.
Sophomore quarterback Vernon Adams, who had 518 yards of total offense, punched it in the end zone with 18 seconds left to put the Eagles on top for good.
Oregon State kicker Trevor Romaine had a chance to tie it but his field goal attempt sailed wide right.
“This is a huge win." Eastern Washington head coach Beau Baldwin said. "We aren’t talking about an average team, we are talking about a bowl team and a big-time opponent that is well-coached. It took every ounce of every minute in this sucker to get it done.”
Eagle quarterback Vernon Adams deserved the game ball. Adams threw for 411 yards and rushed for 107.
He was doing it with his legs and making all the right decisions." Baldwin said. "That was the thing I loved about it. He was making all of these plays, but he was also taking care of the football and being smart when he needed to."
“You don’t really prepare for something like that and we were a step behind." Oregon State head coach Mike Riley said. "He was eluding tackles, which I think was a major factor in the game, the number of tackles that he made us miss and number of missed opportunities we had to sack him. And then there were the big plays he made. Early in the game he set the tone for how the rest of the game went.”
Oregon State will host Hawaii in Corvallis next Saturday.

Whoa! Oregon State With Possibly Worst Hype Video Ever
((ht: biglead.com))
Parents, please be careful that you don't watch this with your kids. There is a good possibility, they'll be scarred for life.
Sure, we, like most everyone else gets a kick out of seeing "Hype" or Dance videos created to pump up a College Football team or their fans.
But sometimes an idea that sounded fairly good on paper, doesn't necessarily translate so well to video.
Take this one produced by Oregon State for example--
In no particular order, it features:
A Beaver
A guy with a chainsaw looking vaguely Texas Chainsaw Massacare-ish
A group of people with chainsaws appearing to be pulling them, much in the manner one might do to--shall we say--pleasure themselves.
Cheerleaders
And did we say a Beaver?
While we get the reference of Beaver's chopping down trees, visually, it doesn't translate so well. Neither do the semi-diverse cheerleaders or for that matter the alleged creepy looking lumberjacks...
But the video still lives. Watch at your own risk:
