With all of the attention surrounding Dewayne Walker taking the NMSU job, and the Kenny debacle, the bowl season may have lapsed from the general Bruin consciousness. With the Rose Bowl to go, the Pac-10 is now 4-0 in this bowl season. In this afternoon's Sun Bowl, Oregon State defeated Big East runner-up Pitt, 3-0, in the lowest scoring bowl game in 50 years.
After allowing Oregon to score 65 points in their regular season finale, the Beavers held the Panthers to only 178 total yards, and allowed only a single failed (58 yard) FG attempt in the final two minutes of regulation.
Congrats to Oregon State on a successful end to this season. And to the University of Arizona, and to Cal, and Oregon. Here's to a 4-1 bowl record for the Pac-10 in 2008-09!
