how to frame a baseball jersey, baseball shirt design your own Goals for the Oregon State football team this Saturday in theseason opener are to win and play efficiently. However, linebacker Keith Pankey gets a little more explicit. Hewants all those things, and for the Beavers to beat Portland Statebig. There's no animosity from him toward the Vikings, he's justlooking at the big picture. "Execution and the amount of guys who get to play areimportant," Pankey said. "It would really be nice to get the youngguys in there as soon as possible. They can get as many reps asthey can. It comes down to we have to shut them down. "A good outing for us is to dominate the run game, the pass gameand everything in-between. We want to get the young guys in thegame soon." The Beavers are favored this weekend. They face a lower divisionteam from the former Division I-AA, now the Football ChampionshipSubdivision. Neither of the two previous meetings jerseys was close, 51-14 in 1983and 41-14 in 2005. The first game was back when the Beavers wereone of the worst major programs in the nation. "They are not in the same division, but we still respecteverybody," quarterback Sean Canfield said. "Our mentality is it'sjust another team and we have to do what we have to do." What the Beavers need to do is play without bonehead mistakes,coach Mike Riley said. He doesn't want offside and proceduralpenalties, but does expect good clock management and substitutionsto run smoothly. If they accomplish these little things, the rest will take careof itself. "Dumb teams don't win," Riley said. "We have to build to be asmart, aware, efficient, tough football team." In the way is a team on the rise with third-year coach JerryGlanville. He's savvy-minded with extensive NFL and collegeexperience. One of Glanville's first big statements with the Vikings was achallenge to Oregon and Oregon State to play his team on a regularbasis. It's a win-win for him. Playing them is a good experience to face better programs, whichhelps prepare the Vikings for the Big Sky Conference. If they win,it could springboard them into a successful season. A loss by the Beavers could throw the team into disarray. Eachwin is vital in reaching the minimum six to become bowleligible. Starting fast and winning the early games is another must forOSU. The second half of the season is loaded with three difficultroad games at Southern California, California and Oregon. "I sure don't like this thing at all," Riley said of thescenario. "They will be ready to go. I know what the expectationsare for a game like this. So I think we can't buy into any of that.We have to play a good game or you could be Michigan againstAppalachian State." Riley's referen jerseysce is to the Appalachian State upset of Michiganin 2007 that shocked the sports world. Michigan overlooked its opponent, and became a teaching pointfor coaches for the rest of time. Riley plans to remind his playersof that again this week. "I'm sure it's a tendency to do that with what they hear thegame should be, but we'll fight that as hard as we can," Rileysaid. Being that this is the first game of the season, it's not hardto get the players focused. They are tired of practicing againsteach other. The defense is eager to hit someone full speed, and the offensewants to see what it can do against players who don't know theplays. "You can expect a whole lot of hard work, a whole lot of hustleand a whole lot of making plays," Pankey said. "We are going to dowhat we know how to, and we are going to do them as fast as we cando them. Everything else will shake down from there."
