Max Tuerk was not involved in Grimble's injury. Chad Wheeler cut Dylan Wynn and wound up chop blocking Grimble. I could see that one being accidental. On the very next drive, on a 3rd & 17 read option, Tuerk took his helmet and drove it into Noke Tago's planted right knee. It was the only time all game that that blocking scheme was used. It was wildly unnecessary and it appeared that the only intent was to injure Tago. Buck Allen ran for 12 yards on the play to set up a 36-yard field goal that USC missed. After Grimble and Tago went out, Oregon State could not stop USC. Up to that point (about six minutes left in the third), the Trojans had rushed for 21 yards. After Tago went out, USC rushed for 179 yards and two rushing touchdowns. The only time that the Beavers' defense held was when Obum Gwacham forced a fumble that Cody Kessler managed to fall on. I was not a fan of Tuerk, while he was alive. But I wish peace on Max and his family. None of them deserved anything close to what they are going through. Being real... he was coached to do that. Not sure if I really paint Tuerk as the bad guy. I agree with you that I blame the coaches more than Tuerk, but we each have free will.
