“Prop culture” takes over college football landscape

In week three of the college football season, the Oregon State Beavers faced the Nevada Wolf Pack. With just a smidge under six minutes left in the game, Oregon State linebacker John McCartan intercepted a pass from Wolf Pack quarterback Ty Gangi. What followed would make the rounds over social media and national sports coverage for the following few days.

When McCartan returned to the sideline, Oregon State debuted the Turnover Chainsaw. Marching up and down the sideline, McCartan paraded around revving the motor and hyping up the Oregon State faithful. It was a spectacle — an incoherent spectacle.
