COLLEGE FOOTBALL:
Oregon State is prepping for their home opener against 13th-ranked Texas Tech Saturday.
Offensive Coordinator Mitch Dahlen told the media this week he liked most of the play from quarterback Braden Atkinson but the offense has room to improve.
“I didn't have on my bingo card that he was gonna run the first one in. I didn't, but, but it was good that he did, and I mean he made some plays and I mean overall as an offense we, we did some good things in the past game, but the run game has to improve. Like we gotta be able to run the ball. Running the ball 25 times for 26 yards is not acceptable.”
The Beavers’ defense is also prepping for a well-balanced Red Raider offensive attack.
In Eugene,
Oregon Head coach Dan Lanning talked about the matchup against Oklahoma State.
“You know, for us, obviously, when you're playing a team like this, it's a little bit different. So, you know, Coach Moore said it's about, for them, it's about establishing the run.So again, there's going to be limited opportunities when it comes to rushing the passer because it's going to be sideline to sideline. They'll screen, screen, screen, right? Try to run the ball, trick play, trick play. And then on defense, what they do with the simulated pressures and, and changeups makes it really difficult, but I thought overall, we had a good practice and attacked some things well today.”
The 6th ranked Ducks are in Stillwater, Oklahoma Saturday for a 9 A.M. our time kick-off on KBND.
