NUGGETS
- The Beavers suited up in full uniform for Tuesday’s 16th practice of fall camp. Here’s everything you need to know from the picture-perfect day in Corvallis.
- Quarterback Tristan Gebbia got some throws in during early drills but didn’t participate in anything live during Tuesday’s session. The redshirt junior was still nursing the sore hamstring that ended his 2020 season and kept him out of Saturday’s scrimmage.
- Sam Noyer and Chance Nolan instead split most of the first-team reps during live drills, and we only saw Sam Vidlak during seven-on-seven.
- Nolan had the few if any, good throws during live drills, most notably a high-pressure 40-yard fourth-down throw to Anthony Gould who made a sprawling, diving catch down the far sideline in tight coverage. He added another long completion in the next series to the near sideline for Tre’Shaun Harrison, who made an over-the-shoulder catch.
- Nolan strived the most during 11-11 from the one-yard line. He had four chances and scored four touchdowns (Baylor and Fenwick with a TD each, and two TD throws from Nolan)
- Noyer looked a touch off on Tuesday, fittingly ending his day on a throwaway with pressure in his face, and subsequently slamming his helmet down once he got back to the sideline. There were a few short completions during the 11-on-11 drills, but that’s about it. There was some miscommunication, some pressure in his face, and just some poor throws. He did make some pretty throws during red zone and short-yardage drills, including a dart to the back of the end zone rolling to his right to Makiya Tongue.
- Noyer also got extremely unlucky during short-yardage drills at midfield. He had the whole defense fooled on a play-action drop and lofted a perfect go-route ball to Silas Bolden, but the ball dropped right between his hands. It would’ve been a surefire touchdown.
- Jack Colletto got plenty of work as a wildcat QB during short-yardage drills, consistently getting the two-to-three yards needed to convert those situations. Freshman RB Logan Horton also found the endzone on a swing pass into the flat from Nolan to convert from the one-yard-line.
- The defense played extremely well during 11-on-11, pushing consistent pressure on the two quarterbacks and forcing several incomplete passes. Outside of those two long throws from Nolan, it was a lot of short passes, screens, and tackles at or behind the line of scrimmage. I counted a sack from redshirt freshman Ryan Franke and two more from the whistle.
- Rejzohn Wright didn’t get many targets, but he made the most of it when the quarterbacks threw his way. He had a PBU early on in the live drills, then nearly another on the next snap while still forcing an incompletion.
- Everett Hayes got two attempts during live drills. He knocked through a 40-yarder and missed a 58-yarder to the left after being iced with a timeout (he knocked the 58-yarder through right after the whistle sounded for the timeout).
