Oregon State took to the field for its 12th day of fall camp Tuesday morning. With the temperature rising and game week looming, the intensity and chippiness spiked up as well. Here’s everything that happened from Prothro.
FIRST TEAM OFFENSE
RT: Taliese Fuaga
RG: Brandon Kipper
C: Jake Levengood
LG: Marco Brewer
LT: Joshua Gray
QB: Chance Nolan
RB: Deshaun Fenwick/Damien Martinez/Jam Griffin
TE: Luke Musgrave
WR: Tre’Shaun Harrison, Tyjon Lindsey, Jimmy Valsin III
FIRST TEAM DEFENSE
DL: Joe Golden
DL: Isaac Hodgins
DL: James Rawls
OLB: John McCartan
OLB: Cory Stover
ILB: Kyrei Fisher
ILB: Omar Speights
DB: Rejzohn Wright
DB: Alex Austin
DB: Kitan Oladapo
DB: Jaydon Grant
-A couple of injury updates to provide: OLB Ryan Franke is most likely out for the season, according to Jonathan Smith. Franke suffered a leg injury in the scrimmage on Saturday. Anthony Gould got banged up last week in practice, but Smith says he should be fine. Alton Julian is progressing along, per Smith.
-WR Jimmy Valsin III wins our offensive MVP of the day. Valsin III scored two of the three touchdowns for the Beaver offense, showing off some blistering speed on a 55-yard catch-and-run (about 40 of those yards were YAC) on a simple crosser for a touchdown toss from Ben Gulbranson. Vaslin III then ended practice ripping a touchdown away from a defensive back (didn’t catch who) on a fade route from the one-yard-line through PI/holding. He made another phenomenal play a few plays before, making a leaping catch over freshman corner Sam Mason for 26 yards.
-There are plenty of options for defensive MVP, but I’m going to give it to James Rawls. Rawls recorded a pair of sacks in a five-play sequence during two-minute drills.
-The defense dominated the first hour and a half of the two-hour practice. Corners were sticking with the receivers, there was REALLY good pressure on the quarterbacks, forcing errant pass after errant pass, and there wasn’t much of anything in the running game.
- Off of that….. Let’s go through some defensive MVP honorable mentions. Rejzohn Wright made a really good case, outrunning Tre’Shaun Harrison on a go route to pick off Chance Nolan. Wright nearly got another one in 7-on-7 when a miscommunication between Jesiah Irish and Nolan led the pass right into Wright’s hands on a comeback route that he dropped.
-Akili Arnold picked off Nolan a little bit later on in practice, where Chance just floated a ball in the middle (seemed like another mistimed play) and Arnold jumped right in front of it. It would’ve been a pick six in live action. Skyler Thomas broke up a pair of passes, including a near INT right after Arnold got his.
-Isaac Hodgins was rotating back in with the first team defense today. That was good to see.
-Andrew Chatfield got in on the action while the defense was dominating with a sack of his own. He was a big part of the good edge pressure in practice today.
-In the last quarter of practice, the offense finally seemed to break through. The unit got three live drives at the end of practice and scored touchdowns on two of them. The deep passing game finally broke through with a 35-yard touchdown pass from Nolan to Harrison with Thomas in coverage. Then, as noted above, Valsin III ended practice snagging a touchdown on a fade route.
-Despite the breakthrough at the end, I thought it was a pretty terrible day for all three quarterbacks. The timing was off, they were constantly under pressure, and the group was collectively 0/7 on deep passes before connecting with Tre’Shaun Harrison for the touchdown. Unlike yesterday, those deep incompletions were not very close.
-This seems like the day where both the offense and defense got some real edge to their game, with the defense dominating early in every phase, then the offense breaking through to get into the end zone twice. Is that the breakthrough the unit needed?
