ESPN's win predictor isn't a perfect tool by any means, but to my point about this not just being special teams: It gave OSU a 62.5% chance of winning at App State, 72.6% vs. Fresno State and 78.1% vs. Houston — all in final 2 minutes or OT.
All after surviving that day's special teams blunder(s).

Leave it to the great @tysonalger.bsky.social to dig up the dirt, or in this case sod, on Oregon's win in Happy Valley. Such clever reporting. 10/10.

It's always an honor to join forces with @sean2m.bsky.social and he once again delivered powerful visuals. His video from inside Snake River is incredible. As is this image of Brett on the breakaway:

Look who’s back in Corvallis, Beaver fans. Jack Colletto is at Reser for Oregon State’s game against Fresno State. Last time these teams played, the Jackhammer scored the game-winning touchdown as time expired.
