- The vibe from today’s practice was perhaps the best that it’s been all of fall camp. Whether it was high fives, smiles, or a little friendly competition that brought out the best in everyone, today was a good day for the Oregon State football team.

- Senior defensive tackle Jordan Whittley returned to the field for the first time since clearing concussion protocol. The 6-foot-1, 324 pound lineman was with the second-team defense for most of the day and looked like he was showing no signs of rust.

- Arizona grad-transfer center Nathan Eldridge also returned to practice today, taking part in live work as the second-team offenses starting center. After being on the shelf for the last week or so, seeing Eldridge return to live work is a most-welcome sight. His status will be one to keep an eye on in the coming practices as having him healthy and up to speed is a top priority for line coach Jim Michalczik and Co.

- A scout from the Minnesota Vikings was in attendance today.

Here’s a look at the first-team offense from today:
