NUGGETS From Oregon State's 11th Day Of Fall Camp

- I’m not sure if it was planned or not, but there seemed to be a little bit more emphasis on deep passing with the first team offense. In the first set of 11-on-11 (not the two-minute drill they opened practice with), Chance Nolan went deep twice in a row. His first throw was his best throw of camp, tossing the ball over 40 yards in the air into triple coverage and hitting Tre’Shaun Harrison right in his number 0. Harrison dropped the pass. Nolan found Tyjon Lindsey for his next deep throw around the same distance, but the pass was a little more underthrown and Lindsey couldn’t haul it in.

- Ron Hardge III continues to make a bid for more playing time, intercepting a pass during one-on-one in the red zone. It’s going to be Ryan Cooper Jr. and Hardge III fighting for snaps at that third corner spot, it seems. Speaking of corners, redshirt freshman Jack Kane made a great play today too, jumping over the back of Silas Bolden to break up a pass.

- The best run of the day goes to Kanoa Shannon, who bounced outside to his left for a run of 15 yards. The edge was blocked off perfectly by the second-team offensive line.
