We weren't getting Cole ready to play last fall, so it wasn't like he got a bunch of reps. They pretty much had the same time (in the offense).

The best thing he did was he took care of the football. He moved the chains. He hit some passes under pressure, which we also needed to do to get them out of their blitz game. When we did that, they were kind of out of answers.

It's good for our down-the-line kids and our freshmen to get a chance to play, because as the fall wears on, they're not going to get much opportunity. Then we could get in a situation where at the end of the season, we might need them. The more live reps we can get them now, the better.

And he'll go play well, I hope.

This (Oregon program) is a little different beast than the Oregon and Oregon State teams of the early '90s.

It'll be interesting to see how that plays out. It's the No. 1 rush defense in the league, being our defense, against the No. 1 rush offense (Idaho State). It's the No. 2 rush defense, being their defense, against the No. 3 rush offense in the league. So something's got to give. It may be the team that throws the ball best wins the game.

The one time they did get down near our end zone, we just weren't going to let them in.

He was covered. It's double-edged - when you're playing yourself, you'd like to see the corner make the play and the receiver make the catch. Now you celebrate the receiver and then you get back to work with the corner.

If Cole ends up playing Saturday, we're fully confident in his ability to lead the offense. He doesn't get enough credit for being as good of a runner as he is. He also has a good understanding of our offense.
