Colorado State appears to part ways with defensive coordinator Tyson Summers during 56-26 loss to Oregon State

During a lopsided fifty-six to twenty-six defeat against Oregon State, Colorado State made a mid-game switch by dismissing defensive coordinator Tyson Summers. Head coach Jim Mora Jr.

confirmed the dismissal to media members after the match, explaining that Summers was relieved of his play-calling duties during the opening half before departing the sideline entirely. Assistant Kenny McClendon stepped in to call defensive plays for the remainder of the contest and is slated to permanently take over the coordinator position.

The blowout defeat dropped the Rams to a two and three record while further exposing a unit that previously ranked one hundred twenty-ninth in scoring defense out of one hundred thirty-eight teams. Oregon State piled up seven hundred twenty-seven total yards on seventy-one plays, highlighted by quarterback Braden Atkinson throwing for four hundred thirteen yards and five touchdowns alongside two hundred ninety-one rushing yards from the team.

The game marked the first year of collaboration between Mora and Summers, with the latter having previously served under Jay Norvell during the prior season.
