On Saturday in Fort Collins, Colorado State defensive coordinator Tyson Summers disappeared from the sidelines during a 56-26 loss to Oregon State, marking his removal from the team. Head coach Jim Mora fired Summers after relieving him of play-calling duties early in the first quarter when Oregon State took an initial 14-0 lead. This decision came amidst a challenging defensive season for Colorado State, which allowed over 38 points per game through five games and had conceded more than 59 points in their previous loss to UTSA. Summers' dismissal is part of Mora's efforts to improve the struggling defense since taking over as head coach this year.
