SPORTS BRIEFING
FOOTBALL
Beavers’ RB coach to fill same role with Chicago Bears
— Oregon State running backs coach Michael Pitre is leav-
ing the school in order to coach running backs with the NFL’s
Chicago Bears, according to an ESPN report. Pitre has been
at Oregon State for the past three years. Earlier this offsea-
son, Pitre was given the title of recruiting coordinator. Pitre
is only the second assistant coach to leave Oregon State since
Jonathan Smith became coach in 2018. Secondary coach Greg
Burns left after one year for a coaching position at USC for the
2019 season (Burns is now at Arizona). Pitre figured to be at-
tractive after a three-year run coaching Jermar Jefferson, who
announced in December he was leaving school early for the
NFL draft. Pitre also coached two years with Artavis Pierce,
who just finished his rookie year with the Bears.
BASKETBALL
Ducks men close to full strength after 2nd pause due
to COVID-19 — Oregon will be close to full strength for its
second game in 26 days. The Ducks (9-3, 4-2 Pac-12) returned
to practice Tuesday following their second COVID-19 related
pause and will host Washington State Thursday night (8 p.m.,
FS1). Oregon coach Dana Altman said except for starting for-
ward Eric Williams Jr. (12.3 points, 6.3 rebounds), all players
who have seen action thus far are expected to be available and
point guard Will Richardson, who has missed the season fol-
lowing left thumb surgery, is drawing closer to returning.
UO women add game Saturday vs. UC Davis — De-
spite being on pause due to COVID-19 protocols that have
caused postponements for its last three games, including Fri-
day night, Oregon women’s basketball has added a noncon-
ference game for Saturday. The No. 12 Ducks (11-3, 9-3 Pac-
12) will host UC Davis at 6 p.m. Saturday at Matthew Knight
Arena, the school announced Wednesday. The game will be
live streamed via the athletic department’s website. Oregon’s
game against Arizona State (8-6, 4-6), originally scheduled for
8 p.m. Friday, was postponed on Tuesday due to COVID-19
protocols. A rescheduled date for the game with ASU has not
been determined.
BASEBALL
Beavers add games to schedule, up to 52 — The
Oregon State Beavers on Wednesday added eight games to
the 2021 baseball schedule, plugging in matchups against the
University of Portland, Gonzaga and UC Irvine to a slate that
now includes 52 games. The schedule remains a work in prog-
ress as a result of restrictions and safety guidelines surround-
ing the coronavirus pandemic, but Oregon State is expected
to play 56 games when it’s finalized. The Beavers, who began
practice last week with a deep roster and championship as-
pirations, will open the season Feb. 19 against Kansas State
in Surprise, Arizona, as part of the Sanderson Ford College
Baseball Classic.

The numbers drawn Wednesday night are:

The estimated jackpot is now $1.5 million.
While Moss and his Moun-
tain View teammates are ac-
customed to seeing defenses
focused on thwarting their
rushing attack, the 7-on-7
game has allowed them to
learn about defenses that focus
on stopping the pass.
“Learning the different de-
fenses as well as the concepts
you can run on offense is a
pretty big difference and it has
helped me a lot for regular
football,” Moss said.
Last week, Emery, a sopho-
more for the Lava Bears, was
in Texas playing in the Of-
fense-Defense All-American
Bowl — a week of practices
that drew players from across
the country and culminated
with a game played at AT&T
Stadium in Arlington, Texas,
home of the Dallas Cowboys.
“Tournaments just kept getting bigger and bigger. It has
been beneficial for me as a quarterback. My knowledge
of the game has grown, mechanics have improved, and
recruiting — being able to get some tape for coaches has
been beneficial as well.”
— Jakoby Moss, Mountain View quarterback
Players at the All-American
Bowl were nominated for the
event and then completed an
application process in order to
earn an invitation.
Players practiced and com-
peted in full pads, which high
school players from Oregon
have not been able do in over
a year.
“On the very first play,
I didn’t have my helmet
strapped up all the way so
on the tackle my helmet got
jammed up my nose, so that
kind of hurt,” Emery said.
“But it felt great being back
in pads. I was really, really ex-
cited and the hits weren’t that
bad.”
Playing on a team of fresh-
men and sophomores —
mostly from Colorado and
Missouri — Emery experi-
enced the challenges of devel-
oping a functioning offense in
just a couple of days.
Those challenges were ex-
acerbated when a tight end
had to move to center because
some linemen could not make
the trip due to COVID-19.
“In this game I was running
for my life,” Emery said. “I

“I’ve talked to Pete a bunch
about this throughout the
process. He has my back,
fully supportive with what
I want to do and what
direction we want to take this
thing together. So it will be a
situation where I feel like I’m
walking into a great scenario,
with a bunch of great coaches
that have such a solid
foundation.”
Waldron
Continued from A5
Waldron, who was an-
nounced as Seattle’s new offen-
sive coordinator last week, is
being given his first chance at
running an NFL offense after
spending time previously in
New England, Washington and
most recently as the pass game
coordinator with the Los An-
geles Rams.
But the philosophy Waldron
laid out in his first comments
since getting the job seemed to
mirror much of what Carroll
said he was seeking following
a season during which Seat-
tle set a franchise record for
points scored but sputtered of-
fensively over the second half
of the year. The Seahawks fired
Brian Schottenheimer after the
season due to “philosophical
differences” between himself
and Carroll.
Waldron wants balance. He
wants to protect the football.
He believes in teaching funda-
mentals.
And he doesn’t want the of-
fense to be labeled as conser-
vative.
“I think the great part about
Russell Wilson within this sys-
tem is he does have an ability
to do a lot of different things,”
Waldron said. “Just because
I’m saying that it’s a balanced
attack doesn’t mean that that’s a
conservative attack. I don’t ever
want to get that confused.”
In announcing Waldron’s
hiring, Carroll called him a
“must get.” He had been linked
with previous offensive coor-
only had time for really three
pocket passes because of how
fast people were getting to me.
By the time I would get the
ball there would be a dude in
my face. That was the big dif-
ference from 7-on-7. You have
four seconds when you snap it
in 7-on-7, where here I proba-
bly had less than a second.”
The fate of high school foot-
ball remains hanging in the
balance just four days before
the scheduled Monday start-
ing date.
The hope remains that ef-
forts through the never-end-
ing offseason culminate in a
return of tackle football.
“Right now there is all this
work that we have done but we
don’t know if it is going to pay
off with getting that season,”
Moss said. “Me and the guys,
we want our work to pay off.”
— Shane Waldron, Seahawks
offensive coordinator
Carolyn Kaster/AP file
Los Angeles Rams pass game coordinator Shane Waldron is seen be-
fore the 2019 NFC championship game against the New Orleans Saints
in New Orleans. Waldron has been hired as the Seattle Seahawks’ new
offensive coordinator.
dinator openings in the past,
but Seattle provided Waldron a
chance to stay in a division he
knows well and move closer to
home. He grew up in Portland,
Oregon.
Waldron said he had no re-
lationship with Carroll prior
to begin contacted for an in-
terview by the Seahawks. Wal-
dron also noted he had discus-
sions with Wilson during the
interview process and has had
subsequent talks with his quar-
terback since his hiring.
“The starting point for him
and I was just trying to build
that relationship. See how we
would interact together,” Wal-
dron said. “When you’re able
to sit there and have conversa-
tions that are natural and fluid,
and talk about everything and
not just football, I think that’s a
great foundation for where this
relationship can go.”
Along with Waldron’s hir-
ing came the addition of Andy
Dickerson as Seattle’s new run-
game coordinator. Dickerson
spent the past nine seasons
with the Rams and was a col-
lege teammate of Waldron’s at
Tufts University in the early
2000s.
It became a package deal
when Carroll asked Waldron
what would help him make the
transition to the Seahawks.
“My first thought was Andy,
and then it timed up with the
way everything worked out,”
Waldron said. “He’ll be able
to come on board as the run
game coordinator, and he’ll
be instrumental in helping
with the transition and really a
chance to blend with (offensive
line coach) Mike (Solari) and
get things all connected and
marry everything that we want
to do together philosophically.”
