The Oregon football team held its second major scrimmage of this year’s preseason camp Saturday, working out inside Autzen Stadium in the afternoon.

Following the scrimmage, head coach Dan Lanning met with local media. Video of that interview is embedded below.

A week after the defense won the day in the first preseason scrimmage, the UO offense evened things out Saturday, Lanning said. The Ducks will now have a day off Sunday before resuming preseason camp Monday, when practices move to the morning.

Some highlights from coach Lanning …

On his initial impressions prior to reviewing film of the scrimmage: “Good work today, probably the exact opposite of the last scrimmage. Offense had a really positive day, ran the ball well. Started off this scrimmage with a 13-play drive, and we were able to cap that off with a score. So, really positive day by them. We protected the ball — we didn’t throw any interceptions today, which is a big positive. On the other end, defense made him go the long, hard way. They didn’t create a ton of explosive plays, but they were able to move the ball with some success. Overall, really good back and forth and good scrimmage.”

On the mentality of the team in the scrimmages so far: “I thought we had good energy throughout the day, really, back and forth for both sides. But yeah, it’s important, right? It’s our closest thing to a game-like type atmosphere for us as we go into the season.”

On what he wants to see as camp passes the midway point: “I told the guys today, don’t worry about Montana State yet. I’ll tell you when it’s time to worry about Montana State, when it’s time to worry about game one. We’ve still got a lot to fix for us. You know, we’ve got to go evaluate what just happened in this scrimmage. And then from that, decide where we need to improve and adjust as needed. But the intensity in my mind should be the same.”

BOZEMAN, Mont. (August 16, 2025) – As the temperature ticked upward in Montana State football’s only full scrimmage of the fall, so too did the Bobcats offensive performance.
 
After back-to-back three-and-outs and then two other stops to open the 100-plus play session, quarterback Justin Lamson marched the Bobcats 75 yards in 10 plays for a touchdown. Jared White plowed in from two yards out. That began a stretch of four drives out of the next six with the offense scoring points.
 
“The defense probably got off to a better start than the offense,” MSU head coach Brent Vigen said, “and then the offense probably caught up a little bit. I think the mark of a good team is you have that back and forth.”
 
On a day “about the individual units, (and) about a lot of individuals,” as Vigen said, many Bobcats turned in brilliant performances. Lamson completed 16 of his 18 pas attempts for 145 yards and two touchdowns. The Cats finished 37-50 passing with four touchdowns and one interception.
 
Cale Breslin led the Bobcat ground game, carrying 11 times for 40 yards. He scored one touchdown. The Bobcats gained 143 yards on the ground on 48 carries.
 
Vigen said that Saturday’s proceedings provide a crucial component of firming up the status of the program’s younger players in preparation for the August 30 opener at Oregon. “It will be a good thing to see on the film, quite a few of those guys, what they did and how they operated in a game like scenario. I think (this scrimmage is) very critical.”
 
Safety Taki Uluilakepa led the defense with seven tackles, while linebacker Xavier Ahrens logged two sacks. Cornerback Takhari Carr had the day’s only takeaway, an interception, and broke up a pass.
 
The Cats finished the day without missing a place kick. Junior Myles Sansted, the only returning kicker, made field goals from 39 and 23 yards, while freshman Michael Rubich nailed a 43-yarder. Vigen was pleased with his first extended look at MSU kicking game.
 
“I thought it was pretty consistent,” he said. “I think that’s the way (freshman long snapper) Brody Johnson’s been all camp. It was good to see Colby (Frokjer) have to punt in those situations. I thought he did a good job punting the football today and then kicking off. And we made all our kicks from a field goal/PAT perspective. We didn’t do a lot in the return side of things, but as far as those new specialists and then throwing Myles in there, it was a good day.”
 
One of the components difficult to examine in practice is the team’s operational aspect, but Vigen said that was largely positive. “We had to use one time out on offense, but we didn’t have any procedural penalties. And that’s what you want to see. I think our communication as far as coaches, two players with the new (in-helmet) technology, I think we’ll continue to work at that and evaluate that, but by and large I felt like that was pretty solid today.”
 
Saturday’s scrimmage marked the end of preseason camp, with the team now practicing exclusively in Bobcat Stadium. Classes begin Wednesday, and the team begins to transition into game prep mode for the opener at Oregon on August 30.

Timothée Chalamet returns to the big screen with Marty Supreme post Oscars snub; everything to know

The trailer for Marty Supreme puts Timothée Chalamet front and center as Marty Mauser, a ping pong phenom chasing fame in 1950s New York; watch

After his 2024 Oscar snub for A Complete Unknown, where Timothée Chalamet earned his second Best Actor nomination for his turn as Bob Dylan (the first was in 2018 for Luca Guadagnino’s Call Me by Your Name) — the actor is finally back on screen, and fans couldn’t be happier.

A24 has just dropped the first trailer for Marty Supreme, Josh Safdie’s 1950s-set sports dramedy that sees Chalamet swap guitar strings for ping pong paddles. The film follows Marty Mauser, a gifted but underestimated table tennis player determined to earn the respect he deserves. But this isn’t just a sports flick — it’s packed with scandal, glamour, and chaos, as Marty embarks on an affair with a silver screen siren (played by Gwyneth Paltrow) while navigating the cutthroat world of competitive ping pong.

The all-star cast is as unexpected as the plot: Fran Drescher as Marty’s mother, rapper Tyler, the Creator, magician Penn Jillette, Odessa A’zion, Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary, and filmmaker Abel Ferrara all make appearances. Safdie, known for the anxiety-inducing brilliance of Uncut Gems, hasn’t directed a solo feature in over a decade — so expectations are high. Chalamet even trained extensively to get his paddle skills on point. Cinematographer Darius Khondji revealed earlier this year that the actor “wanted to be like a real [professional] ping pong player when he started shooting.”

And the internet? They’ve already declared this a win.

“Shout out to Timmy for finding the only sport where could conceivably play a pro athlete,” joked one YouTube user. “Yeah at this point i’m more than comfortable and confident in saying that timothée chalamet is the most exciting actor working today,” declared another. “This looks good, but I had to go back during the casting to notice Tyler The Creator is part of the cast,” wrote one surprised fan. “I didn’t think a ping pong movie could look this intense but here we are,” said another. “Was wondering if we’d ever get a Timothee chalamèt movie this year,” added one. And perhaps the most poetic of all: “This trailer just served me life lessons via ping pong.”

If the trailer is anything to go by, Marty Supreme is shaping up to be the kind of unexpected, slightly chaotic, and completely charming ride that only Timothée Chalamet — and a paddle — could deliver.
