San Diego State football defeats Fresno State 26-23 in a dramatic Pac-12 rivalry showdown! The Aztecs bounce back from an embarrassing loss to Oregon State, reclaim the Oil Can and keep their bowl eligibility hopes alive with a thrilling homecoming victory. After allowing 66 points against Oregon State, Sean Lewis and the San Diego State Aztecs faced serious questions about their defense, quarterback situation and direction of the program. But the Aztecs delivered when it mattered most. San Diego State held Fresno State to just 276 total yards and limited the Bulldogs to four third-down conversions on 13 attempts. Lucky Sutton powered the rushing attack with 110 yards on 18 carries, while Javion Kennard added 77 yards as the Aztecs finished with 204 rushing yards. Quarterback Jayden Denegal exited with an apparent lower-body injury, forcing Stone Saunders into action for his first appearance since returning from injury. Could Saunders become San Diego State's starting quarterback moving forward? We break down the quarterback controversy, the Aztecs' defensive turnaround and the dramatic finish that included a massive 60-yard game-winning field goal. Meanwhile, Fresno State suffered another frustrating rivalry defeat after previously falling to Boise State. Jayden Mandal finished with 141 passing yards, while the Bulldogs continued struggling to establish offensive consistency and defend opposing rushing attacks. A missed extra point also proved costly in a game that could have unfolded very differently. With Fresno State preparing for Oregon State following its bye week, Matt Entz faces significant questions about the Bulldogs' ability to compete with the Pac-12's top teams. Can San Diego State build on this victory and reach bowl eligibility? And is Fresno State heading in the wrong direction? #Pac12Football #SanDiegoState #FresnoState

Texas State football absolutely demolished Colorado State 66-27 in a stunning Pac-12 showdown, piling up 716 total yards and an incredible 503 rushing yards in one of the most dominant offensive performances of the season. The Bobcats scored 66 points through three quarters, delivered eight rushing touchdowns and completely overwhelmed a Colorado State defense that continues to struggle under Jim Mora. Brad Jackson led the charge with 213 passing yards, 181 rushing yards and four total touchdowns, while Torrance Burgess Jr. exploded for a career-high 224 rushing yards and four touchdowns. Jalen Jenkins added another 78 rushing yards and a touchdown as Texas State's offensive line dominated from start to finish. We break down how G.J. Kinne's offense responded after the disappointing loss to San Diego State and why the Bobcats could become a dangerous team in the Pac-12 race. At 3-3, Texas State suddenly has a realistic opportunity to reach bowl eligibility and potentially climb the conference standings. But what happened to Colorado State? The Rams have now lost four consecutive games, and their defense has surrendered 59, 56 and 66 points in its last three outings. Even after a defensive coordinator change, Colorado State couldn't slow down Texas State's rushing attack. We examine the defensive breakdowns, Que'Son Farrar's performance at quarterback and why getting Hauss Hejny healthy could be critical to Colorado State's chances of turning its season around. Plus, we look ahead to Washington State vs. Oregon State and Fresno State vs. San Diego State as another important Pac-12 weekend continues. For the second consecutive week, a Pac-12 team has scored 66 points against a conference opponent. Which defensive performance was worse: Colorado State against Texas State or San Diego State against Oregon State? #Pac12Football #TexasStateFootball #ColoradoStateFootball Photo Credit: Matt Bush-IMAGN

Washington State football is making a major quarterback change as Owen Eshelman takes over the starting job ahead of the Cougars' rivalry matchup against Oregon State. But can the redshirt freshman turn around one of the most disappointing offenses in college football? Kirby Moore has already made changes to Washington State's offensive play-calling responsibilities, and now he's turning to Eshelman after Caden Pinnock struggled through the first six games. Chad Kebba of UpWest Sports and the Palouse Playbook joins Locked On Pac-12 to discuss why this quarterback change could provide the spark Washington State desperately needs. We examine Eshelman's leadership, decision-making and potential to improve an offense that has struggled with consistency, third-down conversions and explosive plays. But the problems go beyond quarterback. Washington State is still searching for a reliable No. 1 receiver following Tony Freeman's injury, while Trey Lechner's return could provide a much-needed boost at tight end. Then we turn our attention to Saturday's matchup in Corvallis. Oregon State enters the game with momentum under first-year head coach JaMarcus Shephard, while Washington State hopes to turn its season around under Moore. Could former Oregon State head coach and current Washington State defensive coordinator Trent Bray provide a significant advantage against his former team? We also address the growing discussion surrounding Washington State general manager Brad Larrondo and whether criticism of the Cougars' roster construction and talent evaluation is justified. Finally, we discuss the future of Washington State football, why patience with Moore's rebuilding process matters and what Cougars fans should realistically expect moving forward. Can Owen Eshelman deliver a fresh start and help Washington State shock Oregon State? #WashingtonState #GoCougs #Pac12

Oregon State football is becoming one of the biggest stories in the Pac-12, and JaMarcus Shephard has the Beavers looking like a legitimate conference championship contender after their 66-14 demolition of San Diego State. But can Washington State and former Oregon State head coach Trent Bray find a way to slow down Braden Atkinson and Jesse LeGree? Ryan Harlan of Beaver Blitz joins Locked On Pac-12 to break down Oregon State's remarkable turnaround, the culture Shephard has established in Corvallis and Saturday's rivalry showdown against Washington State. The Beavers are 4-2 after winning just two games last season, and their explosive offense continues to improve. Jesse LeGree is generating national attention, Braden Atkinson is playing outstanding football, and Shephard refuses to let his team become complacent. Even after scoring 66 points against San Diego State, Shephard challenged his players to improve. We discuss why that mentality is transforming Oregon State and whether the Beavers deserve more attention in the AP Top 25. Meanwhile, Washington State is facing a very different situation. Kirby Moore has taken over offensive play-calling duties, and Owen Eshelman is preparing to replace Caden Pinnock at quarterback. Can the Cougars find an offensive spark in a hostile environment? We also examine Trent Bray's return to Corvallis, Washington State's defensive approach against LeGree, and whether Oregon State's offense has any weaknesses opponents can exploit. Plus, why have Shephard and Moore experienced such different starts to their first seasons despite the challenges both programs faced following Pac-12 realignment? Could Oregon State move to 5-2 and take another step toward a national ranking? Drop your score predictions and bold takes in the comments! #Pac12 #OregonState #WashingtonState

Fresno State football fell 38-31 to Boise State in the Battle for the Milk Can, but Matt Entz and the Bulldogs still have plenty to play for in the Pac-12 championship race. Did Fresno State prove it belongs among the conference's best teams despite the loss? We're joined by Al Scott of Fresno Sports Magazine to break down Fresno State's performance against Boise State, the biggest concerns moving forward and why the Bulldogs still have a realistic path to the Pac-12 Championship Game. Jayden Mandal delivered one of his more productive performances, throwing for over 200 yards and two touchdowns without committing a turnover. But Fresno State struggled to establish its rushing attack. With Rayshon Luke and Bryson Donelson dealing with injuries, the Bulldogs couldn't consistently run the football behind an offensive line that's also battling injuries. And the defensive struggles were just as concerning. Boise State rushed for 274 yards behind Dylan Riley and Sire Gaines, converting all four fourth-down attempts and controlling the second half. Fresno State had just three offensive possessions after halftime. We examine whether Matt Entz's defense has a growing problem stopping the run, why the Bulldogs struggled in the trenches and what needs to change before their next matchup. But the season is far from over. At 4-2, Fresno State still has opportunities against San Diego State, Oregon State, Utah State, Texas State and Colorado State. Could the Bulldogs finish with nine wins and earn another opportunity to face Boise State in the Pac-12 Championship? We discuss why the Oregon State matchup could determine Fresno State's championship hopes, whether the Bulldogs can get healthy during their upcoming bye week and why there's still reason for optimism in Fresno. Plus, we recognize Fresno State legend Logan Mankins joining the program's Ring of Honor. The Bulldogs lost the Milk Can, but their championship hopes are still alive. #FresnoState #Pac12Football #BoiseState Photo Credit: Mark J. Rebilas -IMAGN

Oregon State football just sent a massive warning to the entire Pac-12 Conference with a dominant 66-14 victory over San Diego State. JaMarcus Shephard's Beavers have won four straight games, and it's becoming impossible to ignore what's happening in Corvallis. Is Oregon State the best team in the Pac-12? Braden Atkinson delivered another outstanding performance, completing 29 of 38 passes for 409 yards and five touchdowns. But the biggest story continues to be true freshman wide receiver Jesse LeGree. LeGree finished with 10 receptions for 191 yards and three touchdowns, becoming the first Oregon State receiver to record six consecutive 100-yard games. And he's doing it at just 18 years old. Could Jesse LeGree become a legitimate Heisman Trophy contender? We break down Oregon State's explosive offense, its improving rushing attack and why the Beavers' defense might be the most underrated part of their four-game winning streak. With Oregon State sitting at 4-2 and its only losses coming against Houston and Texas Tech, there's suddenly a much bigger conversation developing. Could the Beavers finish 10-2, win the Pac-12 Championship and make a serious College Football Playoff argument? Meanwhile, San Diego State is heading in the opposite direction. Sean Lewis and the Aztecs were completely overwhelmed, managing just 56 rushing yards while Oregon State piled up 651 yards of total offense. Quarterback Jayden Denegal struggled again, completing just five of 19 passes for 78 yards. Is it time for San Diego State to make a quarterback change? And how much responsibility does Sean Lewis deserve for the Aztecs' disappointing season? We examine both programs, the growing gap between Oregon State and San Diego State, and what this result means for the Pac-12 championship race. Oregon State isn't just winning football games anymore. The Beavers are making a statement. #OregonState #Pac12Football #SanDiegoState
