- Tyson Summers left the Colorado State sideline during the first half of a 56-26 loss to Oregon State and was dismissed from the program after the game, coach Jim Mora confirmed
- Jim Mora relieved Summers of playcalling duties during the first half due to defensive performance, though stated Summers chose to leave the field independently
- Colorado State has allowed 193 points over five games this season, including back-to-back high-scoring losses to UTSA and Oregon State, highlighting defensive struggles
- Tyson Summers had served as interim head coach for Colorado State last season and was retained by Mora upon his hiring from UConn to lead the Rams' turnaround
Why it matters: Colorado State’s defense has surrendered an average of 38.6 points per game, directly contributing to two blowout losses in three weeks. Removing the defensive coordinator mid-game and terminating him afterward signals urgent instability in Mora’s first season, raising pressure on the new coaching staff to stabilize performance quickly.
