Colorado State defensive coordinator Tyson Summers was fired during Saturday's 56-26 loss to Oregon State, coach Jim Mora announced after the game. ESPN reported the dismissal came following the defeat, while other outlets indicated Summers was replaced as the team's defensive playcaller during the first half of the game.
One account suggests Summers left the stadium during the contest, though the exact sequence and circumstances around his departure remain unclear from available reporting. The blowout loss served as a Pac-12 opener for both teams, with Braden Atkinson throwing five touchdown passes for Oregon State, including three to Jesse Legree.
