Marine Board Approves Boating Access Grants, Rules, Expands Free Paddling Days
The Oregon State Marine Board, meeting at Bandon, approved Cycle Three Boating Facility Grant requests for Fords Pond Community Park and TouVelle State Park, and approved rule updates for personal flotation devices and outfitter guide reciprocity with Idaho. Additionally, the Board approved 2027 Waterway Access Permit exemption days for paddlers beyond the ODFW Free Fishing Days. Cycle Three Grant Consideration: City of Sutherlin, Fords Pond Community Park: The City obtained all required permits and is ready to initiate the first phase for boating access development by purchasing two boarding docks and an accessible non-motorized launch dock. The Board approved $125,000 in Boating Facility Grant funding combined with $10,000 applicant match for a total project cost of $135,000. Oregon Parks and Recreation, TouVelle State Park: The Board approved funding for a hydraulic study to identify if there is a more stable location for a boat ramp on the Rogue River. The hydraulic survey, analysis, and modeling have been needed for several years. This will inform future decisions for State Parks and the Marine Board. The Board approved $49,997 in Boating Facility Grant funding to match $17,000.00 applicant match for a total project cost of $66,997.00. Other Board Decisions: Personal Flotation Devices Rulemaking: The Board approved updating rule language for personal flotation devices to align with the federal U.S. Coast Guard’s newer label ratings for performance and activity. This rule does not change existing carriage or wear requirements for recreational boaters. Snake River Reciprocity for Outfitter and Guides Rulemaking: The Board approved a new rule applying to Idaho outfitters and guides who pick up clients in Oregon and operate on the Snake River boundary waters. Idaho Outfitters and Guides must meet Oregon's business licensing, permitting, and registration requirements. This rule also clarifies what currently exists in statute. This rule goes into effect on November 2, 2026. Free Paddling Days: The Board also approved seven additional days when Waterway Access Permits are not required. The Free Paddling Days were selected based on more ideal weather and water conditions, congestion and capacity at boating access sites, and activities that align well with paddling. The following dates will be added for 2027 in addition to ODFW Free Fishing Days: New Year's Day 2027; April 22 (Earth Day); May 24 (“Wear Your Life Jacket at Work” Day and kicks off National Safe Boating Week); June 5-6 (Free Day-Use Parking at State Parks and ODFW Free Fishing Days); September 12 (National Grandparents Day) and October 2 (Wild and Scenic Rivers Act Day). Staff will report back to the Board at its October 2027 meeting with recommendations for Free Paddling Days in 2028.

Rogue Basin, South Coast winter steelhead anglers: validation and harvest tags on sale beginning Nov. 1
ODFW release - CENTRAL POINT, Ore. – Anglers who plan to fish for winter steelhead in the Rogue Basin or on the South Coast can begin purchasing the Rogue-South Coast Steelhead validation and wild steelhead harvest tags Nov. 1. The validation is required for all winter steelhead anglers fishing in these areas from Dec. 1 to April 30, 2027. A separate wild winter steelhead harvest tag is required to keep wild winter steelhead. To purchase these products, change the purchase year to 2027 when entering the product catalogue in ODFW’s Electronic Licensing System. To continue using the validation and harvest card after Jan. 1, 2027, remember to buy a 2027 Angling License, Combination License, or Sports Pac. Those purchasing daily or multi-day licenses must have a valid ODFW ID number which is required to purchase a validation – do not use “guest checkout.” Pre-paid daily licenses do not qualify to buy a validation. Visit the Rogue-South Coast Steelhead Validation webpage for more details including how to report any wild winter steelhead harvested and answers to frequently asked questions. Anglers should note that wild harvest regulations vary, and some locations don’t open to wild winter steelhead until after Dec. 1. Check the regulations before you go or contact the ODFW Gold Beach office (541-247-7605) or Central Point office (541-826-8774). The validation and harvest tag (if keeping a wild winter steelhead) requirements began in January 2023. They were developed by ODFW and public stakeholder teams during the 2021 Rogue-South Coast Multi-Species Conservation and Management Plan (RSP) process. Validation and harvest tag sales help fund winter steelhead monitoring in the Rogue Basin and South Coast. Wild fish monitoring summaries and annual reports are posted on the RSP website.

No. 12 Saints turn back Raiders with dominant 2nd half
SOU release - HELENA, Mont. – Southern Oregon blanked Carroll (Mont.) for the first 29 minutes but watched the No. 12-ranked Saints put up six unanswered scores the rest of the way and lost 38-7 on Saturday night at Nelson Stadium. The Saints kept pace with College of Idaho as co-leaders of the Frontier Conference West Division, moving to 7-1 overall and 4-0 in the circuit ahead of the teams' matchup next week. They did it behind quarterback Kaden Huot, who threw five touchdown passes against the Raiders (3-6, 2-3) for the second year in a row and totaled 221 yards on 14-of-21 accuracy. SOU, whose McCade Long got his first start at quarterback, went in front with an 11-play, 93-yard drive that Fresh Ison finished with a one-yard touchdown dive in the first quarter. The Saints didn't get on the board until 37 seconds remained in the second, when Huot found Ty Wilkinson for a 13-yard TD that tied the game at the break. After coming up empty on their first first five drives, they found the end zone on five of their next starting with that one. Carroll posted a 395-242 advantage in total yardage, came up with three takeaways and got to Long for nine sacks. Henry Goss registered three of those. Long, a junior from Granite Bay, Calif., who has served as backup each of the last three seasons, completed 11-of-20 attempts for 130 yards. Dawson Douglas caught five for 50 yards and Coen Coloma added 57 on the ground. Defensive backs Isaiah Griffin and Antonio Vasquez Williams both notched 10 tackles for the Raiders. Stephen Del Giudice III had a sack and Bryson Kievit and Jude Mendoza shared one. The Raiders have a bye next week and finish their season at home on Nov. 14 against College of Idaho.

Second-Half Surge Fuels Oregon’s Win Over No. 20 Northwestern
UO release - Oregon went on the attack offensively and tightened things up defensively to come from behind and win Saturday. By: Rob Moseley, EUGENE, Ore. — At halftime Saturday, Oregon trailed on the scoreboard and its top two running backs were receiving medical attention. A roller coaster of a season could have been heading toward another stomach-turning drop. But on a spooky Halloween afternoon at Autzen Stadium, the Ducks showed no fear. And now a season of dramatic twists has another one to add to the ledger. An aggressive offense and a disciplined defense fueled a second-half comeback Saturday as the Oregon football team knocked off No. 20 Northwestern, 34-26, before a sell-out crowd of 55,673. Former UO coach Chip Kelly's Northwestern offense gave the Ducks fits in the first half, but new UO offensive coordinator Jay Johnson pushed all the right buttons in the second half while Oregon's defense clamped down to complete the come-from-behind win. "We're down by two scores a lot of that game; there's a lot of people that fold up in that moment," UO head coach Dan Lanning said. "There was zero quit from our guys." The Ducks (5-3, 3-2 Big Ten) trailed by two touchdowns late in the first half, at which point their last touchdown had been on the opening drive of the game a week earlier at Illinois. But they ended that cold stretch by scoring just before halftime Saturday, the first of three scoring passes on the day for Dylan Raiola — the Ducks' third different starting quarterback in the team's last three wins this season. The biggest turning point, though, was Oregon's lone rushing touchdown of the day, on fourth down from the 2-yard line early in the fourth quarter. Injuries forced the Ducks to turn to their fourth-string running back, freshman Brandon Smith, who powered it in behind a resurgent offensive line for a 27-23 lead that Oregon never surrendered. "You could see the way we were playing, the way we were calling the game and just how we were attacking, we weren't going to go down without swinging," said Raiola, who was 22-of-31 passing for 336 yards and three scores, the last a 75-yard exclamation point to Dakorien Moore after the Wildcats had closed within 27-26 in the fourth. "I think that kind of got lost a little bit (in recent weeks). I don't think we completely lost it, but we got back to our DNA, and I'm proud — I'm proud of our guys." Most of the first half Saturday was defined by one stat: third-down conversions by Northwestern. The Wildcats were 6-of-8 to open the game on third down, the last of those coming on their touchdown to take a 20-6 lead late in the first half. The mobility of quarterback Aiden Chiles and the creativity of the playcalling by Kelly were conspiring to put Oregon on its heels. But the two stops the Ducks did get on third down during that stretch were key — both forced Northwestern to settle for field goals in the red area, which proved critical in what ended up being a one-score game. And the Wildcats would convert just one third down after halftime, as the UO defense tightened up its discipline and did a better job containing Chiles. "This whole week was about execution — being in the right play, doing your job," said UO safety Koi Perich, who had seven tackles to lead the Ducks along with Brandon Finney Jr. and Jerry Mixon. "Obviously, we weren't doing that in the first half, and they were converting. Whether it was the DBs getting out of position, the QB scrambling, or them just making a play. Ultimately, it's just us doing our job, and we did that a little better in the second half." Oregon's offense, meanwhile, found its rhythm when it had to play with tempo late in the first half. To that point the Ducks' only points were on two field goals by Gage Hurych, in a nice bounceback effort from three misses at Illinois. But after Northwestern went up 20-6 with 1:53 left in the first half, the Ducks had to play fast. They had to go on the attack. And they landed their first big punch. It came on a beautiful fade route from Raiola to Moore, whose catch in the back corner of the end zone held up under the scrutiny of a replay review, on a day he caught seven balls for 128 yards and two scores. The Wildcats still had 49 seconds to work with, but the UO defense got a stop on third down to keep the score 20-13 heading into halftime. "I kept telling our players, it's really going to be about who can play harder for longer," Lanning said. "And I felt like that really showed up today." The only turnover of the game, a fumble by the Ducks on the opening drive of the second half, gave Northwestern good field position. But again the UO defense got a stop on third down to force a field goal, and the Ducks quickly drove to another touchdown on another fade route, this one to tight end Jamari Johnson to get Oregon within 23-20. At that point the UO running back was Smith, in for injured starters Jordon Davison and Dierre Hill Jr. His shifty change-of-pace ability fueled an eight-carry, 82-yard performance off the bench. "We see it every day in practice," UO left tackle Fox Crader said. "He's a young guy that, every chance he gets, he's executed. He makes a lot of stuff happen in practice that we're like, this kid's special. So we're not surprised at all. " It was Smith who gave the Ducks the lead, finally. All week long, Lanning had talked about the Ducks' desire to get back to a more aggressive mentality; not every fourth-down call of his tenure has been successful, but it's been part of Oregon's identity. And it showed up in that moment, with Smith scoring on a 2-yard run three plays into the fourth quarter for a 27-23 lead. "Our mindset was, hey, we're either going to punch this in, or they're going to have to drive (98) yards bringing it back," Lanning said. "Obviously we were able to punch it in, and that was a big, big, big play in that game." The run came behind an Oregon offensive line that, for the first time all season, started the same five guys and leaned on them throughout the game. "A big part of O-line play is just having chemistry with the guys you're out there on the field with — knowing each other's weaknesses, each other's strengths," Crader said. "So you know, we were able to go out there and execute. Obviously we've got to watch the film, got a lot to clean up. But it felt good out there. Feels good with this group for sure." That sentiment was a theme for the Ducks postgame. No doubt, film analysis will show lots that could be cleaned up. But after getting back to their roots in the second half, they were feeling good. And now November looms with much still in front of the Oregon football team.

The Men of Oregon and the Women of Oregon swept the Big 10 Conference Cross-Country Championships at Madison, WI, Friday. Diana Cherotich and Simeon Birnbaum added individual titles Friday in Wisconsin.  UO release - MADISON, Wis. – For a second-consecutive season, the Oregon cross country teams swept the Big Ten team and individual titles with a dominant showing Friday morning at the 2026 Big Ten Championships in Madison, Wis. Individually, Diana Cherotich successfully defended her conference title while Simeon Birnbaum made it consecutive Big Ten champions for the UO men. With Friday's results, Oregon has won 12 of the 14 Big Ten team titles across cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field since joining the conference. Five of those wins have come in cross country with three in a row for the Women of Oregon. The Ducks occupied three of the top-four spots led by a course- and meet-record time of 18:56.1 from Cherotich. She was followed by teammates Juliet Cherubet and Dalia Frias in second and fourth place, respectively. Cherotich and Cherubet—19:10.0 in Friday's 6K—also finished 1-2 at last season's Big Ten meet. Frias was up a spot from last year's fifth-place outing. Oregon's top-five scoring lineup also featured freshman Sofia Thogersen in 11th place overall and senior Ella Thorsett in 17th, both of which earned spots on the All-Big Ten Second Team. Cherotich becomes the fourth woman to win back-to-back Big Ten individual titles since the conference starting running a 6K in 2003. With her performance, Cherotich also took three seconds off the previous Zimmer Championship Course record of 18:59.1 set by Pamela Kosgei (New Mexico) at the 2024 Pre-Nat meet. The UO women have now won three-consecutive individual titles in addition to their team efforts. The last time one school won three in a row was 1999-2001 (Wisconsin). Silan Ayyildiz won the Ducks' first Big Ten individual title in 2024 with the then-meet record of 19:13.6 in Champaign, Ill. On the men's side, the Ducks put their top-six runners inside the top nine with Birnbaum pulling away down the final stretch of the Zimmer Course for a final time of 23:04.2. Evan Jenkins (23:07.0), in his Oregon debut, was third overall with Aiden Smith (23:11.9) in fourth. The rest of Oregon's first-team nods went to Connor Burns, Benjamin Balazs and Tayson Echohawk in places seven through nine. The Men of Oregon had two more finish in the top 20 with freshmen Juan Gonzalez and Xavier Perras-Phaneuf in 13th and 20th place, respectively. In addition to all-freshmen selections, the two also added their names to the All-Big Ten Second Team. Oregon now has 31 conference team titles—18 men, 13 women—in cross country, and 29 individual titles—18 men, 11 women—spread among 20 runners. Up Next: The postseason continues in two weeks with the NCAA West Region Championships (Nov. 13) in Sacramento, Calif. The top-two teams in each race earn automatic bids to the NCAA Championships.
