Oregon St. started 10 whites in 2007/2008, 13 in 2009, 10 in 2010, 8 in 2011, 5 in 2012, 8 in 2013 and 2014. I could not find a write up for 2015. In 2016 they are projected to start 6 whites.

On offense OL Will Hopkins and OL Blake Brandel appear on the two deep depth chart.
Not much in terms of depth as only one white - DE Sumner Houston appears on the 2 deep defensive depth chart. Lots of polys and blacks.

The only positive on this team is RB Ryan Nall who came out of nowhere last year. He is a big, fast strong power back and should be able to eclipse 1k yards if he stays healthy and the caste whore Andersen utilizes him properly. I have seen him listed as both an RB and TE/H-back.

Gary Andersen sucks. We'll see how good his affletic defense made up of blacks and polys holds up. I say they'll get thrashed . Cheering for Nall if he actually gets a chance to run the ball again.

Ryan Nall is off to a pretty good start! He's at 13 carries for 71 yards and 7 receptions for 79 yards with just a little bit of time left. Oregon State wasn't on my radar at all, but that's enough for me to tune in when I see them on tv.

Good article on Ryan Nall full of "mystery" as to why he was overlooked in the recruiting process and even more "mystery" because Riley and Andersen did not know what to do with him (to Andersen's credit he came around).

I've read multiple articles this last month where the writers notice white athletes being neglected in the recruiting process but not one has had the balls to point out the reverse discrimination they flat out face.

I agree. A white RB instantly makes a team very watchable to me, even if they don't have many white starters besides that player. I'd say a white RB (for me) is about as fun to watch as a lot of these half-white teams.

There QB was solid last night as well and as long as the passing game is decent it should create opportunities for Nall in the running game.

He survived two Caste-whore coaches, Riley and current head coach, Andersen. Riley, of course, trying to "bulk" him up to 245lbs to play "H-Back". Typical Riley. He did that to Nebraska RB, Graham Nabity, even though Nabity was the most productive RB during Spring and Fall practice in 2015. Riley moved him to FB, even though he's not the right size for that...will have to "bulk" up a lot as well. And Andersen, "didn't know what to do with him (Nall)" when he took over, even though he was highly productive as a running back. So, of course, he was going to make him a LB on defense. Surprised it wasn't a Fullback.

Andersen really has no other choice but to play the talented Nall, another year like last and he'll be looking for a HS job!
