Oregon football is officially back, and with the Ducks preparing for their season opener against Boise State, Matt Prehm and Erik Skopil are back with another edition of the Autzen Audibles Mailbag Podcast.This week's mailbag focuses heavily on what Oregon fans should be watching for in Week 1 and what the opener could reveal about the Ducks heading into the 2026 season.Prehm and Skopil discuss what they hope the biggest storyline will be coming out of Oregon's first game, along with which lingering questions surrounding the roster could begin to get answered against Boise State. That conversation includes Oregon's offensive line, special teams and a talented defensive front that will have an opportunity to establish itself early in the year.The mailbag also dives into Oregon's offensive depth chart, including the battle to establish a third running back behind Jordon Davison and Dierre Hill Jr., and whether quarterback Akili Smith Jr. could find a role during his freshman season.Finally, the guys break down the offensive line competition, including how injuries and strong fall camps have impacted Oregon's search for its fifth starter and whether the Ducks have enough trusted depth up front as the season begins.(2:39) - What will be the storyline after week one against Boise State?(11:46) - What's the biggest question that will be answered after week 1?(21:02) - Who plays at RB after Jordon Davison and Dierre Hill?(25:04) - Does Akili Smith Jr get any playing time this season at QB?(32:26) - How up in the air are the last two offensive line starting roles?
College Football is back and welcome to Y-Option's week 1 show! I was in the booth for USC's opener against San Jose State. Yes, it was hot. So was Jayden Maiava as he played with elite command. The highly touted freshmen for the Trojans also met the moment. And one small detail stood out to me, worth flagging if you're a special teams fan early in today's show.I also dove into Oregon's game vs Boise State. I'm doubling down: the Ducks are one of the top two teams in the country as we approach week 1.Speaking of top two, Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele and Nico Iamaleava are two of the best quarterbacks in the nation, and both play on the West Coast this Saturday night. That's what makes Cal vs. UCLA a must-watch: two elite QBs and the debut for two new head coaches.After calling Eastern Illinois at Minnesota Thursday night, I'm flying to Seattle to meet Paul Burmeister. We also bring you a preview of the Apple Cup live from the UW team room.As always, each episode is fueled by our founding sponsor 76, keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat.

Oregon's fall camp is essentially complete, and the Ducks are preparing to shift their attention toward game-week preparation for their 2026 season opener against Boise State.On the latest episode of the Autzen Audibles Podcast, Matt Prehm and Erik Skopil go position-by-position through Oregon's defense to discuss the latest buzz, storylines and information coming out of fall camp.Like our offensive breakdown, this isn't a projected depth chart or an attempt to predict exactly who will take the field for Oregon's first defensive snap of the season. Instead, Prehm and Skopil focus on what they've heard throughout August, what has stood out during conversations with Oregon's coaches and players, and where each position appears to stand as the Ducks leave camp.The discussion begins along Oregon's defensive front, where the Ducks have spent the offseason developing a deep and versatile collection of defensive linemen and edge defenders. From there, the podcast examines a linebacker room featuring a mix of experience and emerging options before turning to a secondary with competition and versatility throughout the cornerback, safety and Star positions.Which defensive players generated the most buzz during fall camp? Which position groups appear to have taken significant steps forward? Where could Oregon have difficult decisions to make because of its depth? And what questions still need to be answered once the Ducks begin playing games?Prehm and Skopil break down everything they know and have heard about Oregon's defense as fall camp comes to an end and the Ducks prepare to turn their full attention toward Boise State and the start of the 2026 season.(2:00) - Why this defense has the hype it is getting(4:25) - Oregon's Defensive Line Room(19:13) - Oregon's Linebacker Room(32:36) - Oregon's Secondary Room

From there, the podcast examines a running back room with plenty of competition, a receiver group featuring proven talent and emerging options, and a tight end position that has continued to develop throughout camp.The offensive line also gets a full evaluation as Oregon works to identify its best combination before the opener.Which position groups generated the most positive buzz?

Fabian Alefeld interviews Brandon Brodie, co-founder and CEO of Annihilator Broadheads, about how an Idaho elk hunt and a lost bull sparked a new broadhead concept sketched by Brandon's future partner Micah. They describe turning the 2D sketch into plastic CAD prototypes via Boise State, a makeshift “wind tunnel” test using Instant Pot steam, and early performance goals of flight, penetration, durability, and lethality. Field and improvised tests (steel drum, long-range accuracy, animal kills) plus third-party fluid dynamics modeling suggested Annihilator's design created unusually large high-pressure and low-tension effects. After major supply failures with investment casting and metal injection molding - causing shortages, high scrap rates, and lost dealers - Brodie brought manufacturing in-house, adopting metal laser powder bed fusion, improving repeatability and enabling new geometries like the Katana. He outlines ongoing innovation, potential adjacent products, and plans to leverage Annihilator's additive capabilities for partnerships and contract manufacturing. 02:26 Elk Camp Origin 06:43 Sketch to Prototype 11:36 Instant Pot Wind Test 14:44 Performance Pillars 18:41 Steel Drum Proof 22:45 Real Hunt Validation 26:45 Fluid Dynamics Breakthrough 30:41 Engineering Led Marketing 33:32 Manufacturing Growing Pains 34:27 Industry Award Surprise 35:53 COVID Demand Crunch 36:54 Casting Supplier Failures 39:40 MIM Tooling Disaster 42:30 Additive Breakthrough 46:35 Learning Metal Printing 49:55 Repeatability and Materials 52:56 Katana Broadhead Innovation 57:49 Scaling R&D Team

Big news in the BYU Athletics front office. KSL Sports BYU Insider Mitch Harper breaks down the hiring of Marc Hill as BYU's new deputy athletic director. Hill arrives in Provo after spending 27 years at the University of Kentucky, where he served as deputy director of athletics since 2019 and was the football sport administrator since 2012. Hill was widely considered the frontrunner to succeed longtime Kentucky AD Mitch Barnhart before the school went with an external hire in J Batt. At Kentucky, Hill helped spearhead major facility projects, including a $130 million football stadium renovation, a $49 million baseball stadium, and a $19 million soccer/softball complex. BYU AD Brian Santiago called Hill "a great fit" who brings "a wealth of experience from the highest level of collegiate athletics." BYU advancement VP Keith Vorkink added that Hill's "experience, leadership and alignment with BYU's values" make him an excellent addition. This hire comes just days after the athletic department had to publicly shut down false rumors about Santiago's job status. Mitch discusses what Hill's arrival means for BYU's administrative infrastructure, Kalani Sitake's desire for additional support at the top, and how this fits into the bigger picture of the program's growth in the Big 12. Also on today's episode, Mitch sits down with BYU football outside linebackers coach Chad Kauha'aha'a. The veteran defensive coach, a former Utah defensive lineman, was promoted from senior analyst to outside linebackers coach in February after spending two seasons behind the scenes on Kalani Sitake's staff. Kauha'aha'a brings over two decades of coaching experience at programs including USC, UCLA, Wisconsin, Utah, Oregon State, Boise State, UNLV, Utah State, and Weber State. He and Sitake have a long coaching history together, dating back to their time on the same staff at Oregon State and at Utah. In the interview, Coach Kauha'aha'a discusses developing BYU's edge rushers heading into 2026, what he's seen from his outside linebackers group through fall camp, and what it means to be coaching on the field after two years as an analyst.

Send us Fan MailSome of the cheapest, easiest promotions to run are the ones fans are already doing on their own. In Episode 178, Jeremy Neisser breaks down two low-maintenance promotional nights built entirely on existing demand: hosting fantasy football drafts in your suites and running a fidget trading meetup for families. Both come with real pricing examples, a small tweak that turns a one-night rental into future attendance, and the marketing rule that decides whether they sell. If you've got a soft date and no budget to fix it, this is the episode to act on.KEY TOPICS COVERED- Why the cheapest promotions to run are ones fans already do without you — and how to spot them- How to package your suites or private spaces as fantasy football draft nights while draft season is still live- Real pricing benchmarks teams are using ($400 for 20 people per suite; $900 per suite with extras)- The one tweak stolen from Boise State — bundling a specific game ticket — that turns a room rental into a date on your calendar- What Boise State, the Baltimore Ravens, and a baseball team actually included in their draft packages- How to read Google Trends to catch a promotion while demand is climbing, using fidget trading as the example- Everything a fidget trading meetup requires on your end (spoiler: a board and a room)- How to build a branded trading board in Canva in about 20 minutes and print it locally for next to nothing- The single principle that makes both ideas cost almost nothing to run- How to write the offer in the buyer's words so it actually gets booked- Where to run these on a soft date — suites, pregame and postgame spaces, or any open area- How to keep the booking flow simple: visible price, clear inclusions, one buttonTIMESTAMPS[00:00] – Two easy promo ideas built to rescue a soft date on your schedule[00:43] – Why fantasy football draft season makes this an August-into-September play[01:12] – A suite rental example: $400 for 20 people and how the draft-night setup works[01:42] – What Boise State and the Baltimore Ravens added to make their packages sell out[02:40] – The bundling move that turns a one-night rental into future attendance[03:10] – Fidget trading explained, and why families already get it[03:39] – How stores and Chick-fil-A locations are already hosting trading meetups[04:07] – What a fidget trading event actually needs from your venue[04:35] – Build a branded trading board fast with Canva, ChatGPT, and a local printer[05:31] – The shared reason both promotions work: you're supplying space, not creating demand[06:29] – Sell it with the buyer's words — "host your fantasy draft here," not "suite rental package"[07:26] – The best way to use these ideas when the date is soft and the budget is zero[07:56] – Closing thoughts and an invitation to share how your event goesCALL TO ACTIONIf you've got a soft date coming up with no budget to fix it, pick one of these and run it — a fantasy draft in your suites or a fidget trading day at your ballpark or arena. Then head to Apple Podcasts or Spotify and leave a rating or review so the show reaches more sports marketers trying to sell more tickets and grow their fan base.

Kelly Poppinga is the defensive coordinator at BYU. As a player at BYU, Kelly earned both All-Conference and Academic All-Conference honors. As a senior, he led the Cougars with 113 tackles and helped BYU win consecutive conference championships in 2006 and 2007. He later spent time with three NFL teams and was part of the Arizona Cardinals organization during its run to Super Bowl XLIII (43). Kelly has coached college football since 2009, with stops at BYU, Virginia, and Boise State. And as a coach, he has helped develop several top NFL linebackers, including Kyle Van Noy, Sione Takitaki, and Fred Warner. In this episode we discuss the following: Kelly was crushing it at USU when he got the prompting: follow your dreams. That meant transferring to BYU at a time when players didn't transfer. He lost friends, lost playing time, and even risked losing his girlfriend. And then when he got to BYU, he doubted himself every day as a scout team player. But because he persisted, he ended up as team captain on an all-time great BYU team. Even though Kelly and his wife wanted to stay in Provo, they each individually got the prompting, while sitting in the temple, to head to Virginia. Again it was tough. His wife was 9 months pregnant. They had to move across the country. But it paved the way for an amazing run at Virginia, a 13-year mentorship from Bronco Mendenhall, and now the opportunity for Kelly to return to BYU. We have to put ourselves in uncomfortable positions for us to grow. As Kelly said, we're prone to take the easy path, where it's hard to grow. But by making ourselves uncomfortable, we're forced to grow.
