This week's I-5 Corridor Traffic Report begins with the heartbreak of the Mariners' Game 7 loss to Toronto in the ALCS.

It ends with talk of the Grateful Dead, Tie-dye and whether or not we just don't get it.

And in the middle, the two dissect Oregon's 56-10 beating of Rutgers.

The Oregon Ducks are undefeated no more. After a disappointing loss to Indiana last week, Tyson and Justin take a look at the challenging road ahead for a team that still has everything to play for.

Plus: Tyson's review of Game 3 of the ALCS and the two talk about a wildcard of an Oregon State coaching candidate.

The No. 3 Oregon Ducks beat Penn State, flew back home to Oregon, rested during the bye and are welcomed back to football with the No. 7 Indiana Hoosiers coming into Autzen for another top-10 matchup.

This week, Tyson and Justin voice their concerns about Indiana’s offense, try to figure out what happened to Penn State against UCLA and enjoy the moment of an unexpected Mariners’ playoff run.

Listen for our thoughts on the game, the experience at Beaver Stadium and a review of Pittsburgh — a great American city.

Well, we’ve largely said what we’re going to say about this Oregon/Penn State matchup.

At least that’s what I thought until friend of the Corridor Shane Hoffmann gave me a ring. With the No. 6 Ducks and the No. 3 Nitnay Lions kicking off tomorrow, I caught up with my old pal for a few final thoughts about Oregon and Penn State before the White Out sets in over in State College.

It’s No. 6 Oregon and No. 3 Penn State with College GameDay in town, a White Out planned, Big Ten bragging rights on the line and playoff implications aplenty.

What more could you want?

After getting off to a 4-0 start, Oregon’s first true test of 2025 is here: an experienced Penn State team, coming off a bye, looking for revenge after its 2024 Big Ten Championship Game loss. It’s as big of a road game as Tyson and Justin can remember for the Ducks. They preview the game, give their predictions and catch up on the Mariners in this week’s episode of the Traffic Report.

The Traffic Report

— Tyson Alger, The I-5 Corridor

The game is coming back.

The Oregonian reported earlier this week that Oregon and Oregon State have struck an agreement to resume their annual rivalry game beginning in 2027 — meaning we’ll only have a one-year hiatus after Saturday’s 129th meeting between the two programs.

But on this week’s I-5 Corridor Traffic Report, Tyson Alger and Justin Myers wonder just how much of a rivalry will be left to resume.

No, Oregon hasn’t played anyone.

No, we’ll probably not know anything until Penn State.

But through two weeks, could the Oregon Ducks have looked any better? Tyson and Justin get together on this week’s Traffic Report to talk about Oregon’s 2-0 start, preview the Northwestern game and wonder just how good this Oregon team could be.

One game down, and there are no apparent issues for an Oregon Ducks football team that thumped Montana State 59-13 on Saturday in the season opener.

Tyson Alger and Justin Myers break down what they liked, what they still need to see and more in this week's episode of The I-5 Corridor's Traffic Report.

Then they dive into the comment war between Mike Gundy and Dan Lanning and close with Justin's big question: When did guys stop wearing mouth guards?

Ladies and Gentlemen, we’ve made it.

Eight long months have passed since the Oregon Ducks’ football season came to an end in Pasadena. In the time since we’ve seen portal additions, headlining returns, position battles and a new mantra from a team that spent half of 2024 ranked No. 1: Double Down.

Do we think the Ducks can run it back in 2025? Tyson and Justin discuss on this week’s I-5 Corridor Traffic Report.
