Former Duck QB Austin Novosad throws 3 TDs in 1st career start
In three seasons with the Oregon Ducks , quarterback Austin Novosad stuck around, awaiting his turn to start. The four-star passer from the 2023 class competed with Dante Moore for the starting nod in 2025, but was beat out and ultimately entered the transfer portal after the season having completed 12-of-15 passes for 99 yards as a Duck. Novosad soon committed to the Bowling Green Falcons, getting a fresh start and looking to compete for the starting job during his junior campaign. Once again, he was beat out, this time by Division-II Assumption College transfer Jay Kastantin. But with Kastantin out with an injury, Novosad finally got his first career college start on Tuesday night in Bowling Green's MAC matchup with Kent State. He didn't disappoint, completing 15-of-25 passes for 229 yards and three touchdowns, leading the Falcons to a 33-28 victory. Former Oregon Ducks QB Austin Novosad’s first career TD pass. Started for Bowling Green tonight, has 200 yards, 3TDs thru 3 quarters.

BLM to demolish, replace restrooms at Shotgun Creek near Eugene
The Bureau of Land Management will soon begin construction at the Shotgun Creek Recreation Area as part of BLM's plans to replace restrooms at the site. The park will stay open during construction. Starting in mid-November, BLM will demolish and remove the site's wastewater treatment infrastructure. Crews will demolish the above-ground facilities including a holding basin and a control shed and fill below-ground infrastructure with rocks and cement. The BLM will remove the southern restroom and temporarily close the northern restroom. In 2027, after decommissioning the existing facilities, BLM will install a temporary restroom and begin work on the new vault toilet which will replace the current restroom. The BLM said it needs to decommission the wastewater treatment system because of "continued deterioration." The recreation area will remain open during the construction, and BLM will try to limit construction to the off season. The Shotgun Creek Recreation Area is in Marcola 20 miles northeast of Eugene. The popular day-use area includes 6.4 miles of hiking trails, a swimming area, creeks and 23 picnicking units.
