Matayo Uiagalelei Talks Defense in Win Over Idaho
Dan Lanning On 24-14 Win Over Idaho
Oregon defensive end Matayo Uiagalelei had himself a big day on Saturday, recording a pair of sacks in a 24-14 win over the Idaho Vandals. The defense did their job on an otherwise relatively quiet day from Oregon’s offense.
Uiagalelei met with reporters in Eugene following the win.
Question: Did the game being that close kind of open your guys’ eyes that you can’t take any opponent lightly?
Uiagalelei: “Honestly, as a defense I don’t feel like we took ’em lightly. There’s definitely plays we could take back like the trick plays. There’s a play I gave up a touchdown, quarterback ran it in. Just can’t take anybody lightly. We just gotta learn from our mistakes. We got next week.”
Question: What’s the vibe of this team right now?
Uiagalelei: “First things first, Coach Lanning says we always gotta go to the doctor. So tomorrow we got meetings, some other stuff, lift. We’re gonna see the doctor. Even though we won there’s a lot of stuff we could have done better.”
Question: What’s one thing you’re going to be focused on this week heading into next week?
Uiagelelei: “For me, I know I mentioned that the quarterback ran it in. That play was designed for me to make that play and I missed it. Just doing my job to my best.”
Question: What was the mood in the locker room after this game?
Uigalelei: “Win is a win but definitely at the same time, Coach Lanning always use to say we had the result we wanted but the process wasn’t the one we wanted. We want to get the result and the process. And when it’s not the process, just gotta fix it.”
Question: Boise State’s running back is one of the better ones in the country. He had over 250 yards rushing and six touchdowns today. Just what that challenge might look like for you guys next week?
Uigalelei: “I haven’t looked at Boise State. I’ve heard of the running back. But we’re playing us every week. We feel like if we play to our standard I don’t think we can lose a game. If he is good, we’ll have to top him.”

Cold front comes into Idaho after a rainy week
It was a rainy week with intense showers passing through the Treasure Valley. Sunday is expected to be clear but cooler weather and more precipitation is on the way.
I got to capture a phenomenal rainbow coming into the station today after some of the rain we saw on Saturday clear out.
The start of this wee will see some more rain on the way for Boise. Twin Fall will see their precipitation arrive between Monday and Tuesday with chances of rain snow/ mixes and possible accumulation.
A cold front will move in this week dropping temperatures. 40’s will turn into 30’s for the Magic and Treasure Valley’s. Mountains will expect a cool down as well. Thanksgiving is looking like a clear day though for most parts of Idaho.
Colder is coming this week, make sure to bundle up!

Idaho teen, 18, arrested after dead newborn found in hospital’s Safe Haven baby box
An Idaho teen is behind bars after a dead baby was found in a hospital drop-off box meant for the anonymous surrender of newborns.
Angel Newberry, 18, was arrested in Twin Falls more than a month after medical officials found the dead baby girl wrapped in a blanket with her placenta still attached in the Safe Haven Baby Box at the Grove Creek Medical Center in Blackfoot, authorities announced Friday.
“The Safe Haven Baby Box is intended to safely and anonymously allow custodial parents to surrender a newborn under 30 days old without legal repercussions, provided the child is unharmed,” the Blackfoot Police Department said in a social media post.
“Unfortunately, the placement of a harmed or deceased infant is not protected under the system of Idaho law.”
Hospital staff immediately responded to an alarm on Oct. 13 indicating a baby had been placed in the box — making the disturbing discovery that the newborn had been dead long before she was abandoned, according to Safe Haven Baby Boxes.
Idaho law only allows for the surrender of an infant who is unharmed.
“We are heartbroken,” Safe Haven Baby Box founder Monica Kelsey said last month.
“Let this be clear: this is an illegal, deadly abandonment.”
The accused teen was charged with failing to report a death to law enforcement officials and the coroner, police said.
Additional charges could be filed as the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the baby’s death is ongoing.
She is being held at Bingham County Jail.
