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.”

Idaho’s Most Unusual Listing: A Pair of Medieval Castles Complete With a Dungeon and Drawbridge
Idaho is not a place that’s often associated with Medieval castles, but a pair have just hit the market for $6.25 million.
The imposing stone structures have towers, turrets, ramparts, arrow-slit windows and even a drawbridge, and might just be the most authentic-looking castles this side of the Atlantic.
“Who expects to see a castle like this in Idaho?” said listing agent Brenda Burk of Coldwell Banker Schneidmiller Realty, who brought the property to the market last week. They are, she said, “extremely unusual.”

Schweitzer Castle and Château de Melusine, as they’re known, stand within Schweitzer Mountain Resort in the Selkirk Mountains and overlook the nearby mountain resort town of Sandpoint. They take in panoramic views of Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho’s largest lake.
The pair of ski-in/ski-out homes each have three bedrooms, two bathrooms and three stories, Burk explained. They are “so authentic,” she said. “Every single stone was handlaid.”
Schweitzer Castle, she said, wasn’t built for “functionality,” but has been modernized and adapted and now has everything a 21st-century residence requires, along with a dungeon, which for some buyers may also be a requisite.

The chateau, meanwhile, has a hot tub room with mountain views, as well as a garage.
The property is being sold furnished, and will come complete with the hand-carved statues, armor, mounted swords, stained-glass windows and a host of antiques dating to the 15th and 16th centuries.
The owner, an antique collector who couldn’t be reached for comment, “is always looking for that hidden jewel and he found that here,” Burk said.
The next custodian is likely to stem from a varied pool of buyers, Burk said, that would include “the trophy-home buyer, someone who can say ‘I own a castle.’”
The property could also appeal to someone looking for a vacation home, or a multi-generational estate, and beyond that “there’s the dreamers,” she said. “We definitely try to market to people who like Medieval history or maybe do Renaissance fairs.”
The seller “really wants it to go to someone with the same passion.”
