Pullman, Wash. ? Jed Collins is sure to be on someone’s radar now.
The little-used tight end caught a touchdown pass and rushed for another score as Washington State upset No. 16 Oregon, 34-23, Saturday, dealing a blow to the Ducks’ hopes for a BCS bowl appearance.
“Today, I think they just underestimated me. They didn’t hear of me before this game,” the 6-foot-2, 250-pound junior said. “If I can fly under the radar and get a couple of catches, I’m happy.”
