A reader asked me if “the fix” was on at Reser Stadium on Saturday. Another wanted to know whether the Oregon Ducks have been sandbagging this season as a strategy. And a bunch of readers asked about the job security of Oregon State Athletic Director Scott Barnes.

Will the Rose Bowl stay open?

Why hasn’t Oregon retired Sabrina Ionescu’s number?

How should Washington State fans feel about the football season?

Thanks to all who submitted questions.
