CFB:
Oregon State has fired their special teams coach following Saturday’s loss at Appalachian State. Beavers head coach Trent Bray released a statement yesterday on the dismissal of Coach Jamie Christian reading in part ‘"Now is the right time to make a change in our football program.”
The loss dropped OSU to 0 – 6 but Athletic Director Scott Barnes believes the season can still be salvaged. The AD also released a statement yesterday noting high expectations are not being met, and he and coach Bray are reviewing every aspect of the program.
It’s homecoming Saturday against Wake Forest.
Oregon dropped a spot to 3rd in the Associated Press poll behind Miami. The Hurricanes climbing to number 2 isn’t a big surprise since they had a Top 25 win against Florida State. It may have also hurt Oregon’s strength of schedule when Penn State was upset by previously winless UCLA. The U of O remained ranked 2nd in the Coaches Poll.
The Ducks have number 7 Indiana at Autzen Saturday. ESPN College Game Day will broadcast their pre-game show from Eugene.
