Oregon State AD promised “immediate” change and then let his football coach fire the special team coordinator.

The Beavers are 0-6.

This is immediacy?

On the art of timing and reading the room:

Special teams have cost the Beavers at least three wins this season, but they still had a chance to win all three. Who gets blamed for the fact they've won none?

Trent Bray said Maalik Murphy's hand injury, which kept him from taking snaps under center vs. Houston, kept him out of practice today and yesterday.

Beavers hoping he'll be good to go tomorrow if not Wednesday, but sounds like his status is questionable for App State. #GoBeavs
