Jimmy Rogers has officially left Washington State after just ONE season to become the next head coach at Iowa State. Is the new Pac-12 in trouble before it even launches in 2026? In a shocking move that has sent ripples through the college football world, Jimmy Rogers has blindsided the Washington State Cougars. After leading Wazzu to a bowl-eligible 6-6 record in his debut season, Rogers is heading to Ames to replace Matt Campbell (who recently took the Penn State job). This marks the second straight season WSU has lost its head coach to a "bigger" program before a bowl game, following Jake Dickert's departure for Wake Forest last year. With the Pac-12 expansion set for July 1, 2026, many are asking: Can Washington State survive as a "farm school" for the Power Four? Chad Kebba of UpWest Sports Joins the Show to break down the Coaching Change.

Oregon State has officially hit the reset button — and slammed GO with one of the most energizing hires in college football. JaMarcus Shephard, the former Alabama assistant and wide receiver whisperer behind stars like Rome Odunze, Jalen McMillan, David Bell, and Ryan Williams, is now the 33rd head coach of the Beavers. This episode breaks down exactly why this hire is bigger than football, why OSU chose upside over safe, and how Shephard’s leadership could reshape the entire identity of the program.

Shephard didn’t just give a press conference — he delivered a masterclass in vision, authenticity, and discipline. He called out the team’s lack of discipline immediately, demanded alumni get “their butts back here,” and set a culture standard based on class, integrity, academic excellence, and community connection. He brings CEO-level leadership learned from coaching legends like Kalen DeBoer, Mike Leach, Jeff Brohm, Willie Taggart, and Bobby Petrino, and promises to surround himself with elite teachers and recruiting minds.

Off the field, his story is everything Oregon State stands for: raised in poverty, riding a 20-minute bus just to get to school, strict academic expectations, and a life built on outworking everyone in the room. His middle school teacher even sent OSU an unsolicited letter calling him “one of the most amazing students I’ve ever had.” Now that kid from Fort Wayne is running a Power Five program.

In this episode, we dive into:
Shephard’s emotional origin story
The CEO traits OSU fell in love with
His impact on recruiting & transfers
His bold public goal: Win the Pac-12 and a bowl with class

This is a culture hire. A recruiting hire. A rebuild hire. A belief hire.

Beaver Nation, let’s break it all down.

Washington State Football Stumbles in Second Half, Falls 24-20 to JMU Washington State Cougars football suffered a heartbreaking 24-20 loss to the James Madison Dukes on Saturday, squandering a halftime lead in Harrisonburg. Despite a strong start, the WSU offense sputtered late, dropping the Cougars to 5-6 on the 2025 college football season. Quarterback Zevi Eckhaus led Washington State with 171 passing yards and two total touchdowns, including a 4-yard rushing score that put the Cougs up 17-10 at the break. However, a costly pick-six and a stagnant second-half offense doomed WSU. The defense, which held firm early, surrendered two explosive plays—a 68-yard pass and a 58-yard rushing touchdown by JMU’s Wayne Knight—that ultimately sealed the game. Key Washington State vs. JMU stats highlight the struggle: the Cougs managed just 3 points in the second half. Washington State football must now regroup for a critical season finale against Oregon State to fight for bowl eligibility. Key Stats: Zevi Eckhaus (WSU): 19/31, 171 Yds, 1 TD, 1 INT Tony Freeman (WSU): 6 Rec, 81 Yds, 1 TD Final Score: JMU 24, WSU 20 Gavin Hite of UP West Sports joins the show to discuss the state of the Cougs.

The season obviously did not go the way Oregon State football hoped it would after bringing in top-dollar prospects from the NCAA Transfer Portal. After begining the season 2-8 and moving on from head coach Trent Bray, the Beavers are at a CROSSROADS to get their program back to competitive shape. Can Athletic Director Scott Barnes make the right decision while also making a splash to rejuvenate the fan base in Corvallis?

San Diego State Aztecs vs. Hawaii Rainbow Warriors Preview This is a key Mountain West conference game with the Aztecs looking to maintain their lead in the standings. Key Storylines SDSU's Dominant Defense vs. Hawaii's Potent Passing Attack: This is the ultimate strength-on-strength matchup. San Diego State boasts one of the nation's best defenses, ranking very high in scoring defense (10.0 points per game), total defense, and pass defense. They will be tasked with slowing down Hawaii's high-powered passing offense, which ranks top-10 nationally, led by quarterback Micah Alejado and receivers like Jackson Harris and Pofele Ashlock. Mountain West Title Implications: San Diego State is currently in sole possession of first place in the Mountain West. A win here is crucial to their bid for the conference championship game in what is their final season in the MW before moving to the Pac-12. Aztecs' Winning Streak: SDSU is on a six-game winning streak and is enjoying a significant resurgence under coach Sean Lewis. Their ability to win on the road, especially after a long trip to Hawaii, will be tested. Recent Series History: While SDSU has dominated the series overall, the last four meetings have all been decided by one score, suggesting that a close game in Honolulu is very possible.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are ranked No. 21 in the Preseason AP Poll Top 25—and frankly, that's an insult! In this video, we break down why the media is sleeping on Mark Few's squad and argue that the Zags are ranked WAY TOO LOW going into the 2025-2026 college basketball season. From the veteran leadership of Graham Ike and the talent of the new backcourt to Coach Few's consistent history of success (16 straight preseason AP Poll appearances!), this program deserves far more respect. We dive into the specific reasons for the low ranking (transfer portal uncertainty? lack of blue-blood bias?) and why Gonzaga is poised to greatly exceed expectations this year. Don't fall for the disrespect! Watch next to see our full breakdown and where we think the Zags should be ranked! Welcome to Pac-12 Daily: your front row seat to the next era of college athletics.
