DISASTER in Corvallis: Oregon State controlled most of the night against Houston but too many mistakes — two blocked field goals, blown coverages, and late-game miscommunication — turned a sure win into a heartbreaking 27-24 overtime loss at Reser Stadium.

Houston Stuns Oregon State in Overtime After Special Teams Meltdown by Beavers A series of catastrophic special teams blunders by Oregon State handed the Houston Cougars a stunning 27-24 overtime victory on Friday night at Reser Stadium. The Beavers had multiple opportunities to secure a win, but crucial errors in the kicking game ultimately sealed their fate in a game they largely controlled. The most glaring of these errors came as time expired in regulation. With the score tied 24-24, Oregon State lined up for a game-winning field goal attempt. However, the kick was blocked by a surging Houston defensive line, sending the game to an improbable overtime and leaving the home crowd in stunned silence. This was not the only special teams miscue for the Beavers. In the second quarter, another Oregon State field goal attempt was blocked, preventing them from extending their lead. These two plays proved to be the difference in a tightly contested matchup. Coming into the game, Oregon State's special teams unit was a known vulnerability, ranking last in the nation in special teams efficiency according to some metrics. This Achilles' heel was on full display Friday night, overshadowing an otherwise solid performance by the Beavers' offense and defense. Oregon State had built a lead through a balanced offensive attack, but their inability to convert on crucial scoring opportunities, particularly in the kicking game, kept Houston within striking distance. The Cougars capitalized on the Beavers' mistakes, forcing overtime and ultimately winning on a field goal of their own in the extra period. For Houston, the victory marks a significant road win against a Power Five opponent. For Oregon State, it is a devastating loss that will raise serious questions about the state of their special teams and their ability to close out games. The recurring theme of self-inflicted wounds in the third phase of the game will undoubtedly be a major focus for the coaching staff moving forward.

A battle of contrasting trajectories is set for this Friday night under the lights at Reser Stadium as the winless Oregon State Beavers host the undefeated Houston Cougars. The game is scheduled for a 7:30 PM PDT kickoff and will be a crucial test for two teams with vastly different starts to their 2025 seasons. The Beavers (0-4) are in desperate search of their first victory after a challenging start to the campaign. Despite playing with heart, Oregon State has been unable to find a winning formula, dropping their first four contests. This Friday presents a significant opportunity to turn their season around in front of their home crowd. On the other side of the field, the Houston Cougars (3-0) come to Corvallis riding a wave of momentum. Under the guidance of their coaching staff, the Cougars have been firing on all cylinders, showcasing a potent offense and a stout defense that has yet to taste defeat this year. Their unblemished record has them positioned as a formidable opponent for the Beavers. This matchup marks the fourth meeting between the two programs, with Houston holding a 2-1 series advantage. The historical context adds another layer of intrigue to the contest, though the teams have not faced each other since 1970. For Oregon State, this game is about more than just avoiding a fifth straight loss; it's about finding an offensive rhythm and building confidence for the remainder of the season. The Beavers will need their key playmakers to step up and deliver a breakthrough performance against a tough Houston defense. Houston will be looking to maintain its perfect record and continue its climb in the national rankings. A road win against a Power Five opponent would be a significant statement for the Cougars as they navigate their 2025 schedule. Will the Beavers finally break through and capture their first win of the season, or will the Cougars' early-season dominance continue?

Washington State Falls in Apple Cup, QB Controversy Finally Resolved with Zevi Eckhaus In the 117th edition of the Apple Cup, Washington State faced a tough 59-24 loss against the Washington Huskies. While the outcome was disappointing for Cougar fans, the game brought some clarity to WSU's quarterback situation as Zevi Eckhaus was named the starter and showcased his potential. Eckhaus, making his first start of the season after a quarterback controversy, finished with 277 passing yards, two touchdowns, and also added a rushing touchdown. Despite two interceptions and a fumble, his performance earned him the official nod as the starting quarterback moving forward. The Cougar offense showed signs of life with Eckhaus at the helm, moving the ball more effectively than in previous games. However, Washington's offense proved too much to handle, with quarterback Demond Williams Jr. leading a dominant performance, including four passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown. The Huskies pulled away in the fourth quarter, outscoring WSU 28-0. This game provided a clear direction for Washington State's offense with Zevi Eckhaus taking the reins, even as the team looks to address defensive struggles after giving up over 50 points for the second consecutive week. Key moments: Zevi Eckhaus's first start of the season. Washington's dominant offensive performance. Eckhaus solidifying his role as WSU's starting QB despite the loss. #AppleCup #WashingtonState #WSUFootball #CollegeFootball #ZeviEckhaus #Pac12 Welcome to Pac-12 Daily: your front row seat to the next era of college athletics.

The nightmare season for Oregon State football continues as the Beavers were utterly dismantled by the No. 6 ranked Oregon Ducks in the 2025 Civil War, suffering a brutal 41-7 defeat at Autzen Stadium. This isn't just a loss; it's a statement about the direction of this program under Head Coach Trent Bray, and frankly, it's a direction that needs to change. In this video, we break down the complete and total domination by the Oregon Ducks. From Dante Moore's surgical performance, throwing for 305 yards and four touchdowns to four different receivers, to a Ducks' defense that held the Beavers to a measly 147 total yards, this was a masterclass by one team and an utter collapse by the other. GAME BREAKDOWN: Final Score: Oregon 41, Oregon State 7 Key Stats: Total Yards: Oregon 585, Oregon State 147 Passing Yards: Oregon 305, Oregon State 80 Rushing Yards: Oregon 280, Oregon State 67 Turning Point: After a briefly competitive first quarter that saw the game tied 7-7, Oregon exploded for 34 unanswered points, showcasing the vast gap in talent and coaching between these two programs. TRENT BRAY'S FAILURES: This loss drops the Beavers to a disastrous 0-4 on the season. The problems we've seen all year were on full display: a nonexistent offense, a defense that couldn't get a stop, and a general lack of discipline and preparedness. We'll analyze the questionable play calls, the inability to make in-game adjustments, and the overall sense that this team is regressing. Is Trent Bray the right person to lead this team out of the wilderness? After a performance like this, the answer is a resounding NO. Join the conversation in the comments below. Is it time for a change in Corvallis? Who should be on the shortlist to replace Trent Bray?

Oregon State football is staring at a hard truth: Trent Bray’s time is up — no matter what happens against the Oregon Ducks, the Beavers need a new direction. In today’s episode, we break down why the program can’t afford to wait any longer.

We then turn to Fresno State, where EJ Warner just tossed 4 touchdowns — but is he still more of a liability than an answer? Under new leadership, the Bulldogs’ path to a bowl game (and beyond) hangs on his consistency.

Finally, we head to Boise. After Notre Dame’s shaky start, has the door cracked back open for the Broncos to make a shocking run at the College Football Playoff?

It’s a packed show with bold takes, tough questions, and no-spin analysis.

After a disappointing season, Gonzaga Men's Basketball will look to bounce back and regain its dominance as one of the best programs in the country. They will do so in their final year in the West Coast Conference (WCC) before transitioning to the New Pac-12 Conference in July 2026. Andy Paton of Locked on Zags and Gonzaga Bulldogs on SI joins me to discuss the direction of the historic program. Find more from Andy and Gonzaga here: https://www.youtube.com/@LockedOnZags

Washington State is in full quarterback MELTDOWN mode heading into Apple Cup week. The Cougars are running out of options fast — three possible directions remain, but none come without major risk. With Washington looming, is there any move that can save this season? We also turn to Corvallis, where Oregon State has to make a decision on Trent Bray. Is he the right man to lead the Beavers into the future, or does the Civil War against Oregon only highlight the need for a new era? And down in the Sun Belt, Texas State may have lost this past weekend, but the Bobcats’ young core is legit. Why this program’s foundation is stronger than ever — and why the future in San Marcos should have fans fired up. Plus, I’m joined by Grant Hite from Up West Sports to break down the latest developments around the new-look Pac-12 Conference and what it all means moving forward. It’s a packed Pac-12 Daily episode with bold takes, tough questions, and a spotlight on the biggest storylines across college football’s West Coast and beyond.

College football chaos was alive and well this weekend. Fresno State walked into Corvallis and stole a 36–27 win from Oregon State — their first victory there since 1991. But let’s be clear: this was an ugly win that Fresno should embrace, powered by a dominant ground game and a defense/special teams unit that capitalized on every mistake. E.J. Warner made plays with his legs when it mattered most, but another costly interception proves he still has to tighten up if the Bulldogs want to be true Mountain West contenders.

On the flip side, Oregon State put up 528 yards of offense and still found a way to lose. Between six false starts, four botched conversions, and a punt snap that turned into a Fresno touchdown, this was a special teams meltdown for the ages. Maalik Murphy threw for 371 yards and four scores, Taz Reddicks had a breakout game, but the Beavers are 0–2 and beating themselves more than their opponents.

And don’t sleep on Utah State. The Aggies fell 44–22 at Texas A&M, but for once you could actually see progress under Bronco Mendenhall. They fought, they found playmakers like Miles Davis and Brady Boyd, and they weren’t intimidated in College Station. Still — the offensive line is a crisis, not a concern, and until that’s fixed, Bryson Barnes won’t have a chance to shine.

This episode is all about bold truths: Fresno is trending up, Oregon State is unraveling, and Utah State might be closer to turning the corner than people think.

Authenticity is hard to find. Come get your dose of real.

Boise State bounced back in a BIG way after their season-opening loss to South Florida, dominating Eastern Washington 51-14 in front of a packed house at Albertsons Stadium. This was more than just a win — it was a STATEMENT. Maddux Madsen led the charge with over 300 passing yards and 2 touchdowns, while Dylan Riley exploded on the ground for 123 yards on just 6 carries. In total, the Broncos racked up a massive 637 yards of offense, with FIVE different players scoring rushing touchdowns. Defensively, Notre Dame transfer Jestin Mickey made his presence felt early with a forced fumble, setting the tone for a defense that held EWU to just 14 points. Special teams had ups and downs, but true freshman kicker Canaan Moore showed promise. The win pushes Boise State to 1-1, extends their 12-game home winning streak, and proves this team is still a Mountain West powerhouse. Drop your thoughts in the comments! Is Maddux Madsen the real deal? Can this run game carry Boise State the rest of the season? Did this feel like a true STATEMENT win?
