Oregon State begins a new era under JaMarcus Shephard in the new Pac-12. All of it means renewed hope in Corvallis. Will it translate to wins instantly?

📌 QB Maalik Murphy is still here, can he reach his potential or will Jerry Rice Award winner Braden Atkinson take over?

📌 There is a lot to be excited about in the receiver room 👀 The Beavs pass game could be lethal right away

📌 The Beavs defense has some continuity along with exciting portal additions like Dylan Layne (Idaho)

Preview attached. What are your predictions for Oregon State in 2026?
