Overview

• Coach Trent Bray dismissed Jamie Christian on Sunday following a loss at Appalachian State that left the Beavers 0-6, their worst start since 1991.
• Oregon State’s special teams have been rated last among 136 FBS teams by Pro Football Focus after repeated breakdowns across multiple games.
• Costly errors have included a punt-return touchdown versus Fresno State, two blocked field goals against Houston, botched long snaps, and a kickoff fumble in the latest defeat.
• The kicking unit is 3-for-8 on field goals and the team ranks near the bottom of the FBS in most special teams categories, with no permanent replacement for Christian announced.
• Bray urged fans and donors to stay engaged as the review unfolds, and Oregon State hosts Wake Forest on Saturday.
