Trent Bray is fired, and Oregon State Athletics somehow found a way to make things worse. We unpack how the Beavs went from hopeful to hopeless, why the Bray firing doesn't fix a broken culture, what players are saying behind the scenes, and why fans are fed up with the Scott Barnes regime. From Jonathan Smith comeback whispers to Gruden and Orgeron rumors, this episode dives into the leadership vacuum at OSU, the NIL fallout, and the identity crisis tearing Beaver Nation apart.#gobeavs #oregonstate #oregonstatebeavers #belligerentbeavs #podcast #chopem #trentbray #jonathansmith #oregonstateathletics #oregonstatefootball #johngruden #edorgeron #scottbarnes #blueprintsports #beavernation #collegefootball

Mid-October feels like a mirror. Half the season gone, and suddenly every program is staring back at itself asking: Who are we, really? This week on Y-Option, fueled by our founding sponsor, 76® - keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat, Jim Thornby and I sat down to take stock of a college football season spinning faster than ever — coaches out, CFP contenders adjust week to week , and patience from fan bases are on life support.What we found wasn't just about wins and losses. It was about identity, timing, and the impossible math of modern college football: boosters, buyouts, and the transfer portal colliding into a single decision point.The Coaching Carousel Spins AgainThree jobs gone in a single weekend — Penn State, Oregon State, UAB — bringing the national total to eight. Each one for a different reason, but all part of a similar pattern.* Penn State went from preseason No. 2 to unemployed head coach in three weeks.* Buyouts north of $50 million are now normalized, which means emotions move faster than logic.* As Jim said, “If you're going to get rid of Coach A, you better have a damn good Coach B coming in next year.”The bigger question: do buyouts start to disappear? As the Playoff expands and the calendar stretches, schools may no longer afford impatience. Or will they only grow?Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Oregon State's Tough ResetTrent Bray's exit hurts because it was homegrown. He played there, grew as a coordinator there and loved being the Beavers Head Coach more than anything. Watching head coaches get dismissed from their alma mater is simply brutal.* Why is it an attractive job? Because the Beavs next head coach inherits a program with a playoff path in the new Pac-12 structure. We dive into that and more.* Corvallis has the resources and loyalty to rise again — if they get the hire right.I said it on the pod: sometimes the game moves faster than your rebuild. But when a team loses hope, change follows.The Human Cost We Don't SeeWhen a coach is fired, the headline reads “$50 million buyout.” But the story from this lens is about the 300 people whose lives change by Monday morning.* The $17K QC coach.* The $45K assistant with a newborn.* The family wondering about health insurance in February.* The 4th grader who has to walk into school knowing EVERYONE knows his Dad just got fired, and likely boo'd the previous weekend.So to every player on a team in transition: you'll remember this season forever. Compete. Connect. Choose uncommon effort over easy excuses.Teams That Define the Moment* Indiana: Stunned Oregon in Autzen with six sacks and a line-of-scrimmage win few saw coming. A top-3 résumé right now.* USC: Looked like a Big Ten team vs. Michigan — 224 rush yards, physicality, command. If they win at Notre Dame, Jayden Maiava's in the Heisman conversation.The West Coast Snapshot* Washington is quietly dominant again with Demond Williams Jr. Too quiet in my eyes.* Arizona has made big strides this season and were a snap away from a huge upset over BYU.* UCLA, under interim Tim Skipper, looks reborn.* And Stanford's new $50M donation just made their future way more interesting than their record. And their head coaching vacancy more attractive.Some Conversation Starters * The expanded playoff will test how fast schools act — and overreact.* Buyouts will shrink. They have to.* The West is rising again — maybe not in one conference, but through identity, talent, and physicality.It's the season's halfway point, but the sport's heartbeat is racing. And each Saturday, ours is too.As always, much love and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

One quarter of hope, then reality. We unpack the 129th Civil War from the not-fake fake punt that flipped momentum to why the OL's zero-sack night matters. Maalik's rough outing, screens gone sideways, and the simple blueprint for Houston: run the ball and build 2nd-and-manageable. Plus, NIL transparency, donor clarity, and what game week should look like with students back at Reser.#gobeavs #oregonstate #oregonstatebeavers #belligerentbeavs #chopem #civilwar

Training camp is winding down, and game week is almost here (with Week Zero kicking off Saturday!). That means it's time for a recap from the road.On the latest episode of Y-Option, presented by our founding partner 76 — keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat — Jim Thornby and I sit down to unpack everything learned while traveling coast to coast.What stood out:* Penn State: The Nittany Lions have earned the right to be in the national title conversation. I'm a big believer in Drew Allar, as QBs need scars and every Penn State fan knows he has them. I think his maturity and work off the field will lead him to his most successful season in Happy Valley and I would bet in January he will say he played with the most joy in his young career. * Oregon: Despite losing a ton of production, their competitive depth is elite. Dante Moore (not yet named the starter) looked like one of the most impressive QBs I've seen in years. His ability to layer the ball, locate his wideouts and throw a catchable ball is as good as I've seen on the tour. * The Midwest stops: Illinois (my CFP sleeper), Wisconsin, and Iowa. Three places I'd never been to and each visit revealed growth and momentum. Walking away, my takeaway was simple: everybody has gotten better from a year ago. Another takeaway, Bret Bielema is one of the nation's most underrated head coaches. His experience as a head coach, an assistant with the Patriots & more has tangible depth to it and will only help this team if they can get through September undefeated. I think his team will be one of the biggest storylines of the season.* Back West: Our tour out West began in Eugene and then headed north to Seattle to see Jedd Fisch's team in his second year. Demond Williams, Jonah Coleman, Denzel Boston are all stars. With an improved OL this group is going to give teams fits. Add in two 6'4'' corners and UW will be a must see team this fall. We concluded in LA for some Big Ten Network crew fellowship and after watching DeShaun Foster's Bruins and Lincoln Riley's Trojans one thing is certain–the West Coast schools all look like B1G programs on the offensive and defensive lines. * Overall: the best part of the tour was time with my colleagues. Gerry DiNardo, Kyle Coughlin, Ashley Adamson and all of our Big Ten Network colleagues - it was an absolute blast and we made sure to make the most of it. And our Coach found himself with more slips than he knows what to do with!In addition, we dive into Cal naming a starting QB, Utah's opinions on public injury reports, Stanford in Week Zero and the Cougs and Beavs. Overall, this episode is a full rundown of training camp takeaways, the storylines that matter most, and what's ahead as the season kicks off.So with that, let's get after it!!

In my 20 years living in Los Angeles, I've noticed a pattern. If you grow up on the West Coast, there's always a pull to return to the Pacific time zone. For Oregon State quarterback Maalik Murphy, coming back West wasn't what he initially envisioned as one of the top quarterbacks in the Class of 2022 out of Serra High School in Gardena, California. But after stops at Texas and Duke, the gifted QB has found his way back, now leading the Oregon State Beavers.With spring ball in full swing across the country, we're excited to welcome Maalik to the Y-Option podcast for the first time, presented by our founding partner 76.Oregon State football has always been built on successful quarterback play complimenting a strong run game with a tough defense and an incredible fan base. Now, in Year 2 under Trent Bray, the Beavers are in position to make some serious noise out West.I still remember my first trip to Corvallis. It was 2006, my 2nd year coaching at USC. We rolled into Reser Stadium as the No. 3 team in the country, only to leave with a 33-31 loss and the sound of chainsaws ringing in our ears. That game wasn't my first introduction to the Beavs, though. I had already faced them as a player in the 2002 Insight Bowl while starting for Pitt. We won, and freshman Larry Fitzgerald became a household name that night. But what stuck with me was Oregon State's identity - tough, disciplined, and relentless.Fast forward to today, and the man leading the Beavers is a familiar name. Bray was a linebacker on that 2002 team and now holds his dream job as Oregon State's head coach. And this offseason, he might have landed his dream quarterback.When the Pac-12 reshaped itself last season, skeptics doubted whether the Beavers could land an elite quarterback in the transfer portal. But Beaver Nation proved them wrong. Coach Bray, offensive coordinator/QB coach Ryan Gunderson, and the Oregon State staff made their pitch, and one of the hottest names in the portal chose them. As Maalik shared with me on Y-Option, he's never been happier, or more confident.Hearing that was special. Maalik Murphy is the type of leader young quarterbacks should look up to - a model of resilience and perseverance.We hope you enjoy today's conversation. And to those of you in our Y-Option paid community - thank you for your continued support.Back to spring ball film study!Much love and Stay Steady,YogiThis episode is executive produced by Jim Thornby and edited by Victor RenThis podcast is a Best Coast Media productionY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.
