Oregon State Football 2026, Braden Atkinson Is QB1, The Pac-12 Lives, And Every Damn Game Predicted

In this episode of the Belligerent Beavs Podcast, we’re so fucking back for Season 6. 🔥🍻

We catch up on Kevin Griffin taking over Oregon State athletics and the Pac-12 returning from the dead before diving into JaMarcus Shephard’s first season, Braden Atkinson beating out Maalik Murphy for QB1, and a transfer-heavy roster filled with new weapons but still dependent on the offensive line figuring its shit out. We break down Aaron Butler, Aeryn Hampton, AJ Newberry, Eric Olsen and the tight ends we are once again begging Oregon State to throw to, plus a defense with real returning talent and special teams that literally cannot be worse than last year. Then we predict every damn game on the 2026 Oregon State football schedule, exact scores included, and land on two bowl-bound and one deeply blasphemous seasons.

The Beavs are back. 🦫
