Shephard’s Beavers Aim High Against Houston | Oregon State Beavers Football News

JaMarcus Shephard, Oregon State’s new offensive coordinator, is ready to lead his first game against No. 23 Houston this Saturday, emphasizing explosive plays and team versatility while rallying the squad around heart, intensity, and shared purpose. He’s ignoring preseason hype, focusing instead on what winning football looks like and trusting his players’ chemistry — especially with Braden Atkinson locked in as QB. With a tough history against ranked teams, Shephard’s message is clear: never back down. Kickoff is at 9 AM PT on ESPN.
