Washington State Plays for Bowl Eligibility vs. Oregon State as Beavers Transition to New Coach

Two OSU receivers facing DUII plus reckless-driving charges are out for the trip to Pullman.

Overview

  • A victory would give WSU six wins and secure bowl eligibility for the ninth time in the last 10 full seasons.
  • OSU confirmed JaMarcus Shephard as its next head coach on Friday, with interim Robb Akey coaching his final game today.
  • Wideouts Jimmy Valsin III and David Wells Jr. face DUII and reckless-driving charges and are not on the trip; WR Taz Reddicks is also out with an injury.
  • Oregon State has not named a starting quarterback, and freshman Tristan Ti’a could see time after a strong outing against Tulsa.
  • The finale in Pullman doubles as a 'Pac-2' capstone after the schools scheduled two meetings this year, with kickoff at 3:30 p.m. PT on The CW.
