Oregon State has fired coach Trent Bray after the team fell to 0-7, its worst start since 1991. Athletic director Scott Barnes announced the decision on Sunday. Robb Akey will serve as interim head coach for the rest of the season while a national search for Bray's successor is conducted. Barnes expressed gratitude for Bray's dedication but cited unacceptable on-field results as the reason for the change. The decision followed a 39-14 loss to Wake Forest on Saturday. The school said Bray’s contract buyout will be covered by donor-generated funds.

ESPN previously reported that the deal was for $4 billion. The sale is expected to close by the end of this year.

Oregon’s starting quarterbacks have recently been seasoned upperclassmen with loads of experience. Bo Nix played a pair of seasons with the Ducks after transferring from Auburn and Dillon Gabriel helmed the team after two years at Oklahoma. Now it’s Dante Moore’s turn, but his path has been a bit different. Moore is the presumed starter for the No. 7 Ducks, although Austin Novosad and Luke Moga have also been in the mix during preseason camp. Lanning is expected to name a starter next week ahead of the team’s opener against Montana State at Autzen Stadium.
