The 1976 Oregon State Beavers football team represented Oregon State University as a member of the Pacific-8 Conference (Pac-8) during the 1976 NCAA Division I football season. In their first season under head coach Craig Fertig, the Beavers compiled an overall record of 2–10 with a mark of 1–6 in conference play, placing last out of eight teams in the Pac-8, and were outscored 325 to 179.[2] The team played its five home games on campus at Parker Stadium in Corvallis.[3]
Fertig, age 34, was previously an assistant coach as the University of Southern California (USC) and a quarterback for the USC Trojans under John McKay. He succeeded Dee Andros in December 1975 with a three-year contract at $26,000 per year.[4][5]
