Katz Still The Starter, But Will Agnew?

PrintOregon St. head coach Mike Riley reaffirmed at the weekly Pac-12 Media Update that Ryan Katz remains the starter at quarterback, at least for now, but that Sean Manion, who almost led Oregon St. to a comeback win Saturday against Sacramento St., will also play again Saturday morning against Wisconsin.
The plan is not set as to when they will be used, as in by quarters or halves, but there will be a play package used for both. Riley compared it to WRs or TEs, and having different packages utilizing them.
What's not set is whether freshman RB Malcolm Agnew, who rushed for an NCAA leading 223 yards in the Beavers' 29-28 overtime loss to the Hornets, will be in any shape to repeat that performance against the Badgers.
Agnew pulled his right hamstring in practice Tuesday morning, and missed most of the session. The severity of the problem won't be known for a while, but Agnew has a history of hamstring problems in both legs. He missed several games in high school with hamstring injuries.
DT Kevin Frahm did return to practice Tuesday morning, and is expected to play against Wisconsin.
Oregon St. is practicing in the morning all week, before leaving Friday morning for Madison, in order to adjust for the 11 AM CDT kickoff time that is 9 AM PDT (and Oregon St. player body time), for the ESPN2 broadcast window.

Hey look! A Bright Spot from the Sac State game!
God: Squish.
Good lord, when will it end?
Another bright spot!
We got on the Jim Rome Show this morning:
How about Oregon State losing to Sacramento State? UH OH. (plays Carl Lewis “uh oh” clip) The Beav! Losing to Sac State!
Woooo media!
Manion took nearly all the snaps with the first team in Tuesday's practice,
while Katz worked mostly with the second team.
One might have expected them to both get a more even number of snaps with the ones if they are going to both play with the ones. It will be interesting to see what happens in the Wednesday practice.
The jury is out, but it is watching closely.

Go Beavs!
Agnew "doubtful" for Wisconsin
according to Riley, and he is limping and watching Wednesday practice.

Really?
This is getting a bit ridiculous, and I’m not feeling good about this season at all now.

As long as he's only out for the Wisconsin game
Then I don’t think you’re feelings about the season should change. Unless you thought we were going to win.
Go Beavers!
I didn't expect so many injuries to keep piling on
Didn’t necessarily think they would win this Wisconsin game but thought they would win last week.
Just seems to be digging a hole, both wins and mentality of the team, too early in the season. This team needs an identity and leadership and if we keep losing guys out there it will be hard to get up to speed. The season is going to go fast and the schedule is a tough one.
What I do still have hope for is play this tough game and then they get a bye and play UCLA at home.
I guess my knee-jerk reaction was out of all the stuff last Saturday Agnew was one incredibly bright spot. I’m a little worried about this being a reoccurring deal too. Guess I’m not quite as overall down on it all as I said there, but I am very worried how this season is panning out already for I was truly thinking the Beavs would win of course against Sac State then actually play a tough and respectful game against Wisconsin and go into the conference play with a solid 1 and 1 record.

It's a valid concern,
because as tough as the schedule is, wins are going to be tough to come by under the best of circumstances. A “bad” loss, one that shouldn’t have happened, winds up really hurting, because it’s almost impossible to get back.
I put the Sac. St. loss (loosely) in the category of the loss at Stanford in ’08, and the Arizona loss in ’09, games the Beavers could and should have won, and an L that will come back to haunt them later.

I’d put it more in the category of the loss to Washington State last season. A loss to a team so bad that it makes you completely re-evaluate the team as a whole. I didn’t find the loss as painful as, say, Civil War 2008 or the LSU loss in 2004, but it’s a different kind of pain — more like embarrassment.
It does qualify similar to the WSU game
in that it was both a big surprise and an embarrassing loss. The difference is no one play, or several, would have changed the outcome. Sac. St., like LSU, Stanford, and Arizona, were games where a single play would have changed not only the outcome, but the long term outlook. And in some cases, the season.

Mostly agree with both of you here, the big difference though is that at the least this Sac St loss came in the first game with all that entails. Not saying that either loss is acceptable but the WSU loss did come in the end part of the season when the team was suppose to making a bowl/winning record run. This first game loss does, as Connor is trying to convince me, have the possibility of getting things turned around for a solid season still.
