The news about the battered Beavers wasn't good after Wednesday's practice, and it only got worse Thursday evening.
Oregon St. coach Mike Riley confirmed that neither Kevin Unga nor Tony Wilson will play Saturday against Stanford, leaving the Beavers with Reuben Robinson to play the middle. Robinson played well when inserted against Utah, or at least better, but the depth at linebacker is severely limited, and severely inexperienced.
WR Jordan Bishop won't play either, after struggling with his ankle all week. Kevin Cummings will get the start in his place.
Center Grant Johnson has also been downgraded from doubtful to out, with long snapper Geoff Garner playing full time in his place.
