COLLEGE FOOTBALL NEWS AND NOTES


Good news, bad news story for Beavers football… Oregon State star junior OG Jeremy Perry, arguably the top player in the country at the position, will be out 6-8 weeks after suffering an injury in the Beavers’ opening season win over Utah. The school did not officially announce the specifics of the injury, however, it is believed to be a broken leg. The better news for Oregon State is that all signs point to WR Sammie Stroughter returning to action when the Beavers play Cincinnati on Thursday night. Stroughter, who took a leave of absence from the team for personal reasons early in fall camp, was at one point questionable for the entire season, however, he unexpectedly returned to practice just before the start of the season and was practicing with the regular offense on Sunday. Stroughter was a third-team All-America selection last year when he caught 79 passes for 1,293 yards; he scored three TDs on punt returns.
