Oregon State will be without its starting quarterback against No. 13 Utah on Saturday.
According to The Oregonian, Seth Collins suffered a knee while stretching before the team’s practice on Friday morning. He was originally expected to be a game-time decision, but ended up not making the trip to Salt Lake City.
Collins, a true freshman, has started all seven games for the 2-5 Beavers and has thrown for 890 yards, six touchdowns and four interceptions while completing just 51.9 percent of his passes. He also has 536 yards and five more scores rushing this season.
Collins split time with redshirt freshman Nick Mitchell against Colorado last weekend. With Collins out, Mitchell, who completed 9-of-24 passes for 122 yards and an interception against Colorado, will likely get the start.
Marcus McMaryion, another redshirt freshman, is third on the depth chart at quarterback for OSU. He has appeared in three games this season, completing six-of-17 passes for 60 yards and an interception.
