Oregon State shorthanded vs. Arizona State

Oregon State will be without several starters Saturday, including veterans Alex Austin and Jaydon Grant, when the Beavers play Arizona State.

More than a handful of key players were injured during last Saturday’s game against California.

Among those who left the Cal game with an injury but will attempt to play against Arizona State are right tackle Taliese Fuaga, linebacker John McCartan, receiver Jesiah Irish and running back Jam Griffin.

Hurt last week but available if needed is left guard Heneli Bloomfield.

Out for Saturday’s game is Austin and Grant, receiver Anthony Gould, running back Deshaun Fenwick, linebacker Jack Colletto and offensive lineman Tyler Morano.

The loss of Austin and Grant is significant, as both are multiple year starters playing on the Pac-12′s best pass defense. With Colletto out, Oregon State’s short yardage package will change. Irish will return punts instead of Gould, who was injured during practice this week.

Fuaga returning to action is important as Morano was lost during practice this week. If Fuaga can’t go, the Beavers will go with freshman Jacob Strand.

Players who didn’t make the trip include Grant, Morano and quarterback Chance Nolan.
