Sean Mannion of Oregon State Beavers out indefinitely with knee injury - ESPN
Oregon State sophomore quarterback Sean Mannion is out indefinitely after suffering a knee injury against Washington State, Beavers coach Mike Riley told reporters Monday.
Mannion played the entire game against the Cougars but didn't play well, throwing three of his four interceptions of the season in a 19-6 win for the 10th-ranked Beavers.
He had an MRI on Sunday, but no details were provided about the nature of his injury. Riley did indicate that Mannion will require surgery, though.
Junior Cody Vaz will replace Mannion against BYU this weekend. Vaz last saw game action in 2010 when he completed six of 17 passes for 48 yards.
Mannion completed 63 percent of his passes for 1,358 yards with seven touchdowns.
Under Mannion, the Beavers have the Pac-12's fourth-rated offense, averaging 459.5 yards per game and the league's No. 2 passing attack. Mannion, along with Arizona's Matt Scott, are the only two Pac-12 quarterbacks averaging more than 300 yards passing per game.
The Beavers (4-0, 3-0 Pac-12) went 3-9 last year but have been one of the nation's big surprises this fall, climbing the rankings after wins over Wisconsin, UCLA, Arizona and Washington State.
