It looks like Oregon State is being dealt a blow this year. It was recently reported that Sammie Stroughter may miss the season and red-shirt. Stroughter has been dealing with some personal family issues that have kept him out of training camp since August 8th. He was supposed to be a starting wide receiver and punt returner this year for the Beavers. This is a tough loss for OSU as Stroughter returned 3 punt returns for touchdowns last year including a huge one against USC to claim that victory. In fact, he was one of the main reasons why I predicted the Bruins would lose to the Beavers up in Corvallis this year. You always hate to see a player miss time for any reason. We definitely wish him and his family the best.
This does increase UCLA's chances of winning this difficult road test, however. Without Stroughter as a receiving target, new quarterback Sean Canfield will have one less weapon to help in the passing game. It also takes some pressure off of Perez to keep the ball out of Sammie's hands on punts. We'll see how things shake out in the first few months, but I think this game might be back in the win column for me.
