After seven games, Oregon State ranks 123rd among the 128 FCS teams while averaging 146 passing yards per game.
The Beavers (2-4, 1-2 in Pac-12) will face a tall task improving their passing game this week considering their starting quarterback Darell Garretson is out for the season after breaking his ankle last Saturday and backup Conor Blount (knee) is unavailable.
OSU will start third-string QB Marcus McMaryion on Saturday at Husky Stadium against No. 5 Washington. The sophomore has played in nine games and started once last year. The Beavers had hoped to redshirt true freshman Mason Moran, but he’s been elevated to the backup behind McMaryion.
