Sean Mannion - QB - Beavers

Oregon State sophomore QB Sean Mannion and junior QB Cody Vaz split first-team reps as the school started practicing for their bowl game.

Head coach Mike Riley will not make a decision on who will start the Alamo Bowl against Texas for some time. The Beavers quarterback situation has flipped back and forth between these two, but Mannion ended the season as the starter. 11 of his 13 interceptions occurred in only three games.

Sean Mannion - QB - Beavers

Oregon State sophomore Sean Mannion will start against Oregon Saturday, head coach Mike Riley announced.

This will be Mannion's second consecutive start after losing the job due to a knee injury, then being benched for a four interception game upon his return. Junior Cody Vaz remains sidelined, and hopefully Mannion can finish this season on a roll that continues into next year.

Sean Mannion - QB - Beavers

Oregon State sophomore Sean Mannion has been named the starting QB for Saturday's game against Cal.

The starter in recent weeks, junior Cody Vaz, injured his left ankle last weekend. Mannion opened the season on a hot streak until minor knee surgery sidelined him. Upon his return, the sophomore threw four interceptions and was quickly benched. We believe he was rushed back too quickly the first time, and he should be fully healthy now.

Sean Mannion - QB - Beavers

Oregon State sophomore QB Sean Mannion opened Monday's practice with the backups, while Cody Vaz ran with the starters.

Mannion delivered his first poor performance of the season against Washington, throwing four interceptions. However, it was his first start after coming off exploratory knee surgery, so at least an excuse can be cited. Prior to that, Mannion had been on a tear, but the Beavers may have felt they rushed him back from injury.

Sean Mannion - QB - Beavers

Oregon State sophomore QB Sean Mannion completed 18-of-34 attempts for 221 yards, one touchdown, and four interceptions Saturday against Washington.

This was Mannion's first game back as a starter from exploratory knee surgery, and he certainly did not look the same. Too many of his passes were off target, specifically underthrown vertically or behind his receiver moving across the field. Expect a bounce back, but Mannion was a key part of the Beavers first loss of the season.

Sean Mannion - QB - Beavers

Oregon State sophomore QB Sean Mannion was designated as the starter for Saturday's game against Washington after being cleared to practice fully Monday.

Mannion missed last weekend's game against Utah after undergoing surgery on his left knee just two weeks ago. Junior Cody Vaz filled in admirably for Mannion and led the Beavers to a win, but the latter was on a roll prior to the injury. Senior receiver Markus Wheaton continues to produce regardless of who is throwing the football, but his connection on the field with Mannion is special.

Sean Mannion - QB - Beavers

Oregon State sophomore QB Sean Mannion will dress for Saturday's game against Utah but may not play.

Mannion had surgery on his left knee just under two weeks ago, but because of the quick recovery time many that follow the team have suggested it was only exploratory. "I don’t let anybody dress down that can’t play in the games," head coach Mike Riley said. If Mannion stays on the sideline, junior Cody Vaz will get the start, just as he did last week against BYU.

Sean Mannion - QB - Beavers

Oregon State sophomore QB Sean Mannion has already returned to practice following surgery on his left knee.

The surgery took place just one week ago, and one local writer suggests that the surgery may have been exploratory rather than to actually fix an issue. The sophomore was on a roll prior to the injury and is already facing scout team defenses in practice.

Sean Mannion - QB - Beavers

Oregon State sophomore QB Sean Mannion underwent successful left knee surgery on Wednesday and his timetable to return is two to four weeks.

The surgery was to repair a damaged meniscus and he will be considered week-to-week upon his return. The sophomore was on a tear prior to the injury, but it appears he will return to the field fairly soon compared to other players that go under the knife in-season.

Updating a previous item, Oregon State sophomore QB Sean Mannion's left knee injury is officially a torn meniscus.

The surgery is expected to take place on Wednesday. Afterward, Mannion will be listed as week-to-week, although we expect him to miss a significant amount of time. Junior Cody Vaz will start in Mannion's place.

Sean Mannion - QB - Beavers

Oregon State sophomore QB Sean Mannion is out for an undisclosed amount of time after undergoing surgery on his injured knee.

Mannion has been on an absolute tear this season, so hopefully the surgery is not of the season ending variety. The sophomore is one of the more accurate young passers in the country and consistently takes chances down the field. Senior receiver Markus Wheaton's numbers may drop in his absence.

Sean Mannion - QB - Beavers

Oregon State sophomore QB Sean Mannion dominated UCLA Saturday, completing 24-of-35 passes for 379 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

Mannion's 10.8 yards per attempt average was excellent, especially against a UCLA defense that has multiple prospects and had played well thus far in the season. It was a career performance for the sophomore who benefited from some yards after the catch and placed some nice balls over top of the safeties.

Coach Mike Riley names Sean Mannion a captain for 2012.

History of sorts was made in Corvallis with the appointment of Mannion as a team captain. The quarterback became the first sophomore in program history to be so honored. Mannion threw for 3,328 yards and 16/18 as a redshirt freshman in 2011.

Sean Mannion - QB - Beavers

As the unquestioned starting quarterback in Corvallis, Sean Mannion can focus on improving his game and being a leader.

Mannion took over for popular Ryan Katz (transferred to San Diego State) early last season in what was a difficult and bowl-less year for the Beavers. As a redshirt freshman, he completed 64.5 percent of his passes for 3,328 yards, third-most in school history. The downside were 18 interceptions that made for an uneven season, something that is not uncommon for a young QB thrown into the fire. Mannion understands he needs to cut down on the turnovers, which is one of the areas he is working on this spring.
