Now that the decision has been made to play receiver James Rodgers, the Oregon State coaching staff now must figure out how to play him. Coach Mike Riley said that the plan is to ease him in slowly, alternating him with fellow receiver Brandin Cooks.
Riley said that Rodgers has looked good in practice, "real fast." The Beavers may want to get him used to the speed again, but you can bet he's going to get some balls thrown to him by an offense looking for something that resembles a big play.
