Oregon State coach Mike Riley told reporters Sunday that quarterback Lyle Moevao's shoulder is sore but he hasn't been ruled out of Saturday's game at UCLA.
Moevao was knocked out of the Arizona State game early in the second quarter. Backup Sean Canfield came on and led the Beavers to a 27-25 victory, completing 19 of 28 passes for 218 yards and two touchdowns. Most important: He didn't allow a pick-six he threw just after halftime to Sun Devils safety Troy Nolan crush his confidence.
Canfield has missed much of the season with a shoulder injury that ended his expected competition with Moevao for the starting job. He started the first nine games last year.
