Oregon St. listing QB Atkinson as doubtful for showdown with Boise State
Oregon State is listing starting quarterback Braden Atkinson as doubtful for Saturday's showdown at No. 24 Boise State, according to the initial Pac-12 availability report released Wednesday night.
Maddux Madsen, the starting QB for the Broncos, is listed as questionable.
Atkinson, a sophomore, leads the nation in passing yards (3,169) and total offense (351.3) for coach JaMarcus Shephard. He is also No. 4 in touchdown passes (25), while throwing only three interceptions.
Atkinson has been dealing with a hand injury sustained in Oregon State's 42-21 loss to Texas State last weekend. Senior Maalik Murphy replaced him, completing 5 of 7 passes for 75 yards with an interception.
