McKinley’s height/weight of 6’2’’ - 265 lbs do not do justice to describe the freakish athleticism he possess. McKinley has been a backfield terror this season thus far with nine sacks and 16 tackles for loss. The best way to curb McKinley is to let him take himself out of downs through overplaying and getting out of position. Oregon State will have to neutralize his disruption through quick passes, screens, draws, the fly-sweep, and occasionally running directly at him.
OSU QB’s Marcus McMaryion and Conor Blount:
McMaryion is slated to start but I expect to see Blount get at least a few series.
