Oregon State coach upset with USC offensive linemen
By Jack Crosby
The Oregon State Beavers suffered a rather convincing loss last weekend against the USC Trojans. However, they lost more than just the game, as there were two significant injuries that came out of this one. Defensive linemen Jalen Grimble and Noke Tago both left the game with knee injuries suffered on cut blocks. Grimble will be out a month, while Tago is done for the rest of the season.

Whenever injuries involve cut blocks, there tends to be someone that’s upset. This situation is no different.
Oregon State defensive coordinator Mark Banker seemed none too pleased with what happened when speaking to the media about the injuries recently, and of course, questioned whether or not the acts were intentional.
“You don’t know if it was done on purpose or not,” Banker told The Oregonian, “but I just think the technique was questionable.”
He once again reiterated that he hoped it was not done intentionally.
“Now whether they changed to help themselves out, I don’t know,” Banker told the newspaper. “I just hope it wasn’t intended to be an injury.”
You always hate to see situations like this, and you can see sometimes why so many people want this particular blocking technique banned from the game altogether.
