After last seasons quarterback carousel at Oregon State, Darell Garretson heads into this season as the established starter.Garretson sat out last season under NCAA rules after transferring from Utah State. For the Aggies in 2014, he threw for 1,140 yards and eight touchdowns in five games when starter Chuckie Keeton was injured. Garretson himself missed seven games that season with a wrist injury.Garretson emerged in the Beavers spring game and coach Gary Andersen didnt waste time, naming him as starter shortly thereafter.On the field, I think he handled spring well. Hes progressed. How good a Pac-12 quarterback is he going to be? Well see. Were not real interested in talking about a lot of things, were interested in getting out and executing and moving forward, Andersen said.Garretson said he felt the year off learning the system was beneficial.Seth Collins, Nick Mitchell and Marcus McMaryion all saw time at starter for the Beavers, who went 2-10 last season in Andersens first with the team.Mitchell has since transferred. Collins announced that he was leaving, too, but then returned to Oregon State. McMaryion remains, and looks to be Garretsons backup heading into the season.COLLINS RETURN: Collins started at quarterback in seven games last season as a freshman but was hampered by injury. In the season-ending Civil War, he lined up at quarterback, receiver and running back.Collins announced after the season that he intended to transfer but he remained enrolled at Oregon State. This spring, Andersen said Collins was taking steps to rejoin the team. Hes listed at receiver for the Beavers, although Andersen said he could fill a variety of roles.Hes done a great job. When he came back, it was -- he was very excited to get back into the mix. He went through the procedures that we laid out for him as a team to get him back into the mainstream. He accomplished those goals very quickly, in a timely manner, Andersen said.SPEAKING OF CHUCKIE KEATON: Andersen has named Keaton to his coaching staff, along with former Aggies offensive lineman Funaki Asisi. But theyre not the only newcomers. Oregon States new defensive coordinator is Kevin Clune, while the new co-offensive coordinators are Kevin McGiven and T.J. Woods.RECEIVERS: Face it, much of Garretsons success is going to depend on his receivers.Jordan Villamin led the Beavers last season with 660 yards receiving and five touchdowns. Victor Bolden, now a senior, caught 46 passes for 461 yards and three touchdowns while also spending time on special teams, where he was Oregon States go-to on kick returns with 580 yards and a score.Bolden will fill a similar role this season.I believe he will be a difference-maker in this league. He holds himself at a high regard of being a tremendous player within our league, and hopefully elite within the country, and thats his expectations if we can get him the ball the right way, he should do some fantastic things, Andersen said.BIG REMODEL: This season will debut a $42 million remodel of the Valley Football Center and the north end of Reser Stadium. The Victory Through Valley campaign expanded the locker rooms and other player and coach facilities, and created a new fan area called the Terrace which will highlight local food and drink.BEND VISIT: Because of the construction project, Oregon State moved the start of fall practice off campus for the first time ever to the central Oregon city of Bend, about 125 miles southeast of Corvallis. The Beavers had to get permission from the NCAA to hold the first six days of fall practice at Summit High School before returning to campus on Aug. 11.SEASON OPENER: The Beavers open at Minnesota on Sept. 1.PREDICTION: The Beavers were picked to finish last in the Pac-12 North in the conferences preseason poll.

Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca! Hey Kerry, would love to hear your explanation that distinguishes Andrew Shaws goalie interference in Game 3 (not enough to warrant a penalty, just enough to erase the goal?) from the entire body of work of Tomas Holmstroms career scoring goals in the blue paint. Not to mention the nudge Shaw gets from the Detroit defenceman and he still doesnt even contact Howard!?! That was a real momentum swinger in the game. How do you see it? Campbell Mayer Kerry, Was the disallowed Blackhawks goal that would have tied the game the right call or do you see it more as a makeup call for blowing a possible boarding call on the Patrick Kane goal? Thanks man. Keep it up! Ryan Morrill Campbell and Ryan: The Referees decision to disallow Andrew Shaws goal could be supported under the "letter of the law/rule"! As I looked at this play (video link), the only contact between Jimmy Howard and Shaw was initiated by the Wings goalkeeper when he chopped at Shaws skates a couple of times once the Hawk ventured into the top of the blue paint and in advance of the shot on goal. It is also true that there was minor contact between Shaw and the Detroit defenceman as the two players entered the goal crease. It might be worth noting that the Detroit defenceman sealed off any backdoor exit potential for Shaw if the Hawk considered this as an option; which is likely a reach for us to consider but none the less remotely plausible. Since no contact was initiated or resulted from Andrew Shaw on Jimmy Howard, the single thread under which goalie interference could be determined (again the letter of the rule) is found in 69.3—If an attacking player establishes a significant position within the goal crease, so as to obstruct the goalkeepers vision and impairs his ability to defend his goal, and a goal is scored, the goal will be disallowed. For this purpose, a player "establishes a significant position within the crease" when, in the Referees judgment, his body, or a substantial portion thereof, is with the goal crease for more than an instantaneous period of time. I dont really believe that Jimmy Howards vision was obstructed but it could be said that Andrew Shaw did establish a significant position within the crease. SSince you mentioned Tomas Holmstrom, once he was flagged and put on the Refs radar screen, I have seen more than one goal disallowed when Tomas had his skates clearly outside the blue paint but established a significant portion of his rear end inside the crease and stuck in the face of the goalkeeper! Those calls surprised me at the time they were made.dddddddddddd I felt they were an overreaction to the spirit and intent of the interference on the goalkeeper rule. I was likewise surprised by the decision last night to disallow Andrew Shaws goal last night when Jimmy Howard made the initial save and the rebound deflected off Shaw and into the net. I wont speculate as to whether the Referee was still thinking about a potential boarding call against Niklas Hjalmarsson nor whether the whistle could possibly have been blown prior to Patrick Kanes goal as Johan Franzen lay on the ice in a heap in the Chicago end zone until well after Kanes goal. Those potential questions could only be answered in the private thought process of the Referee. What I will offer is that when Niklas Hjalmarsson struck Johan Franzen directly on the numbers of his back from close proximity to the end boards, a boarding infraction occurred. Since Franzen was able to put his hands up as protection against a full face-plant into the boards only a minor penalty for boarding was deserved. This series is certainly turning nasty. Several battles in front of and behind the net resulted in hard slashes, cross-checks and punches to the head between combatants. Sometimes unsportsmanlike conduct penalties even resulted. Holding on the other hand was always called whenever a player used his free-hand to gain an advantage or momentarily detain his opponent! I cite the last game played in the San Jose—Los Angeles series as one that was very well officiated. The game had great intensity throughout with hard hits being allowed throughout and a consistent standard of enforcement was adopted. The players were allowed to play on the edge throughout the entire game but when infractions occurred there was no reluctance to call them. The two penalties called in the dying minutes of regulation with the score tied were "must call" infractions that were not avoid by the Referee. That standard, my friends, is the model that I hope all the Refs will follow throughout the balance of these playoffs. ' ' '
