UCLA football: Safety Tony Dye to sit out Oregon State game

UCLA free safety Tony Dye (pictured at right) will not start and is not expected to play against Oregon State on Saturday because of a shoulder injury.

Rick Neuheisel said Thursday that Dye was “50-50” due to a “nerve issue.” Dye was injured against San Jose State on Sept. 10, but played last week against Texas. He did not practice this week.

Dye, a team captain, has started 28 consecutive games. Tevin McDonald will start in Dye’s place.
