Solomon suffered a concussion in Arizona’s 56-30 loss to UCLA on Sept. 26 after completing four of 10 passes for 55 yards and a touchdown. On the season, the redshirt sophomore has completed 65.2 percent of his passes for 845 yards and 11 touchdowns with zero interceptions.
Solomon’s backup, senior Jerrard Randall, completed 15-of-28 passes for 178 yards and one touchdown while running for 67 yards last Saturday in a 55-17 road loss to Stanford.
Both Solomon and Randall are listed as “questionable” on Arizona’s injury report, which was released Thursday morning. The only other scholarship QB on Arizona’s roster is redshirt freshman Brandon Dawkins.
Arizona got off to a fast start this season, winning their first three games, but has sputtered in Pac-12 play and enters the game losers of two straight. Their opponent, the Beavers, are 2-2 with a 0-1 mark in Pac-12 play. The game will kick off at 1 p.m.
