Bizarre ending to Oregon State-Colorado. CU had 1 timeout left, and could have called it with 0:42 left on 3rd & 11, but let the clock run down to 0:02 and *then* called the completely pointless timeout before a final kneel. Beavs win 26-19.🤷
Tough past few weeks for Colorado 😔 Buffaloes fall to Oregon State 26-19. https://t.co/MLB1rRiGV2
After cutting Oregon State's lead to 26-19, Colorado kicks deep with 1:42 to go. Buffs have all three timeouts, but a first down effectively ends it.
It seems that moving at a more brisk tempo is making Colorado's offense more effective. The Buffs just scored again. Oregon State now up 26-19 with 1:42 remaining.
Colorado’s offense has come alive in the fourth quarter. Buffs within a score and have three timeouts with 1:42 to play.
22 yard FG by Atticus Sappington puts Oregon State up 23-5 with 13:57 left in the game.
Deion Sanders decided mid-week to demote Sean Lewis and change offensive coordinators. Going into the final quarter against Oregon State, the Buffs are now doing worse offensively than both Iowa and Northwestern. https://t.co/oLTso2zc2s
END 3: Oregon State 20, Colorado 5. Beavers first and goal at the 8 when game resumes.

A two-point conversion attempt ... returned for a safety? Colorado vs. No. 16 Oregon State is getting weird. The Buffaloes trail 20-5. 🎥 @CFBONFOX https://t.co/mfM5s7icEd
Oregon State scored on a 12-play, 85-yard drive but Kyndrich Breedlove goes 88 yards on a return so the Beavers still only lead by two scores (20-5, with 3:53 left in the third quarter). #CUBuffs offense will get the ball back looking to build on its 83 yard performance.
Bad snap on Oregon State two-point conversion attempt turns into a 2-point play the other way. Oregon State leads Colorado 20-5.
Unbelievable. Bad snap and Colorado returns the 2 point fumble for a 2 pointer of its own. OSU 20, Colorado 5
#CUBuffs offense at least gains 31 yards on its opening drive of the second half... but forced to punt.
Deion Sanders bungled the end of the half about as badly as you can, gifting Oregon State time for a touchdown. OSU leads 14-3, as the play caller switch at Colorado has led to 52 first half yards. Prime blamed himself for not running out the clock to @Kay_Breezy22 at halftime.
#CUBuffs averaged just 1.7 yards per play in the first half. And poor clock management late took away from a solid first half performance by the #Buffs defense. Oregon State 14, CU 3. Team stats --> https://t.co/1LOl7rRyJH
Things have taken a turn in Boulder, where the Buffs are getting booed as they head to halftime trailing 14-3. With a new offensive play caller, CU mustered 53 yards of offense in the first half.
A wild 40 seconds in Boulder as Oregon State: ◽️ opts to quick kick ◽️ pins CU at the 4 ◽️ gives up zero yards to force a punt ◽️ gets a big return ◽️ scores to take a 14-3 lead into halftime
Halftime: No. 16 Oregon State 14, Colorado 3. Horrible half for the #cubuffs offense, but the defense was really good for the most part. They're keeping CU in the game for the 2nd week in a row.
Poor time management by the #CUBuffs at the end of the first half and the #Beavers take advantage with a 20 yard TD pass from D.J. Uiagalelei to Deshaun Fenwick to go up 14-3.
Oregon State takes advantage of Colorado's stupidity, as Uiagalelei throws a 20-yard TD pass to Deshaun Fenwick with 16 seconds left in the half. Oregon State 14, Colorado 3
Colorado has 52 TOTAL YDS in the first half against Oregon State 😬 https://t.co/evSt5WtKDv
Oregon State's Anthony Gould with a punt return to the CU 25 and a 5-yard penalty tacked on. OSU starts at the CU 20 with 22 seconds left in the half.
From the 4, the Buffs go incomplete, drop, 0-yard run and take 13 seconds off the clock. Oregon State will get the ball back before the half in good field position. Unbelievable how bad this offense has been tonight. Flashbacks to 2022! #cubuffs
LaVonta Bentley sacks Uiagalelei and sets up 3rd-and-14. Beavers at the CU 39 with 1:01 left in the half. #cubuffs
Buffs unable to cash in with a touchdown, but Alejandro Mata hits a 32-yard FG to get Colorado on the board. Oregon State 7, Colorado 3, 7:35 to go in the 2nd #cubuffs
#CUBuffs first chance at a big play on offense ends up with Anthony Hankerson tripping on the turf and the #Buffs are once again forced to punt the ball.

Aidan Chiles scrambles 23 yards into the end zone, capping off a 9-play, 71-yard drive, to give Oregon State a 7-0 lead late in the first quarter.
Chiles 23 yard TD run. Oregon State 7, Colorado 0, 1:26 1Q Good looking drive led by Martinez and Chiles' legs. Oregon State is intentionally running the ball tonight, as I expected.
Chiles scrambles and scores on a 23-yard TD run for Oregon State #cubuffs
Buffs get to the Oregon State 44 but stall and will punt #cubuffs
That’s a touchdown! Oregon had a weird first quarter … and is winning 63-19 with 2 minutes left. Well done guys.
With six seconds left in the half, Bo Nix found Troy Franklin from seven yards out for a touchdown. Oregon goes into halftime leading Cal by 22. https://t.co/UgsORjOXAo
