Come from behind for 21-20 win over the Bruins

The Siuslaw Vikings saw an early 14-point lead slip away and trailed late in the fourth quarter, but came from behind for a 21-20 Far West League football victory over the Bruins in Brookings.

The win clinched third place in the league for the Vikings who will face the Tigers in Junction City Friday in the “play-in” round of the OSAA playoffs.

College football:

The Colorado Buffaloes snapped a nearly two-year losing streak in the Pac-12 with a 17-13 win Saturday night over the Beavers in Corvallis. The Beavers, at oh-and-four, are the only remaining Pac-12 team without a conference win yet this season. They are two-and-five overall.  Things won’t get any easier this weekend when Oregon State ventures to Salt Lake City where they’ll face the #13 ranked Utah Utes Saturday afternoon.

Oregon had the weekend off… they will travel to Tempe Thursday night for a game against Arizona State.
