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.
