BOULDER — Colorado's Pac-12 stretch run doesn't get any easier this week.
Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders' Buffaloes face their second top 25 team in a row Saturday when they play host to No. 16 Oregon State in an 8 p.m. game at Folsom Field (ESPN).
The Buffs (4-4 overall, 1-4 Pac-12) need a win to halt a two-game losing streak while the Beavers (6-2, 3-2) are aiming to get back on the right track after dropping a 27-24 decision to Arizona last week.
Colorado's recent slide — the Buffs have lost four of their last five — is the result of a variety of issues, but tops on the list is CU's struggles on the offensive line.
