Last week’s contest in Eugene stuck to the script the season for the Buffaloes. The 23-point loss to No. 4 Oregon puts CU’s on the brink of elimination from postseason play with a month left in the 2021 season. On the other hand, this week’s opponent, Oregon State, can become bowl eligible with a win for the first time in eight years.
After being on the road for two weeks, the Buffs (2-6, 1-5 Pac-12) return to the friendly atmosphere of Folsom Field for a meeting with OSU. The history between both teams has been close over the past decade with Colorado taking three of the previous four, but none of those contests have come in the previous three years.
