Strong showing not quite enough: Describe Oregon State Beavers' loss in 5 words or less

There was a toughness and fight in the Oregon State Beavers on Saturday that hadn't been seen for a while.

Ryan Nall ran with purpose. Darell Garretson showed poise in delivering some strong throws. The Beavers jumped out to a lead and answered whenever Colorado rallied.

But in the end, the Beavers couldn't come up with the one final response they needed, falling 36-33 to the Buffaloes at Reser Stadium in Corvallis.
