BOULDER — Colorado quarterback Owen McCown practiced in a "limited" role Tuesday and Buffaloes coach Mike Sanford said CU's starting quarterback for Saturday's game at Oregon State will "ultimately be a game-time decision."
The Buffs (1-5 overall, 1-2 Pac-12) face the Beavers (5-2, 2-2) in Corvallis in a 6 p.m. game at Reser Stadium to be televised by the Pac-12 Network and broadcast by KOA Radio.
McCown, a true freshman, has started the last three games for Colorado. But he was removed from last Saturday's win over Cal late in the third quarter after taking a couple big hits earlier in the game.
