The Colorado Buffaloes enter this week with their toughest conference matchup of the season, taking on the No. 7 Oregon Ducks. As the Buffs sit at 11th place in the Pac-12 Conference with a 2-5 record, the Ducks are the highest-ranked team. Oregon is has a record of 6-1 (3-1 Pac-12) and has had more than an impressive season.
For a team poised to have a bright future, things are looking reasonably dark in Boulder. Head coach Karl Dorrell started the week off by letting go of offensive line coach Mitch Rodrigue. A personnel change, better late than never, was expected to occur sooner in the season, so this was no surprise to many Buff fans.
