Last week, the Colorado defense couldn't figure out a way to slow down the Pac-12's top rushing quarterback.

This week, the Buffaloes are trying to figure out how to slow down the Pac-12's No. 2 rushing quarterback.

On Saturday, CU (3-4, 0-3 Pac-12) will visit Oregon State (2-4, 0-3), which is led by true freshman Seth Collins.

"Seth Collins is an excellent runner, a really good athlete and has excellent speed," CU head coach Mike MacIntyre said. "He's an excellent weapon."

So far this season, Collins has been the Pac-12's lowest-rated passer, but he's eighth in the conference with 81.
