Despite taking the ‘W’, Oregon State had a great showing in the Civil War on Saturday, closing the gap to three a couple of times late in the second half. They exploited Oregon’s weak defense to great effect. With quarterback Nick Mitchell having announced his transfer, next year’s offensive picture is beginning to take shape behind Seth Collins.
The Buffs fell six points shy of upsetting Utah in their ‘rivalry’ game, which would have given them two conference wins on the season. Keep in mind that five of their losses came by a score or less; Colorado was 28 points shy of being 9-4.
