"It's agonizing. It harms myself, the group and every one of the mentors, the fans … Our children contended energetically. I love the way that they had no stopped in them. They energized toward the end and gave an amazing exertion. We simply want to do that amidst the game — the first, second, third, and fourth quarters with consistency. Also, we haven't tracked down that degree of consistency at this point and that's genuinely demoralizing."

HOW IT Worked out: Colorado's guard kept the Buffs in the game in the main half, gathering a couple of focus points — bungle recuperations by Trevor Woods and Derrick McLendon — and three quarterback sacks.

Then, at that point, they get a gigantic return and that injured. Had we not done that the score would have been 7-3."

The Beavers then took full control on their most memorable ownership of the last part. Subsequent to constraining a CU dropkick, Oregon State drove 85 yards in 12 plays for a score, utilizing 7:26 on the clock however one more sketchy training choice, this time from Oregon State, quickly changed the energy of the game.
