Somehow this was just about the least compelling Pac-12 game of the day...

Oregon State needed turnovers to get ahead in this one; Colorado was incredibly efficient (anything over a 50% success rate is quite good), especially on the ground -- Michael Adkins and Phillip Lindsay had 18 carries for 108 yards. But while they were really good at carving out five to six yards at a time, the successful plays weren't huge, and Oregon State was able to prevent seven of 12 possessions from becoming scoring opportunities. (That's a good thing, as Colorado cashed in on almost every opportunity.)
