Beavers Will Run The Ball
Colorado’s defense is #10 in the Pac-12 at stopping the run. The Buffaloes are allowing 165 yards per game on the ground. Beavers RB Damien Martinez has rushed for 763 yards, which is second overall in the conference.
Martinez went off for 178 yards rushing and three TDs last year against Colorado. Do that math and it doesn’t add up to a positive outcome for the Buffaloes.

Oregon State’s offense features a solid balance between running (279) and passing (231) plays. The Beavers utilize the run to wear down the defense and pull the secondary closer to the line of scrimmage, opening up the field for downfield passes.
Can Buffaloes Protect Sanders?
The coach’s kid is taking a beating and the coach doesn’t like it one bit. No QB in the nation has been sacked more than the 41 times that Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders has been slammed to the field turf. His dad, Colorado coach Deion Sanders, was suggesting this week that it might be time for the Buffaloes to get some new offensive linemen.
Shedeur Sanders has been sacked 41x in 8gms (5.125/GM).
At current pace, Sanders is on track to break the NCAA record for most sacks taken by a QB in a single season.
Pitt’s Tino Sunseri holds the NCAA record of 60 (2011).
Yet he’s still 3rd in Pass Yds w/ 71% Comp Rate 😮💨.

That won’t help this week, though. Oregon State is #3 in the Pac-12 with 26 sacks. UCLA got to Sanders seven times last week and it could be another long, painful Saturday for the Buffaloes QB.
Oregon State vs Colorado Prediction
Last week’s loss to Arizona was the second conference setback for Oregon State, making this a must-win game if the Beavers maintain hopes of reaching the Pac-12 final. Colorado must win two more games to be bowl eligible.
In the last six games in which the favorite was a double-digit choice, the chalk is 2-4 ATS. Sanders is #2 in the nation in passing yards (329.62 yards per game). He’ll make plays in between taking sacks.
Look for Colorado to stay with Oregon State, covering but falling shy of the victory.
