The Buffs got their offense rolling shortly thereafter, but it was too late at that point. Much of the discrepancies in plays and time of possession can be attributed to the first two drives of the second half, that combined for 20 plays, 11:26 off the clock, and extended the lead to 18. That gameplan combined with a Beaver pass rush that made life miserable for Shedeur Sanders and the Colorado offense allowed the Beavers to control the ball for a season-high 35:58 and run 76 offensive plays to only 60 on defense. Oregon State found a re-commitment to the running game on Saturday, racking up a season-high 46 rushing attempts that were only blemished by two first half fumbles.
