COLORADO (3-4, 0-3) AT
OREGON STATE (2-4, 0-3)
7:30 p.m., Pac-12 Networks
Pointspread: Pick ’em
— The two teams are the last remaining teams without a win in league play. The Buffaloes have a streak of 14 straight Pac-12 losses dating back to September 2012 when they edged Washington State 35-34.
— Oregon State quarterback Seth Collins rushed for 124 yards against the Cougars last week, his third game with more than 100 yards rushing this season. He’s averaging 81 yards a game, which ranks him eighth overall for rushing in the Pac-12. And he’s on pace to rush for 972 yards this season, just shy of the Pac-12 record of 986 set by Jake Locker of Washington in 2007.
— Colorado senior receiver Nelson Spruce already holds school career records with 250 catches for 2,797 yards. He’s also running up the Pac-12 career receptions list, and now ranks fourth all-time after passing Troy Walkers – now his position coach – who had 248 at Stanford in the late 1990s. The Buffaloes will likely rely heavily on Spruce in the absence of Shay Fields, who leads the team with 504 recieving yards, because of a high-ankle sprain he sustained on a late touchdown against Arizona.
— To become postseason eligible for the first time since 2007, the Buffaloes have to win four of their final six, which includes games at UCLA and Utah.
