The Oregon State Beavers have pulled off a major upset against the Colorado Buffaloes, winning 26-19 in a thrilling game. The Beavers defense was the star of the show, holding the Buffaloes’ star quarterback Shedeur Sanders to limited production.
Sanders, the son of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, entered the game with high expectations after leading Colorado to a 4-0 start. However, the Beavers defense was able to contain him, limiting him to just 15-of-31 passing for 165 yards and an interception. He was also sacked three times and held to just six yards rushing.
The Beavers offense was also able to take advantage of the Buffaloes’ defense, with quarterback Tristan Gebbia throwing for 229 yards and two touchdowns. Running back Jermar Jefferson added another 73 yards on the ground and a touchdown.
The Beavers defense was the real story of the game, however, as they held the Buffaloes to just 19 points. They also forced two turnovers and had four sacks in the game. It was a complete team effort from Oregon State, who now move to 2-2 on the season.
This was a huge win for Oregon State, who had been struggling in their first three games. It was also a big statement win for their defense, which has been criticized for its lack of production in recent weeks. The Beavers will now look to build on this win as they take on the Washington Huskies next week.
