Page 4B SPORTS East Oregonian Saturday, October 24, 2015 Battle to Beat the Basement: Colorado visits Oregon State By ANNE M. PETERSON AP Sports Writer CORVALLIS, Ore. — Colorado and Oregon State play on Saturday night with each team hoping to avoid the Pac-12 basement. The two 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. Both sides are looking at this meeting as a “winnable” game. Oregon State is slightly favored at Reser Stadium, but not by much. “I guess if you look at it the way you’re saying, to look at it and everyone is saying, ‘You should win this game, this is a great chance for you, if you don’t win this game uh-oh.’ Which really is just talk, that’s all that is,” Colorado coach Mike Macintyre said this week, responding to a reporter’s question about the dynamic with both teams in similar situations. Colorado (3-4, 0-3) fell 38-31 at Arizona last weekend. It was the team’s third straight loss and was WKH¿UVWRIWKUHHFRQVHFXWLYH games on the road. The Beavers (2-4, 0-3) were coming off a 52-31 loss last weekend at Wash- ington State, the team’s third straight. Oregon State was expected to struggle this season as new coach Gary Andersen installs his new system. The Beavers were picked in the league’s preseason media poll to ¿QLVK ODVW LQ WKH 3DF North, while Colorado was SLFNHGWR¿QLVKDWWKHERWWRP of the South. Andersen said his team keeps learning. “They’re not real happy about the loss, so we’ll FRQWLQXH WR ¿JKW´ KH VDLG “We have to have that edge in this league.

(AP Photo/Don Ryan, file) of this league.” SCRAMBLING SETH: Oregon State quarterback Seth Collins rushed for 124 yards against the Cougars, 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. DEPTH CHART CHANGE: While true freshman Collins is still the Beavers’ undisputed starter, redshirt freshman Nick Mitchell leaped into the backup spot ahead of Marcus McMaryion this week. Like Collins, Mitchell is a dual-threat quarterback. But the Beavers — who ranked 119th nationally in passing offense with 145.5 yards a game — need a boost in the passing game. So Mitchell FRXOG VHH KLV ¿UVW FROOHJH snaps on Saturday. “Seth’s gonna start the game,” Andersen said, “and we’ll see how it goes as we move forward throughout the game.” SPRUCE-ING UP: 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 lean 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. :68$UL]RQDSLWSUROL¿FRIIHQVHVDJDLQVWHDFKRWKHU EOU looks to get over per game set in 1954.

Neither team has been particularly good on defense. Arizona State is 10th in the Pac-12 in total defense and gave up 111 points in consecutive losses to UCLA and Stanford. Washington State is ninth in total defense and allows 29 points per game. In other words, looking down even for a second could lead to missing something as these offenses race from one end zone to the other. A few more things to watch for in Saturday’s game between Washington State and Arizona: ——— BAKER SHINES: Jared Baker has given Arizona some big yards with Wilson nursing a foot injury. The senior ran for a career-high 207 yards and two touchdowns against Colorado last week and has averaged 10 yards per carry the past two games. With Wilson’s foot still bothering him, Baker could get another heavy load of carries against the Cougars. FLYING FALK: Falk put up big numbers even as he was trying to get comfortable as the full- time starter. Now that he’s settled in, the numbers keep growing. Falk had one of the greatest days in Washington State history a week ago, throwing for six touchdowns in the ¿UVWKDOIDQG\DUGVLQ a 52-31 win over Oregon State. The sophomore has completed 89 of 124 passes for 11 touchdowns and 911 yards the past two games. heart-breaking loss at Montana Western Eastern Oregon owns East Oregonian LA GRANDE — After a heartbreaking loss to Montana Western last week, the Eastern Oregon Mountaineers will be trav- eling to Havre, Montana looking to rebound against Montana State-Northern on Saturday. On paper, the Moun- taineers (2-5, 2-4 Frontier Conference) appear to have the upper hand in the match-up, as the MSU-Northern Skylights team is winless in seven games. To make matters worse for the Skylights, their offense averages a measly 7.0 points-per- game while the defense averages an average of 48 points-per-game. a 12-6 all-time record against MSU-Northern, winning the most recent meeting 70-21 on Oct. 25, 2014. On the Mountaineers sideline, seniors Jace Bill- ingsley and Gary Posten continue to lead the team on each side of the ball. Billingsley turned in 93 yards on 22 carries during last week’s loss, and leads the Frontier Conference with 1,397 all-purpose yards. Posten tallied 17 tackles against Montana Western, which earned him the Conference Defensive Player of the Week title for the second time in 2015. Kickoff is set for 12 p.m. at Blue Pony Stadium in Havre.
