Three takeaways from Colorado's loss to No. 16 Oregon State

The Colorado Buffaloes had a tough 26-19 loss to 16th-ranked Oregon State, marking their third consecutive loss.

They are aiming to win two out of their final three games to make it to the postseason.

The Buffs' quarterback played through injuries, taking hits throughout the game, which raised questions about player safety.

Colorado's offensive line needs to do a better job protecting their quarterback to prevent sacks.

Coach Deion Sanders made a significant change by giving play-calling duties to Pat Shurmur, a former NFL coach.

The offensive performance with Shurmur calling plays didn't match earlier games, and there were issues with time management.

It's suggested that Coach Prime should consider expanding and strengthening his coaching staff with experienced football minds.

Potential hires like Byron Leftwich, Warren Sapp, and Ed Orgeron are mentioned to improve the team's coaching.

The Buffaloes will face No. 23 Arizona in their next game, with a goal to bounce back from their recent losses.

The upcoming game against Arizona will be broadcast on the Pac-12 Network at 2 p.m. ET.
