Alabama runs Buffs into the ground winning 41-17
#2 Colorado (10-1) has a B+ offense, an A- defense, and is A overall. They are #5 in pts/gm, #9 in total offense, and #9 in total defense. We have an A offense, an A+ defense, and we're A+ overall. We are #1 in pts/gm, #4 in total offense, and #1 in total defense. The last time we faced the Buffaloes it was a knock down drag out affair in the Superdome where we were lucky to come away with a win. I expect no different in this one.
