Colorado Buffaloes

2025

Season Report Posted: September 26, 2014 23:43  

No. 19 SMU 56, CU 33: The Mustangs, apparently still stinging from an upset loss to the Buffaloes in last season's opener, pour it on this time with 380 yards passing by Tim Post. Colorado closes to 49-33 after Anthony Bell gets hot on his way to 551 yards passing, but it's not enough. Brian Perry (six catches) looks good as a freshman starter at WR.

Georgia Tech 45, CU 28: Most notable thing here is that Coach Nibble loses patience with Anthony Bell after four first-half interceptions and subs in David Greene, who does a good job in making the final score look somewhat respectable. Greene is just has a stronger arm and is faster, so this change might stand.

CU 26, No. 6 USC 7: Buffaloes win turnover battle 3 to 1.

CU 49, Kansas 3: David Greene throws three touchdown passes to TE David Brady. The defense holds Kansas to 175 total yards, including minus-15 rushing.

CU 42, Texas Tech 14: DT Chris Washington makes four sacks.

CU 47, Iowa State 30: Greene hits 41 of 53 for 430 and two TDs.

CU 43, No. 23 West Virginia 40, OT: David Murphy hits a 42-yard field goal in the second overtime to win it. David Greene completes 43 of 55 for 490 yards and five touchdowns in the Buffs' fifth straight win.

No. 12 Oklahoma 35, CU 30: David Greene throws four first-half interceptions, putting the Buffaloes into scramble, catch-up mode immediately. Greene throws for 490 with two scores to close it up late.

CU 28, No. 2 Texas 17: Buffs give up 60-yard TD run to QB Travis Layne on the Horns' second play from scrimmage, then shut down Texas the rest of the way. David Greene throws for 440 yards to set the school season record.

Buffs lose the Cotton Bowl to Missouri 31-17, capping a 7-6 season that sees David Greene pass for a school-record 4319 yards and 30 Tds.
