Utes Limp Out of Boulder
Hostility abounds in Boulder as Colorado knocks of rival Utah 31-17. A back and forth affair in the first half as Utah held a 17-10 advantage AND received the opening kickoff of the 2nd half. However, Colorado's defense was the story of the 2nd half as they shut out the Utes and forced QB Troy Williams into making poor throws constantly.
With how many sacks there were (13 total) one would've thought it would be a low-scoring affair. However, due to the impressive escapability of Sefo Liufau the Buffaloes were able to extend plays for 15+ yard gains after the defense broke down.
Sean Irwin came up big, with 106 yards on 10 receptions. All in all, the Buffaloes were able to come away with a big win because their offense was able to break through the stout Utah defense.
