Colorado inches past their rivals CSU in the Rocky Mountain Showdown at Mile High Stadium. Colorado took an early lead but a late surge before halftime saw CSU tie the game in the 3rd quarter.
Both teams had their fair share of mishaps, an interception at the goalline by Sefo Liufau and 3 INTs from CSU QB Nick Stevens.
The highlight of the game was when Liufau found Bryce Bobo on a deep ball to the end zone late in the 2nd quarter. The pass was put in a spot only Bobo could reach and with a diving catch he secured the 30-yard touchdown!
As was expected, OLB Deonte Clyburn for CSU had a monster game, racking up 4 tackles, 2 for a loss, and a sack. A surprising player was HB Dalyn Dawkins who rushed for 93 yards on 18 carries, leading to a 5 yard average. His consistency in the run and pass game kept Colarado reeling all game.
