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.

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.
