Colorado was just bigger, faster, and stronger that Utah State in route to winning 49-30. Utah State only trailed by 4 entering halftime, but they poured in on in he 3rd quarter scoring 21 unanswered points. Utah State tried to mount a comeback late in the 4th scoring 14 unanswered but that damage was done and the deficet was to big.

Coach McGriffle had this to say following the game "We simply got outplayed in the second half today. I'm extremely disappointed with our effort in the 3rd quarter. Lineman not knowing assignments, QB's making mental errors, D-back playing out of position. You name it happened. All I can say is we better show up next week because BYU won't be afraid to put 100 points up there against us."
