Oregon was blown out so badly against Utah over the weekend, they were bumped out of the AP Top-25. That’s what we intend on doing.

After opening with a 28-20 loss at Hawaii, Colorado has defeated Massachusetts, Colorado State and Nicholls. Kick off is set for 7 p.m. (PST) at Folsom Stadium in Boulder. “They have been the class of the Pac-12 for a while, them and Stanford“.
Right now it seems Adams is nowhere near the safe running threat to keep defenses at home and Lockie is nowhere near the passer and decision maker needed to make defenses not sell out to the run.
The Colorado Buffaloes host the Oregon Ducks for another installment of #Pac12AfterDark being nationally televised on ESPN this Saturday, October 3rd.
MacIntyre is 1-17 in conference games, but the Buffs believe they’re ready to start turning that around. We’ll see a true identity emerge from the work that new defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt and secondary coach Joe Tumpkin accomplished during the off season. Players such as Patrick Chung, Jairus Bryd, and Walter Thurmond just do not exist on the current roster. Defensively Colorado should be overmatched and the game will come down to the Ducks’ ability to execute their game plan with fluidity and confidence.
“We have a lot of young guys”, Coleman says.
“I think it is the same thing every week, we fumble a kickoff and we can’t get out of the shadow of our goal posts”, Rebowe said.
Colorado’s next victory will match its most since 2010.
“Pain is temporary. You’ll have a couple of bruises, but you want to go out there and win, and those wins and losses will stick with you a lot longer than the bruises that you have”. Nelson Spruce and Shay Fields have combined for 478 receiving yards and two touchdowns while Devin Ross has six receptions.
Although it was down to the fourth-string quarterback in 2007, Oregon used the time off in between the Civil War and the Sun Bowl to groom Roper into a serviceable quarterback for that one game.
The Buffs are pleased that Liufau is limiting his mistakes. Crazier things have happened; the Ducks’ defense can turn it around. Ken Crawley leads the Buffaloes with 22 tackles, Jered Bell has two interceptions and Chidobe Awuzie has three pass deflections. He became the first Buff to have two interceptions in a game since 2013.
Colorado is 0-5 SU in its last 5 games when playing Oregon.
Good teams tend to obliterate and/or shut out bad teams. It’s hard to shut anybody out, it really is. He played other games in Big Sky Conference towns where the elevation was above 4,000 feet. Lockie led Oregon on a 52-yard scoring drive capped by a 6-yard score from senior Bralon Addison.
This has the makings of a shootout as the Oregon Ducks (2-2) play the Colorado Buffaloes (3-1).
Scouting the passing game: Sefo Liufau battled a shoulder injury to complete 13-of-21 passes for 227 yards and one touchdown in the win over Nicholls.
The 2014 Heisman Trophy victor was selected second overall in this year’s National Football League draft, ending the amateur career of the most prolific quarterback in the school’s history. Eight different Colorado receivers caught a pass as the Buffaloes threw for 278 yards. They’re averaging 272 yards rushing and another 205 through the air. Colorado registered its first shutout since 2009.
Colorado is 3-9 SU in its last 12 games.
Figaro was also sacked twice and he felt pressure when he dropped back to pass. This is not the same Oregon team … obviously. Since that 2007 season, the Civil War against Oregon State is no longer automatic.
