2004 – Game Eleven – Colorado v. Nebraska – November 26, 2004

November 26, 2004 – @ Nebraska Colorado 26, Nebraska 20

Senior running back Bobby Purify ran for 130 yards and a touchdown as Colorado stayed alive in the Big 12 title hunt with a 26-20 win over Nebraska in Lincoln. As much the story of the day, though, as Colorado’s third straight win, was the loss which sent the 5-6 Cornhuskers to its first losing season in 43 years.

The Buffs, who have a long history of having the Cornhuskers jump out on top, set the tone early. Nebraska recovered an onsides kick to start the game (try and remember the last time the Cornhuskers felt the need to do that!), but could not move the ball, punting after three plays. Taking over at their own ten-yard line, the Buffs moved 90 yards in 14 plays, with Joel Klatt hitting sophomore wide receiver Blake Mackey for a six-yard touchdown. A Mason Crosby 37-yard field goal and a nine-yard Bobby Purify scoring run pushed the Colorado advantage to 17-0 early in the second quarter.

The Buffs allowed only a late fourth-quarter touchdown to a team which had torched the Sooners for 37 points in Norman a week earlier. In moving to 2-0 in Big 12 play, the Buffs made a statement. “I felt like we dominated them all around,” said CU redshirt-freshman defensive tackle Brandon Dabdoub. “I think we showed the Big 12 and the whole country we’re for real.”

The Buffs’ defense limited the Wildcat offense to just 196 total yards. K-State quarterback Eli Roberson, who passed for 257 yards against Oklahoma, hit just 10 of 29 passes for 107 yards and two interceptions. He was also sacked six times by the Buffs, including two sacks each by sophomore defensive end Matt McChesney and junior defensive end Tyler Brayton.

But the Buffs’ offense was merely adequate against the K-State defense, which entered the game ranked eighth nationally. Quarterback Craig Ochs connected with tight end Daniel…
