Missouri – Kory Mossini: “That’s the fastest I have ever crawled”

//posted 11.9.2002

November 9th - @ Missouri No. 18 Colorado 42, Missouri 35 OT

The Colorado Buffaloes kept their Big 12 destiny in their own hands, but just barely, defeating Missouri in overtime, 42-35.

Chris Brown scored his third touchdown of the game from a yard out in the Buffs’ possession in overtime, with Missouri’s overtime possession ending in a fumble recovery by Colorado linebacker Kory Mossini. The win over the Tigers left the Buffs (7-3, 5-1 in conference play) one win away from capturing a second consecutive Big 12 North title.

Colorado opened up a comfortable 27-7 lead early in the third quarter, scoring on its first five possessions of the game. Quarterback Robert Hodge hit Derek McCoy for a 47-yard score just 3:17 into the contest. A 45-yard field goal by Pat Brougham gave the Buffs a 10-0 cushion late in the first quarter. After Zach Abron scored on a 30-yard run for Missouri to cut the Colorado advantage to 10-7, the Buffs scored the next 17 points of the game. Chris Brown scored from 10 yards out, Pat Brougham kicked another field goal, and Robert Hodge snuck in from the one to give the Buffs a 27-7 lead early in…

No. 2 Oklahoma – D-fiant in Norman

November 2nd - @ Oklahoma No. 2 Oklahoma 27, No. 13 Colorado 11

Despite allowing Chris Brown to become the first runner to post a 100-yard game against them since 1999, the Oklahoma defense made a strong showing in leading the No. 2 Oklahoma Sooners to a 27-11 win over Colorado in Norman. The Sooners’ defense forced four Colorado turnovers in giving its offense a short field. Quarterback Nate Hybl threw three touchdown passes, with the touchdown drives covering just 39, 24, and nine yards.

“Our defense played very well,” lamented Gary Barnett. “Look at the position they were in time after time after time.”

In the first half, Colorado lost two fumbles, had a pass intercepted, muffed a pooch kickoff and had a field goal attempt blocked. The Colorado miscues allowed Oklahoma to build a 20-3 halftime lead, but it could have been much worse. The Sooners missed two field goal attempts themselves, and settled for field goals on two other possessions deep in Colorado territory. “You could see (our offense) out there choking,” wide receiver John Donahoe said. “When you start out like we did, there’s only one way to go. Our defense played great all…

October 26th - Boulder #21 Colorado 37, Texas Tech 13

Texas Tech quarterback Kliff Kingsbury came to Boulder as the nation’s leader in pass completions, attempts, yards passing and touchdowns. Kingsbury left town with a sore arm, no touchdowns, and a loss, as the Colorado defense rose to the occasion in leading the Buffs to a convincing 37-13 win.

Kingsbury did get his yards, 268 in all, but on 36-of-65 passing and no touchdowns. The Red Raider quarterback had been intercepted only six times in 419 attempts in leading Texas Tech to a 5-3 record, but was picked off four times by the Buffs. “To state the obvious, that was a heck of a defensive effort,” stated Colorado head coach Gary Barnett. “All week everybody was talking about their offense and their quarterback, and our defense just sat back quietly and waited for the challenge.”

Texas Tech took a 3-0 lead on its first possession of the game, aided by two Colorado penalties. After a 46-yard kickoff return by Roderick Sneed, the Buffs responded with a 48-yard field goal by Pat Brougham to tie the score. Colorado took a 10-3 lead thanks to a 41-yard interception return to the Red…

Baylor – Buffs cruise to Big 12 North lead in shutout of Bears

October 19th - Boulder No. 23 Colorado 34, Baylor 0

For a third straight game, Colorado opened the game against a Big 12 conference rival with a quick 14-0 lead. Unlike the Kansas State and Kansas games of the previous two weeks, however, this time the Buffs did not let up, cruising to a 34-0 win over Baylor.

Chris Brown rushed for 167 yards and three touchdowns as the Buffs raced out to a 34-0 halftime lead before letting backups play much of the scoreless second half.

Brown scored on the third play of the game on a 55-yard run. Shortly thereafter, Brandon Drumm capped an eight-play, 61-yard drive from a yard out, and the Buffs were up 14-0. Rather than allow a comeback (Kansas State had tied the Buffs 14-all two weeks earlier, and Kansas had briefly taken a 15-14 lead a week before), the Buffs poured in on against hapless Baylor.

Set up by an interception by Roderick Sneed, the Buffs scored on a four-yard Chris Brown run on the first play of the second quarter. The extra point attempt by Pat Brougham was missed, but the Buffs were up comfortably, 20-0.

Just over two minutes later, quarterback…

Kansas – Chris Brown goes for a career-high 309 yards in rout

October 12th - @ Kansas Colorado 53, Kansas 29

Chris Brown rushed for a career-high 309 yards and scored two touchdowns in leading Colorado to a 53-29 win over Kansas in Lawrence.

In becoming only the third player in school history to post a 300-yard rushing game, Brown carried the ball 25 times for a healthy 12.4 yards per carry. Quarterback Robert Hodge continued his steady play as well, hitting on 12-of-19 passes for 119 yards and three touchdowns.

Only the Buffs’ porous defense kept the game from becoming a total rout.

For the second consecutive week, the Buffs raced out to an early 14-0 lead. Hodge hit receiver D.J. Hackett with an eight-yard scoring pass on the Buffs’ opening drive. On the Buffs’ second possession, Brown broke free on a second-and-six play from the Colorado 22-yard line for a 78-yard touchdown. The rout was on against the 112th-ranked defense (out of 117 teams).

For the second consecutive week, however, the Buffs had an early 14-0 lead erased. After Jeremy Bloom muffed a punt, pinning the Buffs deep in their own end, Brown was tackled in the endzone for a safety. 14-2, Colorado.

By the first play of the second quarter,…

October 5th - Boulder Colorado 35, No. 13 Kansas State 31

Showing a big-play ability largely muted in non-conference games, the Colorado offense hit its stride in leading the Buffs to a 35-31 win over No. 13 Kansas State. The Buffs scored on plays of 71, 85, and 94 yards in rolling to 483 yards of total offense against the nation’s fifth-ranked defense.

Quarterback Robert Hodge connected on 13-of-20 passes for 289 yards and three touchdowns in making a successful return to Folsom Field. After enduring a devastating debut against USC (1-of-9, 20 yards, one interception), Hodge connected on a 71-yard scoring pass to Brian Calhoun, a record-setting 94-yarder to Jeremy Bloom, and a one-yard toss to Jesse Wallace.

“He keeps getting better, and I’ve told a lot of people about what a great deep ball he throws, and he proved that today,” said Gary Barnett after the game. “He’s getting more and more confident, and played really well.”

The CU offense sparkled early. On the Buffs’ first drive of the game, Hodge hit Derek McCoy in stride for 41 yards, with Chris Brown scoring on a one-yard run to give the Buffs a 7-0 lead. On Colorado’s next series, Hodge…

No. 20 UCLA – Buffs take down Bruins in 99-degree heat

September 21st – @ UCLA Colorado 31, No. 20 UCLA 17

Chris Brown gained 188 yards on 26 carries and scored three touchdowns as Colorado defeated UCLA in Pasadena, 31-17.

Bouncing back after a humiliating defeat at the hands of USC, the Buffs took out their frustrations on the Trojans’ cross-town rivals, posting 471 yards of total offense.

“This is us,” said Chris Brown, who scored on runs of 19, 7, and eight yards. Indeed, a team that had been held to just four first downs a week earlier put up 27 first downs against UCLA, compiling 325 yards on the ground. Quarterback Robert Hodge, making his second start in place of Craig Ochs, was not spectacular but did not hurt the Buffs, connecting on 11-of-22 passes for 117 yards and no turnovers.

It took some time to wear down the Bruins, though. In the first quarter, the Buffs had only 27 yards of total offense. On the first play of the second quarter, UCLA scored on a trick play to take a 7-0 lead. Rather than succumb, the Buffs bounced right back, taking only four plays to score, with Brown doing the honors from 19 yards out. A…

September 7th - Boulder No. 17 Colorado 34, San Diego State 14

The Buffs survived the loss of quarterback Craig Ochs to injury to win their home-opener against San Diego State, 34-14.

Ochs suffered a concussion late in the second quarter and did not return. Senior quarterback Robert Hodge teamed with a “bend-but-don’t-break” Colorado defense in the second half to help the Buffs pull away from the Aztecs.

Both teams scored on their opening drives of the game.

Ochs hit tight end Beau Williams for a 22-yard score to put the Buffs up, 7-0. San Diego State responded with a 15-play, 80-yard drive, culminated by a 4-yard scoring run by running back Garric Simmons.

The first quarter theatrics were not over just yet, however. On the Buffs’ next drive, on third-and-five from the CU 25-yard line, Craig Ochs hit wide receiver Derek McCoy around midfield. McCoy did the rest, turning the play into a 75-yard touchdown.

After SDSU had knotted the score at 14, the game turned on a special teams play. Freshman running back Michael Franklin, who had posted the Aztecs second score, touched a punt close to his endzone. Mistakenly believing that he had to come out with the ball,…
