Oklahoma State – Vogel: 0-for-7; three interceptions

October 29th – Boulder Oklahoma State 40, Colorado 14

The Buffs and Cowboys had provided two of the most entering Big Eight contests in the previous two years, with the Buffs coming from behind to win 11-10 in 1981, and the two teams battling to a 25-25 tie in 1982. The Buffs, 2-5 in 1983, and sporting a four-game losing streak, could only hope to repeat the magic against Jimmy Johnson’s Cowboys.

It was not meant to be.

Oklahoma State came into the contest with a 5-2 record, but the Cowboys two losses had been to the big boys, Nebraska and Oklahoma, and had been by a total of only five points. Looking for national respect, the Cowboys were out to make a point against the now pitiful Buffs.

After a scoreless first quarter, Oklahoma State posted a 30-spot on the Buffs in the second quarter. By the time Colorado put points on the board, it was the fourth quarter, and many of the 36,889 who came for Homecoming had left. The final of 40-14 was a fair summation of the game. The Buffs’ two scores – a 56-yard pass from Derek Marshall to Loy Alexander, and a 22-yard run by Derek…

November 8th – @OSU Oklahoma State 42, Colorado 7

The early November match-up against Oklahoma State represented perhaps the Buffs’ last best chance at a victory in 1980. Colorado was 1-7 on the season, but the Cowboys had not fared much better. Oklahoma State was 1-5-1 on the year, with the only win a 15-6 win over San Diego State (a team which had come to Stillwater 1-6). The Cowboys had fallen to West Texas State in the season opener, and had not played very well since.

Enter the Colorado Buffaloes – healers to the sick.

If there was any momentum for the Colorado football program from the victory over the Cyclones, it was lost on the way down to Stillwater. The Buffs fumbled four times in the first half alone, stumbling to a 28-0 deficit at the break. With Oklahoma State an opponent there for the taking, the return to the bumbling Buffs was not a welcome sight.

The Colorado running game, potent a week earlier against Iowa State, was anemic against Oklahoma State. Lance Olander was banged up and limited to special teams play. Walter Stanley was hurt on the first series, putting the ball into the hands…
