The Big Eight was once known as the “Big Two and Little Six”. The Pac-12 in 2019 can be looked upon as the “Big Two and Little Ten”, which bodes well for a CU program which is primed to take the next step …

Colorado 16, Stanford 13

Red-shirt freshman kicker Evan Price, subbing for James Stefanou, connected on three fields, the last being a 37-yarder on the game’s final play, giving Colorado a 16-13 win over Stanford.

The Buffs took a 7-0 lead on their first drive of the game, but lost the lead early in the fourth quarter on a 79-yard touchdown pass from Stanford quarterback K.J. Costello to Simi Fehoko. Down 13-10, the Buffs launched two long fourth quarter drives – 14 plays for 69 yards and 13 plays for 61 yards – to tie the game and then post the game’s final points.

“I just wanted to go out there and pretend it was a practice kick and do what I normally do,” Price said. “Trust the holder, trust the snapper and trust the line, and everything just went right”.

The win over Stanford did not move the Buffs out of last place in the Pac-12 South, but it did send a message to the rest of the league (and to the recruits on hand for a 77-degree sunny day in November) that the future of the program is bright …

After Oregon and Utah, the Pac-12 is a jumble. Every other team in the conference has at least four wins … and at least four losses. Heading into the third weekend in November, EVERY team in the Pac-12 is still in the running for a bowl bid – so where do the Buffs fit in? …

UCLA 31, Colorado 14

UCLA quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson completed 21-of-28 passes for 226 yards and a touchdown, leading the Bruins to an easy 31-14 victory over Colorado. Taking advantage of a Steven Montez interception and a porous Colorado defense, the Bruins raced to a 17-0 first quarter lead … before the Buff offense could muster its first first down of the contest.

Steven Montez completed only 21-of-38 passes for 195 yards against a defense which entered the game 127th in the nation in pass defense (306.8 yards/game). Overall, the Buffs mustered only 14 points against the No. 114 scoring defense, and only 283 yards of total offense against the No. 112 defense in the country.

The Buffs’ leaders on offense each only mustered 77 yards, with Jaren Mangham gaining 77 yards on the ground (on 17 carries), while Tony Brown led the receivers with 77 yards on six receptions, including a 27-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter when the game was already well out of reach.
