(See companion notes on pages 8 and 10.) OBSCURE NOTE OF THE WEEK Colorado has scored 269 points to date this season, on par with last year (278), otherwise you have to go back to 1996 to find a higher number after nine games (295); the Buffs scored at least 20 in the first seven games of the season and had a run of eight straight come to an end against Oregon State in their 17-13 win at Corvallis (CU has scored 20 or more in 19 of its last 21 games). The seven straight games with 20-plus to open up a season were the most since 1995, when CU scored at least 20 in all 12 games. CU is looking to score 300-plus points in three straight years for the first time since the 2001-03 seasons. 2015 COLORADO RESULTS (4-5, 1-4 Pac-12) 2015 Date CU* Opponent Opp* TV Result/Time Record Series This-N-That or ’13 rewind Sept. 3 NR at Hawai’i (N) NR CBS-SN L 20-28 1-7 2- 3-0 Buffs within one on three occasions (8-7, 15-14, 18-17), but late rally falls short SEPT. 12 NR MASSACHUSETTS NR PACMT W 48-14 1-7 2- 0-0 CU most rushing yards (390) since 2002; Spruce becomes AT receptions leader Sept. 19 NR Colorado State (N; Denver) NR CBS-SN W 27-24 (OT) 3-5 63-22-2 Gonzalez 32 FG wins it after Thompson blocks similar CSU attempt SEPT. 26 NR NICHOLLS STATE NR PAC12 W 48- 0 1-7 1- 0-0 CU dominates, 636-166 edge in TO; Buffs run 71 of 93 plays in plus territory OCT. 3 NR OREGON (N; FW) RV ESPN L 24-41 5-3 8-12-0 Oregon pulls away late after 17-17 halftime tie and 31-24 score with 10:29 left Oct. 10 NR at Arizona State (N) RV PAC12 L 23-48 4-4 0- 7-0 Two fluky TDs (fumble advance, tipped pass) aides ASU cause in 92 degree heat OCT. 17 NR ARIZONA (N; HC) NR FS-1 L 31-38 5-4 13- 5-0 Colorado takes 24-17 lead into 4th Qtr but Wildcats rally with three late TDs Oct. 24 NR at Oregon State (N) NR PAC12 W 17-13 2-6 3- 5-0 Win snaps 14-game Pac-12 losing streak (and 13 straight league road losses) Oct. 31 NR at UCLA 24 PAC12 L 31-35 6-2 2- 9-0 Buffs put 1,054 yards on UCLA “D” last two years but come up 8 pts short (0-2) NOV. 7 NR STANFORD 9 PAC12 11:01a 7-1 3- 5-0 Colorado leads 3-1 in Boulder, where last Buff win in series was (21-17, 1990) NOV. 13 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (N) ESPN2 7:00p 5-3 0- 9-0 Final home game & 80th birthday for the “Voice of the Buffs,” Larry Zimmer Nov. 21 at Washington State TBA TBA 5-3 5- 3-0 The 3 road games have been in as many cities: Spokane, Seattle, Pullman Nov. 28 at Utah TBA TBA 7-1 31-27-3 All four games in Pac-12 play down-to-the-wire (decided by total of 21 points) Dec. 5 Pac-12 Championship Game ABC/ESPN 5:45/6p (at Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, Calif.)
