DEPTH CHART ON PAGE 60; ROSTER ON PAGES 61-62 CU-Oregon (Pac-12 Networks, National): Ted Robinson (play-by-play) / Glenn Parker (color analyst) / Jill Savage (sideline reporter) / Michael Molinari (producer) STAT OF THE WEEK While the Buffaloes haven’t had the fortune to intercept a pass since the first play of the California game, they have knocked down their fair share of passes – and then some. Colorado has 54 passes broken up through 10 games, which is tied for fifth-most in the nation. Mississippi State tops the list with 60, followed by Southern California, Utah State and Virginia, all with 56; Western Michigan has 54 along with CU, with Louisiana State (53), Maryland (51), BYU 950) and Oregon (48) rounding out the top 10. OBSCURE NOTE(S) OF THE WEEK A program first and with two games yet remaining: Colorado has 4,611 yards of total offense, already the 10th most yards in a single season in its history (within 837 of the record 5,448 in 1994). In amassing those yards, this is the first time in their history that the Buffaloes have four 300-plus yard rushers and receivers on the same team. All four running backs have gained between 322 and 398 yards (since the end of the platoon era – 1964 being the last season – CU’s rushing leader has had under 500 yards just twice: Lance Olander (440 in 1979) and Lee Rouson (494 in 1983). Olander’s 88 attempts are the fewest of the last 50 leaders (next low is 117, twice); the quartet this year are all between 65 and 81 carries. QB Sefo Liufau scored the first touchdown of his career at Arizona, but not on rush; he caught a 7-yard TD pass from WR Nelson Spruce. It was the fifth receiving TD by a CU quarterback in its history – ironically the first one, a 73-yard pass from TB Billy Waddy to QB David Williams (73 yards versus Iowa State in Ames, Oct. 13, 1973) was also the first score in Williams’ career. He added another three weeks later (same distance, same thrower), and Craig Ochs had the other (in 2000). 2014 COLORADO SCHEDULE & RESULTS (2-8, 0-7 PAC-12) 2014 Date CU* Opponent Opp* TV Result/Time Record Series This-N-That or ’13 rewind Aug. 29 NR Colorado State (N; Denver) NR FS-1 L 17-31 9-1 62-22-2 Buffs jump up 10-0, 17-7; Rams score game’s final 24 points over last 21 minutes Sept. 6 NR at Massachusetts NR ESPN3 W 41-38 3-7 1- 0-0 CU rallies from 11 down in 3Q to win in first trip to U.S. Northeast since 1977 SEPT. 13 NR ARIZONA STATE (N) 16 ESPNU L 24-38 8-2 0- 6-0 ASU up 17-0 early, holds off CU charge (Buffs outgain ASU 523-204 last 3 qtrs) SEPT. 20 NR HAWAI’I (FW) NR P12N W 21-12 3-8 2- 2-0 Buffs allow no touchdowns for first time in 51 games (2010 opener vs. CSU) Sept. 27 NR at California NR P12N L 56-59 (2OT) 5-5 3- 5-0 CU sets and/or ties 32 school records, FBS record 14 TD passes (7 by each team) OCT. 4 NR OREGON STATE NR P12N L 31-36 5-5 2- 5-0 OSU goes up 14-0 early, hangs on for dear life as Buffs end game at Beaver 40 Oct. 18 NR at Southern California 22 P12N L 28-56 7-3 0- 9-0 USC jumps out to early 28-0 lead, Buffs forced to play catch-up rest of game OCT. 25 NR UCLA (HC) 25 P12N L 37-40 (2OT) 8-2 2- 8-0 Buffs rally from 31-14 down in 4Q to send game into OT; Hundley run wins it NOV. 1 NR WASHINGTON NR P12N L 23-38 6-5 5- 9-1 CU in control until 3 TO’s in 3 minutes in the 3rd quarter shifts mo to Washington Nov. 8 NR at Arizona 21 P12N L 20-38 8-2 13- 4-0 UA converts 4 CU TO’s into 28 points; took lead for good late in first half (20-17) Nov. 22 NR at Oregon 3 P12N 2:37 p.m. 9-1 8-10-0 First regular season road finale in Pacific Time Zone since 1915 (at Washington) NOV. 29 UTAH P12N 11 am or Noon 7-3 31-26-3 First regular season finale at home on a Saturday since 1994 (Iowa State) (All times mountain.

    La Salle College High School Football: Chronicle 2011 Game 1, September 3, 2011: La Salle 44 – North Penn 27 by Kev Hunter, The Reporter North Penn stumbles in loss to La Salle North Penn had two double-digit leads Saturday night against La Salle College High School, but the Knights could not hold on, falling 44-27 at Plymouth-Whitemarsh. The Knights had a 21-10 lead at halftime and a 27-16 lead in the third quarter, but La Salle dominated the fourth. Wide receiver Colin Buckley caught four touchdown passes from Matt Magarity, all in the second half, to make the difference for La Salle in this rematch of last year’s Eastern Final. La Salle has now defeated North Penn three times in the past two seasons. Kyle Mayfield had a 71-yard touchdown run for the Knights and also a 75-yard run to set up another score, but the North Penn secondary could not cover Buckley. His 1-yard touchdown reception put La Salle ahead for good 30-27 in the fourth, and his nine-yarder extended the margin to 37-27. Four fumbles proved costly for the Knights, including the last one, which set up Tim Wade’s clinching five-yard touchdown run for La Salle. North Penn also lost to La Salle to end last season in the state semifinals by a score of 38-35. The Knights were ranked second in the state entering the contest by The Harrisburg Patriot-News but figure to take a tumble this week. by Dennis C.

The totals you see are correct. *Looking for sortable projections by position or category? Check out the projections tab inside the ESPN Fantasy game. *'Team stat rankings' is where each team is projected to finish in the category that is shown. *'Unit Grades' is not related to fantasy football and is an objective ranking of each team at 10 key positions. The overall grades are weighted based on positional importance. The scale is 4.0 (best) to 0.1 (worst). A full rundown of Unit Grades can be found on page 51. *'Strength of Schedule Ranking' is based on 2020 rosters (not 2019 team record). '1' is easiest and '32' hardest. See the full list on page 50. *Note that prior to the official release of the NFL schedule (generally late April/early May), the schedule shown includes the correct opponents, but the order is random *Have a question?
