His 59-yard punt return in the first quarter to the UA 14-yard line was the second-longest by a Buffalo in the last 13 seasons; CB Isaiah Oliver returned one 68 yards for a TD against UCLA in Boulder in 2016. It was the longest away from Boulder by a Buff since WR Jeremy Bloom returned one 80 yards for a TD against Oklahoma in the 2002 Big 12 Championship Game, and the longest in a true road game since WR Roman Hollowell returned one 66 yards for a touchdown at Kansas in 2001; in fact, it was the 10th longest punt return by a Buffalo in a road game in the school’s history. OBSCURE NOTE OF THE WEEK Due in part to the new rule where players can appear in up to four games and not lose the year of eligibility, Colorado has seen a record for players seeing their first action in a CU uniform in a single season. A total of 45 players have seen their first action in 2018; 34 in the opener against Colorado State, a school record for a season opener. The previous high was 33 players in 2011, as the annual number usually hovers around 25. Of those 45, 30 are freshmen (nine true, the most since nine played in 2012). 2018 COLORADO SCHEDULE & RESULTS (5-4, 2-4 Pac-12) 2018 Date CU* Opponent Opp* TV Result/Time Record Series This-N-That or ’17 rewind Aug. 31 NR Colorado State (N; Denver) NR CBS-SN W 45-13 3-6 66-22-2 CU has a 300-yard passer, 200-yard receiver and a 100-yard rusher for first time Sept. 8 NR at Nebraska NR ABC W 33-28 2-7 1,9-49-2 Buffs rally for 33-28 win in first meeting between former Big 8 rivals since 2010 SEPT. 15 RV NEW HAMPSHIRE ---- PAC12MT W 45-14 3-6 1- 0-0 CU sprints to 28-0 halftime lead, 74 different players see action SEPT. 28 RV UCLA (N) NR FS-1 W 38-16 2-7 4-10-0 22-point win is largest by CU in series (four previous games decided by 21 points) OCT. 6 21 ARIZONA STATE (FW) RV PAC12 W 28-21 5-4 2- 8-0 Shenault’s 4 TDs (2 rushing/2 receiving) lead Buffs to win over the Sun Devils Oct. 13 19 Southern California (N) NR FS-1 L 20-31 5-4 0-13-0 USC takes control with 21 points in last half of second quarter (21-7 at half) Oct. 20 RV at Washington 15 FOX L 13-27 7-3 6-11-1 UW up 14-13 at half; has now outscored CU 67-6 in last three second halves OCT. 27 RV OREGON STATE (HC) NR PAC12 L 34-41 OT 2-7 5- 6-0 Beavers rally from down 31-3 with 14:48 left in 3Q; CU forced OTwith PAT block Nov. 2 NR at Arizona (N) NR FS-1 L 34-42 5-5 14- 7-0 Wild see-saw affair sees combined 59 points in second and third quarters NOV. 10 NR WASHINGTON STATE (N) 9 ESPN 1:35 p.m. 8-1 6- 5-0 Buffs shutout for first time since 2012 (60 games); Lindsay goes over 1K rushing NOV. 17 UTAH TBA TBA 6-3 32-29-3 Utes take 5-2 lead since both join Pac-12; first 6 games were decided by 32 points Nov. 24 at California TBA TBA 5-4 4- 5-0 CU wins in romp, 44-28 in ’17; first season finale in 8 seasons that isn’t vs. Utah Nov. 30 Pac-12 Championship Game FOX 6:00 p.m. at Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, Calif.
