RELEASE NUMBER 9 (November 5, 2013) Pac-12 Networks (National) | KOA-RADIO | CUBUFFS.COM (Live Stats) QUICKLY SPEAKING … The Colorado Buffaloes (3-5, 0-5 Pac-12) remains on the conference road for the second consecutive week, traveling to the Pacific Northwest for the second time this fall to take on the Washington Huskies (5-3, 2-3 Pac-12) in a 6:07 p.m. mountain time kickoff at Husky Stadium in Seattle … The Huskies have been ranked seven different weeks this season, debuting at No. 20 (AP) after blowing out Boise State in their opener, and rising to as high as No. 15 before falling out of the polls following three straight losses, two to a pair of top-5 teams ... Washington has won four straight in the series to take a 7-5-1 lead, winning a home-and-home back in 1999-2000 and both games in Pac-12 play since a 33-21 Buff win over UW in the ’96 Holiday Bowl … This is the fourth time since joining the Pac-12 that the Buffaloes will have back-to-back conference games on the road; CU has split one of those (L at UCLA, W at Utah in 2011) and have lost both the other two times …. Colorado is coming off a 45-23 loss to UCLA at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena; the Buffs led 10-7 in the second quarter only to see the Bruins battle back to take a 21-13 halftime lead, and then all but seal it with two third quarter scores to go up 35-13 ... Washington was idle last Saturday; the Huskies are the only team CU will play this year that had a bye week before its game ... Colorado finally won a coin toss, doing so at UCLA, and is now 1-7 on the call ... The Buffs enter this game having dropped 13 straight Pac-12 games since winning the ’12 opener at Washington State ... This is the second of three road games this month, as round trips to L.A., Seattle and Salt Lake City will cover some 4,376 miles. ..

DEPTH CHART ON PAGE 53; ROSTER ON PAGES 54-55 CU-Washington: Pac-12 Networks / Kevin Calabro (play-by-play) / Yogi Roth (color analyst) / Jill Savage (sideline reporter) / David Feldman (producer) STAT OF THE WEEK All or Nothing Part II. It was feast or famine for UCLA, as the Bruins gained 317 yards on its 15 plays of 10 yards or longer, most significantly a 76-yard touchdown pass. The other 42 plays gained just 95 yards, or just 2.3 per; so if it appears the Buffs do seem to get a good number of stops, the math backs it up. In the previous week’s 44-20 loss to Arizona, the Wildcats also capitalized on the big play: it had the most 20-plus plays of the year against the Buffs (10; CU had allowed 30 in the first six games of the season). Those 10 plays gained a whopping 373 yards (or 37.3 per), while the other 72 the ‘Cats ran gained 292, or 4.1 per. OBSCURE NOTE OF THE WEEK Jinx Alert: Colorado running backs haven’t fumbled the ball a single time in 2013, as the coaches have improved the ball security all around (CU has only eight fumbles total in as many games). Christian Powell (104 rushes, 108 total touches), Michael Adkins II (65, 73), Tony Jones (51, 60) and Donta Abron (14, all rushes) have combined for 234 rushing attempts and 255 total touches without coughing up the ball. Jones has just one fumble in 261 career touches (192 rushes), while Powell has just two in 274 (262 rushes). 2013 COLORADO SCHEDULE & RESULTS (3-5, 0-5 PAC-12) 2013 Date CU* Opponent Opp* TV Result/Time Record Series This-N-That or ’12 rewind Sept. 1 NR Colorado State (Denver) NR CBS-SN W 41-27 4-5 62-21-2 Wood throws for 400 yards/3 TD; Richardson hauls in 10 for 208/2 TDs in return SEPT. 7 NR CENTRAL ARKANSAS (N) (FCS-5) P12N W 38-24 5-4 1- 0-0 CU gets two INT return TDs and scores 21 4Q points in upending FCS No. 5 team SEPT. 14 NR FRESNO STATE NR P12N POSTPONED 8-0 4- 2-0 Game postponed due to record rainfall and subsequent flooding in Boulder Sept. 28 NR at Oregon State NR P12N L 17-44 6-3 2- 4-0 Beaver TD’s at end of first and start of second halves break open close 10-3 game OCT. 5 NR OREGON (FW) 2 P12N L 16-57 8-0 8-10-0 Oregon’s 755 yards second-most against CU; Buffs did lead early, 10-8 Oct. 12 NR at Arizona State (RV) P12N L 13-54 6-2 0- 5-0 ASU storms to 25-0 lead in first 10:15; freshman Liufau replaces Wood at QB OCT. 19 NR CHARLESTON SOUTHERN (FCS-23) P12N W 43-10 9-1 1- 0-0 Adkins sets CU frosh record with 4 TDs against Bucs, which replaced Fresno OCT. 26 NR ARIZONA (HC) NR P12N L 20-44 6-2 13- 3-0 UA scores final 17 points to pull away; Carey scores 4 TDs but nets just 119 yards Nov. 2 NR at UCLA 17 FS-1 L 23-45 6-2 2- 7-0 Two third quarter TDs enable Bruins to break open 21-13 game at half Nov. 9 NR at Washington (RV) P12N 6:00p 5-3 5- 7-1 UW breaks open a tight 7-0 game at halftime with 17 third quarter points NOV. 16 CALIFORNIA P12N 3:30p 1-8 2- 4-0 ’11 game was non-league affair (Cal 36-33 in OT/Boulder); thus first Pac-12 game NOV. 23 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TBA TBA 6-3 0- 7-0 Barkley throws 6 TD passes (in ’11 & ‘12); CU nets just two FGs in 5 redzone trips Nov. 30 at Utah TBA TBA 4-4 31-25-3 Back-to-back 100-yard KOR TDs by CU (Mosley), UU (Dunn), but latter won it (All times mountain.
