DEPTH CHART ON PAGE 55; ROSTER ON PAGES 56-57 CU-California: Pac-12 Networks / Roxy Bernstein (play-by-play) / Anthony Herron (color analyst) / no sideline reporter / Aaron Owens (producer) STAT OF THE WEEK Colorado had just one penalty for four yards at Washington; that tied for the fifth-fewest in a game in CU history, and the least since the Buffs were flagged zero time against Texas Tech in 2006. Through nine games, the Buffaloes have just 43 penalties for 380 yards, numbers that rank 29th and 39th in the NCAA. Colorado is on target to have its fewest penalties since 1985, when the team had just 49 for 450 yards (in an 11-game season); that was the last season the Buffaloes were flagged under 60 times. OBSCURE NOTE OF THE WEEK Colorado’s game at Washington took just 2 hours and 48 minutes to play; in fact, it was over so fast that CU’s team plane had yet to arrive at Sea-Tac International Airport when the Buffs’ busses arrived there postgame. It tied for the third fastest game for the Buffs in the last 24 seasons (dating back to 1990); the only two quicker ones were both that season, also against Washington as well as Iowa State, both 2:46 and both at Folsom Field. The game at Kansas in 1990 also took 2:48, and the 2006 game against Colorado State in Denver was played in 2:48, so the UW game this year was the fastest since then. 2013 COLORADO SCHEDULE & RESULTS (3-6, 0-6 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 5-5 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 5-5 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 9-0 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 8-1 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 7-2 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 10-1 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 6-3 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 7-2 2- 7-0 Two third quarter TDs enable Bruins to break open 21-13 game at half Nov. 9 NR at Washington (RV) P12N L 7-59 6-3 5- 8-1 Pair of late first half scores put UW up 31-7; three 3Q Buff TO’s seal game for UW NOV. 16 NR CALIFORNIA NR P12N 3:37p 1-9 2- 4-0 ’11 game was non-league affair (Cal 36-33 in OT/Boulder); thus first Pac-12 game NOV. 23 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (RV) TBA TBA 7-3 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 4-5 31-25-3 Back-to-back 100-yard KOR TDs by CU (Mosley), UU (Dunn), but latter won it (All times mountain.
