Heading into the game, in the first 62 games in the Mike MacIntyre Era, the Buffs had been 18-of-161 in those situations (or 11.1 percent). The 991 yards Colorado has on offense through two games are the second-most in the MacIntyre Era; the 2016 Buffaloes had 1,175 after two contests. OBSCURE NOTE OF THE WEEK It might not get more obscure than this: the last time Colorado opened 2-0 without the benefit of one of the wins being at home in Boulder was in 1920. The then-Silver & Gold (Buffaloes would not become the nickname for another 14 years) opened with a 31-0 win at Denver on October 16; a week later, CU defeated Wyoming in Laramie, 7-0. Heck, Folsom Field didn’t even exist then, it opened in 1924. It also happened in 1900, 1905 and 1908, but five of the wins were against area high schools and the sixth, on October 7, 1905, was Colorado’s all-time highest margin of victory, a 109-0 win over Regis College in Denver. 2018 COLORADO SCHEDULE & RESULTS (2-0, 0-0 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 1-2 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 0-1 19-49-2 Buffs rally for 33-28 win in first meeting between former Big 8 rivals since 2010 SEPT. 15 RV NEW HAMPSHIRE ---- PAC12MT 3:07 p.m. 0-2 0- 0-0 UNH furthest east opponent in CU history; two have been longtime skiing rivals SEPT. 28 UCLA (N) FS-1 7:00 p.m. 0-2 3-10-0 Fourth straight tight game between the two (the four decided by 21 points) OCT. 6 ARIZONA STATE (FW) TBA TBA 2-0 1- 8-0 Buffs led for most of the game (nearly 48 minutes), only to see ASU rally late Oct. 13 Southern California TBA TBA 1-1 0-12-0 Last two games: first half, USC 34-0; second half, CU 41-25 as Trojans prevail Oct. 20 at Washington TBA TBA 1-1 5-11-1 Game plays out eerily similar to ’16 Pac-12 title game, as UW pulls away in 3rd Q OCT. 27 OREGON STATE (HC) TBA TBA 1-1 5- 5-0 Montez leads 9-play, 82-yard drive for winning score with 1:34 remaining Nov. 2 at Arizona (N) FS-1 8:30 p.m. 0-2 14- 6-0 Teams combine for 713 rush yards, record 608 by two players (Lindsay: 281) NOV. 10 WASHINGTON STATE (N) TBA TBA 2-0 6- 5-0 Buffs shutout for first time since 2012 (60 games); Lindsay goes over 1K rushing NOV. 17 UTAH TBA TBA 2-0 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 2-0 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.
