Exciting finish on Colorado- Oregon. Colorado took the lead back with a barely- inbounds twisting one- handed catch. Completed two point conversion to the same receiver- Bryce Bobo. CU up by three. Trade possessions. Colorado forced to punt deep in their own territory. Oregon gets it on the 40. Drives down to seven yard line- first and goal. Should be able to score from there. Only forty four seconds remaining. Even a field goal would send the game to overtime. Pass in the endzone picked off! Colorado runs out the clock for a 41- 38 point win.
I am impressed with our back-up quarterback who played the whole game. He is a redshirt freshman and was 23 out of 32 (only two incompletions in the first half) for 333 yards and three touchdown. He also ran for 135 yards and another TD (top rusher on the team). He did have two interceptions which let Oregon back into the game but a very nice outing.
So our only loss so far was at #4 Michigan and we led that one in the second half- can't be too disappointed in that one. Michigan beat Penn State today 49- 10.They beat Hawaii 63- 3 too. We really are a good team- finally. Three wins in first four games. Last year we won only four all season and two, four, one, and three in the previous seasons.
