Nov 22nd – at No. 2 Oregon – A Day of Celebration

No. 2 Oregon methodically took care of business against out-manned Colorado, posting almost 600 yards of total offense in posting a 44-10 victory. Heisman hopeful Marcus Mariota threw for 323 yards and three touchdowns, adding 73 yards and another touchdown rushing, as the Ducks built up a 30-3 halftime lead before coasting in the second half.

Colorado was stymied on offense, gaining only 226 yards of total offense. Sophomore quarterback Jordan Gehrke made his first career start, and was never able to generate any consistency. Gehrke went 9-for-18 for 64 yards before being replaced in the third quarter by Sefo Liufau. The Buffs’ only touchdown of the game, a five yard touchdown pass from Liufau to freshman wide receiver Donovan Lee, came late in the third quarter when the game was already well in hand for the 10-1 Ducks.

CU faltered against Oregon (again), but Saturday should nonetheless be remembered as great day for the Buff Nation

Liufau: ‘I definitely think we can beat Oregon and the whole team has that mentality” … CU Spring game moved up to March 15th

The Ducks’ defense is giving up more yards (456.7) than the Buffs’ (449.6)! … So ends the good news …

“Faster, Higher, Stronger” fits the efforts of the CU cross-country, volleyball, and soccer teams this fall

CU leads Oregon in all-time wins, conference titles, all-time players in the NFL, and, of course, national titles and Heisman trophy winners. None of that will make much difference this November, however …
