Kansas State – Road, Dreary Road

Colorado drove 71 yards on its first drive of the game against Kansas State, taking a 6-3 first quarter lead. The remainder of the game, however, the Buffs’ offense generated only 173 yards, turning the ball over four times in falling to the Wildcats, 20-6. The Buffs wasted an outstanding effort from their defense on the afternoon, as the Kansas State offense was held in check for most of the game. Mistakes and penalties, however, continued to plague the Buffs, with Colorado falling to 2-5 on the 2009 season.

I’m a stats freak. Not a great revelation there. Anyone who has been a part of CU at the Game for more than a day knows that I can’t write a paragraph without some numbers being involved. I am also a history Buff – in more ways than one.

The running back the Buffs need to account for … why an early start bodes well for the Buffs … 728 days …

Buffs take out K-State (’92) … Jim Plunkett to Randy Vataha (Ahmad Rashad) … Dante Hall bests Ricky Williams …

Why the “Wabash Cannonball” is played after each KSU kickoff … origins of the “Wildcat” nickname …
