Against Kansas, junior Rodney Stewart rushed for a career-high 175 yards, and freshman wide receiver Paul Richardson had his first 100-yard receiving game (11 catches for 141 yards and two touchdowns).

Both noteworthy events.

The 2010 game between Colorado and Kansas, however, will only be remembered by Buff fans as the game in which Colorado lost a 28-point lead. Up 45-17 seven seconds into the fourth quarter on Stewart’s third touchdown of the game, the Buffs gave up 35 unanswered points to lose, 52-45.

The worst “come-from-ahead” loss in school history sent the reeling Buffs to a 3-6 record overall, and their first 0-5 start in conference play since the 1979 Buffs started Big Eight play with an 0-5 record.

Just when you thought that there were no records left for Dan Hawkins to set in his inglorious stint as the head coach at the University of Colorado, he goes and sets two more.

The Buffs absorbed their worst “come from ahead” loss in school history, giving up 35 unanswered points to fall to Kansas, 52-45. The Jayhawks, who had scored 40 points – total – in their first four Big 12 conference games, scored 35 in the fourth quarter to hand the Buffs their 15th consecutive road loss. The previous high for a lead lost was 21 points. In 1950, Colorado had a 21-0 lead on Kansas, but lost, 27-21. Then, in 2007 (yes, under Dan Hawkins), Colorado had a 21-0 lead on Iowa State, but eventually lost, 31-28.

Oklahoma 43, Colorado 10

Colorado’s last visit to storied Owen Field as a member of the Big 12 did not end (or begin, for that matter) well.

In the long, successful history of its football program, Oklahoma had never before had a 34-game home winning streak, but had just such a streak heading into the game against the Buffs. In the long, relatively successful history of its football program, Colorado had never before had a 14-game road losing streak, but had just such a streak heading into the game against the Sooners.

Result? Predictable.

Oklahoma 43; Colorado 10.

Quarterback Landry Jones threw for a career-high 453 yards and four touchdowns, while wide receiver Ryan Broyles set a school record with 208 yards receiving in the rout of Colorado.

It was Saturday night. The team was on the road, playing before a national television audience. The team had actually had recent success against its opponent, but the historical record was on the side of the home team.

It was a big game for both teams, but for different reasons. One had national title aspirations; the other was looking for respect.

The fan was pensive, concerned. In a word: nervous.
