The Colorado Buffaloes won the Rocky Mountain Showdown 52-31, but it was close up until the very end. here we take a took at three important lessons from the game.
1. Buffs might have something at running back
The Buffs ran all over the Rams for 243 yards and 4 touchdowns. Alex Fontenot, a redshirt sophomore making his first start, was the star of the game with 125 yards and 3 scores, and he looked slippery and patient running behind a strong offensive line. The Buffs ended up not having to pass much at all — they had fewer passing yards than rushing for the first time in forever — but it’s difficult to tell how good Colorado’s rushing attack will be in the future.
