BOULDER – The Colorado Buffaloes wanted to make a statement about the progress of their football program, the Oregon Ducks a proclamation about their resilience and the remainder of the 2015 season.
The Buffs’ progress report will have to wait. Saturday night’s last word went to the Ducks, who rallied from a 17-17 halftime tie and left Folsom Field with a 41-24 Pac-12 win.
In losing its 2015 conference opener, CU has now dropped 12 consecutive Pac-12 games and has lost five straight to Oregon since joining the league in 2011. The Buffs (3-2, 0-1) entered Saturday night’s game with a three-game winning streak.
