It was sketchy at first, but the final Rocky Mountain Showdown (for the time being) turned into a good ole fashioned Buffs beatdown. In the highest scoring RMS ever, Colorado came away with a 52-31 win over Colorado State.
The Buffs began the game with a physical drive that had fans confident. Besides a pass interference on a third down — because grabbing Laviska Shenault Jr. is better than letting him ruin your day — the Buffs only threw one pass, and it was a 1-yard touchdown to graduate transfer Jalen Harris. Every other play until that score was a run down the middle with the offensive line opening the gates for Alex Fontenot.
