For the first time since 2010, shortly before Colorado moved to the Pac-12 Conference, the Buffaloes met up with old foe Nebraska for the opening contest in a renewed rivalry. In a game that was not decided until the final minutes, the Buffs defeated the Cornhuskers in a close one, 33-28.
Before Saturday’s game at Memorial Field in Lincoln, Nebraska, Colorado was 18-49 in the all-time series with the Huskers.
About a third into the first quarter, the Buffs’ offense began running at a pace similar to last week’s 45-13 win over Colorado State, which featured two early touchdowns in quick succession.
