BOULDER — Colorado freshman quarterback Owen McCown gave the Buffaloes' offense a bit of a boost Saturday, but it wasn't enough as visiting UCLA rolled to a 45-17 win at Folsom Field.
The Buffs dropped to 0-4 overall and 0-1 in Pac-12 play while the Bruins improved to 4-0, 1-0.
Colorado scored its second first-half touchdown of the year late in the second quarter, and trailed just 21-10 at the half.
But the Bruins put the game away with a touchdown and field goal early in the third quarter, then another touchdown after a CU turnover to build a 38-10 lead.
