‘Pac-12 After Dark’ turned into the No. 19 Colorado Buffaloes’ (5-1, 2-1 in Pac-12) worst nightmare as they suffered a 31-20 loss to the USC Trojans (4-2, 3-1) on Saturday night.
The Colorado Buffaloes came into the game as the Pac-12’s only unbeaten team at 5-0. After Washington’s loss at Oregon earlier in the night, the conference’s College Football Playoff hopes rested solely on CU. After Saturday’s beatdown in the City of Angels, let’s just say we can focus on more manageable goals.
Opposite Colorado, USC was a preseason top 15 despite losing numerous contributors from last season’s Cotton Bowl squad.
