TUCSON, Ariz. — In most instances, college football teams aren't exactly overjoyed at the thought of a Friday night road game. It means a shorter week of preparation and a travel day, followed by a long day of sitting around a hotel waiting to play.
But for the Colorado Buffaloes, this hasn't been one of those instances. In this case, Friday's 8:45 p.m. Pac-12 matchup at Arizona couldn't have gotten here soon enough. The Buffs (5-3 overall, 2-3 Pac-12) have been itching to get back on the field ever since last Saturday's stunning 41-34 overtime loss to Oregon State.
