BOULDER — Colorado's defense and special teams provided a scoring boost and the Buffaloes recorded three touchdowns in a five-minute span Saturday, paving the way for a 34-0 win over Arizona at Folsom Field.
The Buffs, who ended a four-game losing streak, improved to 2-4 overall and 1-2 in Pac-12 play. Arizona, which lost its 18th straight game, fell to 0-6, 0-3.
CU led just 6-0 at intermission after getting two first-half field goals.
But the Buffs recorded a 36-yard blocked punt scoop-and-score from Trevor Woods midway through the third quarter, then added a 50-yard interception return for a score by defensive end Carson Wells for a 20-0 lead with 5:32 left in the period.
