BOULDER — Colorado's defense produced four takeaways and the offense came up with a game-clinching 90-yard touchdown drive Saturday as the Buffaloes claimed a 20-17 win over Washington at Folsom Field.
The Buffs improved to 4-7 overall and 3-5 in Pac-12 play while the Huskies dropped to 4-7, 3-5.
Washington dominated nearly every statistical category except one — turnovers. CU's defense collected two interceptions and two fumble recoveries, including a 92-yard scoop-and-score by linebacker Jack Lamb in the first quarter that gave CU a 10-0 lead. Colorado also turned a Robert Barnes fumble recovery into a field goal in the fourth quarter, then drove for the game-clinching touchdown following a Nikko Reed interception.
