BOULDER — While the most-important statistic of all may not show it, the Colorado Buffaloes' defense has continued to make strides the last few weeks, despite battling injuries.
Colorado still hasn't held an opponent under 30 points this season. But the Buffs' defense has kept CU in games, including last week's 31-14 loss at UCLA. After giving up 17 points in the first quarter — with one Bruins touchdown coming after a Colorado turnover — the CU defense came up with four straight stops, including an interception in UCLA territory.
But the Colorado offense wasn't able to fully capitalize on those opportunities.
