PULLMAN, Wash. — Facing the No. 24 team in the country on the road with a backup quarterback at the helm, the Colorado Buffaloes needed a near-perfect effort to knock off Washington State on Saturday night.
They didn’t get it. Instead, it was Washington State quarterback Luke Falk who was near perfect for the better part of three quarters while the Buffs once again made too many mistakes to keep themselves in the game.
The result was the Buffs’ seventh Pac-12 loss of the season, a 27-3 decision that officially eliminated any hope of a postseason berth.
