For the third week in a row, the Colorado Buffaloes have lost a football game in blowout fashion. This week’s rendition would come in the form of a 49-7 loss to the Minnesota Golden Gophers in Minneapolis on Sept. 17.
The Buffaloes went into Saturday’s game ranked as the worst football team in any of the major Power 5 conferences, and they went into Saturday’s game hoping to prove that they didn’t belong at the bottom. However, the game did not go as they had planned. Seven minutes into the game, the Buffs were down 14 points, and Minnesota didn’t stop expanding that lead until the final whistle.
