DENVER — Colorado's defense played lights out all afternoon, but the Buffaloes' bid for an upset of No. 5 Texas A&M fell just short Saturday as the Aggies used a fourth-quarter touchdown to escape Empower Field with a 10-7 win over CU.
Karl Dorrell's Buffs dropped to 1-1 with the loss while A&M improved to 2-0.
The Buffaloes scored first, putting a touchdown on the board in the first quarter, but they never found the end zone again. Both teams missed field goals in the first half, and CU also came up short on a fourth-and-1 attempt at the Texas A&M 5-yard line in the second quarter.
