PULLMAN, Wash. — Colorado fell behind early and never recovered Friday night as the Buffaloes dropped a 56-14 decision to Washington State at Martin Stadium.
The loss eliminated CU from bowl eligibility as Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders' Buffs lost their fifth game in a row to fall to 4-7 overall and 1-7 in Pac-12 play. Washington State ended a six-game losing streak to improve to 5-6 overall and 2-6 in Pac-12 play.
Five of Colorado's last six games had been decided by one score, but the Cougars made sure early this one wouldn't be close.
