SAN ANTONIO — Colorado couldn't keep up with Texas' firepower Tuesday night, but the Buffaloes did get a great look at their possible quarterback of the future in a 55-23 Alamo Bowl loss to the Longhorns.
The Buffs wrapped up their first season under Karl Dorrell at 4-2 while Texas improved to 7-3.
One of the bright spots of the night for the Buffs was the debut performance of quarterback Brendon Lewis. The true freshman made his first appearance for Colorado and engineered three touchdown drives for the Buffaloes in relief of starter Sam Noyer, who threw two interceptions in the first quarter.
