After a dreadful 0-5 start, the Colorado Buffaloes secured their first win of the season on Saturday in exciting fashion. It was the first win for new head coach Mike Sanford, who rose up from his offensive coordinator position after Karl Dorrell and Chris Wilson were let go. The Buffs kept the game close all afternoon, and with great defense were able to pull out their maiden win of the season in overtime against the University of California. After being the last Division 1 football team without a win, the energy and effort brought in by Coach Stanford played a huge role in beating Cal 20-13.
