BOULDER — Colorado's offense never blinked Saturday.
Even after a lackluster first half when the Buffs reached Nebraska territory only twice, the Buffs didn't panic.
Then, when their defense gave them the opportunity in the second half, they finally capitalized. After throwing for just 84 yards in the first half, CU quarterback Steven Montez threw for 291 and two touchdowns after intermission to lift Colorado to a 34-31 overtime win. His first touchdown, a 96-yarder to K.D. Nixon — the longest play from scrimmage in CU history — came on a flea-flicker and pulled the Buffs to within 17-14 early in the fourth quarter.
