TEMPE, Ariz. — Sooner or later, the Colorado Buffaloes believe, they will break through with a Pac-12 win that most people didn’t expect, one of those signature victories that will send a clear message that the program has turned the corner.
The Buffs would prefer sooner, of course — and their next opportunity is Saturday night’s matchup with Arizona State at Sun Devil Stadium (8 p.m., Pac-12 Networks).
It’s not a stretch to say the Buffs need a Pac-12 win — of any kind — in the worst way. After last week’s loss to Oregon in their conference opener, the 3-2 Buffs now own a 12-game conference losing streak, one that stretches back to late 2013.
