This play-in game for the postseason features the Colorado Buffaloes (5-6, 2-6 Pac-12) traveling to Rice-Eccles Stadium for a season-finale meeting with the Utah Utes (5-6, 2-6 Pac-12). There are similar records for both teams with a much different ‘tale of the tape’ separating them.
Utah has faced tougher opponents with near upsets of Stanford, USC, Washington State and Washington. It’s fair to say that’s been a common theme of the Utes this season— “close, but no cigar.” No. 18 Washington’s 33-30 win over Utah last week came with Tristan Vizcaino nailing a 38-yard field goal as time expired.
