Coming off a game it thought it could win against Oregon, the University of Colorado football team hoped, at least, to carry the remainder of its confidence into Saturday night’s game against Arizona State. That was not the case, as CU fell 48-23. The opening kickoff went for a touchback and after that almost everything went wrong.
“We cannot shoot ourselves in the foot and expect to win a Pac-12 football game,” Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre said. “We’ve got to stop doing that.”
The Sun Devils’ first touchdown defined the game. After punting away their first possession, the Buffs’ defense gave up a 38-yard completion.
