If there was ever a non-injury nightmare for any quarterback, Steven Montez lived thru it during the Colorado Buffaloes 33-21 season finale loss to Cal on Saturday night. The Buffs (5-7, 2-6 Pac-12) miss the postseason for a second consecutive season, and become the third team since bowl expansion to start 5-0 and lose seven straight games.
Well, when a season breaks bad, it breaks all the way bad for the Buffaloes. Interim coach Kurt Roper’s first game in charge started horribly, brought some hope, and then crushed that hope in disappointing fashion. It was also the first game in 2018 where CU never lead.
