BOULDER — Now it gets interesting for the Colorado Buffaloes and fans wondering if the program is turning the corner after years of futility.
They lost a game they should have won at Hawaii to open the season. They manhandled Massachusetts in their home opener. They came from behind to beat rival Colorado State last week in overtime, and Saturday they destroyed an FCS opponent that hasn't won in almost two years.
Nelson Spruce became CU's all-time leader in pass receiving yardage and the Buffs beat Nicholls State 48-0 to forge their first three-game winning streak since 2008.
