BOULDER — Last Saturday, UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen spent most of his afternoon on the sideline.
Along with the rest of his teammates on the Bruins' offense, Rosen watched the Colorado offense run play after play after play.
The Buffaloes, in fact, ran 114 plays on offense, setting a single-game school record and coming within one snap of tying the national mark.
CU lost the game, 35-31, but gave itself a chance to beat the then-No. 24 Bruins by controlling the clock.
In recent games, the Buffs (4-5, 1-4 Pac-12) have become better at ball control, and their ability to do that this week against ninth-ranked Stanford (7-1, 6-0) could play a significant role in the outcome.
