The monkey is off our backs, the ghosts of a decade gone wrong have been exorcised and Mike MacIntyre's rebuild is complete. The Colorado Buffaloes are bowl eligible eight games into the season and now have the Pac-12 South squarely in their sights. A contest that seemed to go by at light speed saw two defenses dominate and the Colorado Buffaloes finally do enough to make the entire damn nation stand up and notice.
The game started off simply enough with a three and out for Stanford and an eight-play drive for the Buffaloes that started off promising but died at midfield when Colorado quarterback Sefo Liufau took sacks on first and third down.
