Colorado players grateful to play afternoon game this week

Boulder — After four straight night games, including some VERY late night games, the Colorado Buffs will get to play in the afternoon Saturday when they travel to UCLA.

The game will begin at 1 p.m. Mountain time, noon in California. Last week’s game at Oregon State began at 8:30 MDT, and the team didn’t get back to Colorado until 5:30 a.m. Sunday.

“It’ll be good,” said quarterback Sefo Liufau. “We practice in the morning, so I think we’ll be very prepared for this game at noon. It’s an earlier game, which we’re excited about, not sitting around the hotel all day, twiddling our thumbs waiting to go.
