CU to battle UCLA on Saturday in season opener

On Saturday, the Colorado Buffaloes will debut at home for the start of the 2020 football season against the UCLA Bruins. Last year, both teams finished with relatively similar records with Colorado at 5-7 and UCLA at 4-8.

In their matchup last season, the Bruins beat the Buffs by 17 points, 31-14. The Bruins offense gave CU trouble with touchdowns coming from tight end Devin Asiasi, wide receiver Ethan Fernea and two from running back Joshua Kelley. Kelley and Asiasi have since been drafted into the NFL. The Bruins have high hopes for junior starting quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson who threw for two touchdowns against the Buffs last year and expects to cause problems once again for Colorado’s defense.
