After a sluggish start, the Colorado Buffaloes pulled away in the 3rdquarter to defeat Chip Kelly’s UCLA Bruins 38-16 Friday night in Boulder. With the win, the Buffaloes improved to 4-0 for the 31st time in program history, but first since 1998. Since joining the Pac-12 in 2011, the Buffaloes are now 3-5 in conference openers.
Here are my three biggest takeaways from the Buffaloes big win:
1. Steven Montez continues to impress; OLB Drew Lewis breaks out
Laviska Shenualt may be grabbing most of the headlines, but through four games, the guy throwing him the football is having one hell of a season.
