The dust has settled from another intense college football Saturday that saw the Colorado Buffaloes escape Lincoln, Neb. with a victory for the first time since 2004. In front of a national television audience, the Buffaloes ruined Scott Frost’s debut with a 33-28 win in the 70th meeting between the two schools. Nebraska now holds a 49-19-2 edge in the rivalry which dates back to 1898, but Colorado has won five of the last 11 games since 2001.
Here are my three biggest takeaways from the Buffaloes dramatic victory:
1. The Buffaloes were very lucky to escape Lincoln with a win
Take a quick glance at the box score and you’d be shocked to see Colorado won this game.
