Friday's Fast Five: Digging Into Keys For Buffs Vs. USC

CU's Davion Taylor had a fumble return for a touchdown against New Hampshire earlier this season.

BOULDER — Saturday night's Colorado-USC game at the Los Angeles Coliseum will be a rarity in the series.

For only the second time since CU joined the Pac-12 in time for the 2011 season, the Buffs are the ranked team (No. 19 AP, No. 18 USA Today), not the Trojans. The first occasion came in 2016, when No. 21 Colorado faced an unranked USC team in the Coliseum — and still came out on the short end of a 21-17 score, one of the 12 times Colorado has fallen to the Trojans in 12 meetings.
