BOULDER — Last week, folks were calling the Colorado-Washington State game the biggest at Folsom Field in more than a decade.
That designation lasted a week.
Now, Saturday's much-anticipated 5:30 matchup with Utah is the latest big game at Folsom, and it includes a script twist: while the 9-2 Buffs (7-1 Pac-12) will be playing for a Pac-12 South title and a chance to play in the conference championship game, the 8-3 Utes (5-3) have been relegated to the role of spoiler.
It's a role they'll likely embrace, especially given the fact that it was Colorado who ruined Utah's chances of a division title in 2011 with a win in the regular season finale.
