BOULDER — Taking your foot off the gas is one thing. But attempting to drive while half asleep is asking for trouble, something Colorado learned the hard way on Saturday.

CU saw a chance to keep pace with Utah in the Pac-12 South chase go up in smoke, along with the opportunity to reach six wins and bowl eligibility with a month left in the regular season.
