Despite some hopeful moments and an ambitious comeback bid, Colorado fell to the Arizona State Sun Devils, 42-34, in a matchup at Folsom Field on Saturday, Oct. 29. Colorado dropped to 1-7 and 1-4 in PAC-12 play while Arizona State improved to 3-5 and 2-3 in PAC-12 play.
The Buffs quickly found themselves in an early 7-0 hole and never recovered. It didn’t take long for ASU to find the end zone as graduate running back Xazavian Valladay would score the first points of the game on a four-yard rush. A 49-yard field goal from Colorado sophomore kicker Cole Becker made it 7-3, but the Sun Devils would respond almost instantly with another touchdown, pushing their lead to 14-7.
