Diego Gonzalez found redemption as the Buffaloes won the Rocky Mountain Showdown.
The Colorado Buffaloes have been plagued by slow starts already this season and we'd see nothing different when they took the field for the Rocky Mountain Showdown.
CSU quarterback Nick Stevens came out firing in the first quarter, helped by the fact that he faced zero pressure and was aided by playcalling that made Colorado's look less than uninspiring. Two straight drives led to touchdowns for the Rams to give them an early 14-3 lead.
After the Buffaloes squandered multiple opportunities to get back in the game after Ram misqueues Sefo Liufau was finally able to connect with Shay Fields on a 65-yard touchdown that turned the tide of the game and gave the Buffs the momentum they had been lacking.
