After struggling on the ground amid a throng of concerned onlookers, a wounded Buffalo carefully was lifted into a cart and driven out of Folsom Field.
Along the way Chip the mascot waved to the crowd and dangled both legs, seemingly showing the CU faithful their favorite silent, costumed-garbed bovine had at least three functioning limbs and was going to be OK. And with that injury scare in the second quarter the drama pretty much was over during a stress-free home opener on Saturday for the Colorado Buffaloes, who raced past an overmatched New Hampshire squad for a 45-14 victory.
