Searching signature win, Buffs can get one against Oregon

BOULDER — When a team hasn't had a winning season in a decade, it pretty much goes without saying that it's been a long time since the program produced a signature win.

It may be stretching the definition, but Colorado safety Jered Bell says the last big Colorado win he can remember came at home, 29-27, over Georgia in 2010, the final year of Dan Hawkins' tenure. Bell, then a freshman, recalls fans storming the field in jubilation.

"Playing an SEC school, we were in the Big 12 at that time, there was a lot of hype around it," said Bell, a sixth-year player who lost two seasons to ACL injuries.
