Spruce, Lindsay lead Colorado past Nicholls 48-0

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) The Colorado Buffaloes head into Pac-12 play riding their first three-game winning streak in seven years following a 48-0 rout of Nicholls State on Saturday.

Buffs coach Mike MacIntyre's son, Jay, scored his first collegiate touchdown, Nelson Spruce set another school receiving record and Jared Bell picked off two passes in Colorado's first shutout since a 24-0 whitewash of Wyoming on Sept. 19, 2009.

Even three trips inside the Colonels' 10-yard line that came up empty couldn't keep the Buffs (3-1) from romping to their biggest win in six tries over an FCS-level opponent.
