BOULDER — Consistency has been not a strong suit of Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders' Colorado Buffaloes this season.
When the offense is rolling, the defense struggles. When the defense plays well — as it has the last two weeks — the offense has trouble establishing a steady rhythm.
As a result, the Buffs (4-5 overall, 1-5 Pac-12) are now mired in a three-game losing streak and have dropped five of their last six. With three games remaining, beginning with next Saturday's home finale against surging Arizona, the Buffs must find a way to snap their slump or miss a chance at a bowl bid — something that seemed almost a given after their 3-0 start.
