The Buffs stole the first of the home-and-home rivalry series with the Cornhuskers.

The Colorado Buffaloes have some bad memories from their past trips to Lincoln. That string of blowouts and close losses feels a little more distant after a trimuphent win in the return of a rivalry series.

In an ugly, gritty game that looked great at first, and then very quickly didn’t, Colorado rallied for a 33-28 victory over Nebraska. Steven Montez hit a streaking Laviska Shenault down the far sideline for a 40-yard go-ahead touchdown pass with 1:06 left in the game to ruin the season opener for coach Scott Frost on Saturday.

The struggle was real in Lincoln and it was felt by both teams.
