Tuesday Buffs Bits: 'Folsom Fast' Can Also Pound Out Long Drives

BOULDER — Since the season began, the Colorado Buffaloes' offense has prided itself in being "Folsom Fast."

Of CU's 25 scoring drives, 15 of them have taken less than three minutes to complete. It's what happens when 10 of your touchdown plays cover 25 yards or more.

But in last week's 38-16 win over UCLA, Colorado also proved it can grind out steady, methodical scoring drives that work the clock — and take a toll on the defense at the same time. The Buffs had a 12-play, 80-yard scoring drive that took 5:51 off the clock in the first half, then took control late in the third quarter with another punishing drive, a 13-play march that featured 10 rushes while covering 67 yards and using 5:45.
