BOULDER — With the Colorado Buffaloes enjoying a weekend off before they begin preparations for next Saturday's home game with Arizona (2:30 p.m., Pac-12 Network), it's a good time to take a quick dive into what we've learned so far from Mel Tucker's 3-1 Buffs.
Call it our Bye Week Takeaways:
1. Colorado's 34-31 win at ASU continues to grow in importance. The fact that the Buffs went into Sun Devil Stadium and knocked off then-unbeaten and nationally ranked Arizona State was no doubt impressive in its own right. The Buffs started fast, withstood an ASU rally, then put together the game-winning offensive drive and defensive stand down the stretch to produce the win.
