BOULDER — Not long after Colorado's 30-23 overtime loss to Air Force on Saturday, the 24-hour rule kicked in for the Buffaloes.
Yes, it works both ways. Win or lose, Mel Tucker's 2-1 Buffs get some time to absorb the result, then move on to begin preparation for the next opponent.
There will be plenty to digest. The Buffs will learn from the miscues that cost them a victory against the Falcons; then begin preparing for next Saturday's Pac-12 opener at Arizona State (8 p.m., Pac-12 Networks).
Anyone who took the Sun Devils lightly after their less-than-impressive 19-7 win over Sacramento State in Week 2 is rethinking that position after their impressive 10-7 win Saturday at Michigan State.
