BOULDER — Colorado coach Mel Tucker isn't one to buy — and definitely not one to sell — moral victories.
You win or lose. It's that simple. No gray area.
But anyone who watched Tucker's Buffaloes take Southern California down to the wire Friday night, especially in the wake of two lopsided losses, came away knowing this much:
Tucker's Buffs don't quit. And while a 35-31 loss will count the same as any other defeat his Buffs have been dealt this year, they did enough good things Friday night to send the message that Colorado football is still headed in the right direction.
