BOULDER — "We broke them at the end."
Saturday afternoon, in front of a near-disbelieving, sold-out Folsom Field, that's exactly what Mel Tucker's Colorado Buffaloes did to the No. 25 Nebraska Cornhuskers. The Buffs took the Huskers' best shot, then got up off the mat and pounded the visitors into submission.
Colorado 34, Nebraska 31 in overtime — and guaranteed, it will be a long, long time before anyone forgets Tucker's first game in Boulder.
It was by no means easy. In fact, things looked rather bleak for Colorado after 30 minutes of play.
