Colorado Buffaloes Fall Short Against No. 11 Utah

On Saturday, the Colorado Buffaloes faced off against No. 11 Utah, ultimately losing 27-24, which marked their fourth consecutive defeat. The game was tightly contested, with Colorado nearly pulling off an upset.

After trailing 13-0 at halftime, Colorado surged in the third quarter, scoring 17 unanswered points to take the lead. However, their last attempt to secure a victory was thwarted by a replay review that ruled a lateral pass as a forward pass, negating a significant gain.

This loss adds to Colorado's struggles, as they have now lost four straight games against teams with a combined record of 21-3. Utah, now 6-0, extended their winning streak to 12 games, the longest in the nation following Notre Dame's loss. Since the end of the 2024 season, Colorado has a record of 2-14 against Power Five schools.
