College Football:

Colorado Buffaloes would get off to a rough first half as the Utah Utes would score two touchdowns in the first, and add another in the second to go up 21-0 at the half. Colorado would strike back as Sefo Liufau would connect with Scott Fernandez on a 34-yard touchdown in the 3rd quarter. After both teams would trade field goals. Liufau would strike again with Nelson Spruce for a 14-yard touchdown, trailing the Utes by seven. Colorado would have one last shot in their final game, as they forced a Utah punt. Sefo Liufau would get intercepted by Trevor Reilly ending the game, giving the Utes the win, 24-17. Colorado would finish their 2013 season, (4-8, 1-8 in the PAC-12). This may be perhaps the last time we see Paul Richardson in uniform as he may declare for the NFL Draft, but the team has improved from last year, that’s for sure.

Colorado St. would score 17 points in the 2nd quarter as they took the lead at halftime, 30-0. CSU would score 58 unanswered points before Air Force managed to scratch two touchdowns late as the Rams softened up their defense. The Rams would come away victorious, 58-13. Garrett Grayson would go 26/34 and throw for 395 yards with 3 touchdowns. Colorado State is bowl-eligible for the first time since 2008, scratching their best record (7-6), in the program since 2003.
