On Saturday, Nov. 5 at Folsom Field, the Oregon Ducks trampled the Buffs by a final score of 49-10, handing the Buffs their eighth loss of the season on a cold and extremely windy afternoon. Despite some promising individual performances on Colorado’s team, overall, Oregon outclassed and outperformed Colorado on nearly all facets of the game.
Similar to previous games this season, the Buffs’ offense struggled to get momentum from the start. Sophomore quarterback JT Shrout, who started the game in place of injured Owen McCown, played decently throughout. He finished the game with an adequate 247 passing yards and two unfortunate interceptions — both to former Buff Christian Gonzalez.
