BOULDER — In the early Sunday morning press conference after Colorado’s 41-24 loss to Oregon, a subdued Tedric Thompson repeated the theme for the Buffs’ secondary, and for the game as a whole — Colorado was good, but not good enough. The Buffs put themselves in position to win, but couldn’t capitalize.
“We can beat Oregon,” he said. “We can beat anyone else in the Pac-12 we play against. We just have to fix the little things.”
The Buffs’ secondary limited Oregon’s passing attack for most of the night. They held the Ducks to only 176 passing yards, barely more than half of their season average.
