The Colorado Buffaloes entered the Pac-12 Championship game on Friday night a team with nothing to lose. A program that had so out performed expectations that they were playing with house money, a world of possibilities awaiting with a win but so much accomplished, regardless. After a 41-10 loss that was even more frustrating then the final score would indicate it's hard to think back to that feeling, even if it was only a few hours ago.
The opening drive honestly couldn't have gone any worse for the Buffaloes when Tedric Thompson earned an unnecessary pass interference penalty trying to break up an underthrown ball to Husky receiver John Ross.
