SANTA CLARA, Calif. — No shame.
While the Colorado Buffaloes' 41-10 loss to Washington in Friday's Pac-12 Championship will no doubt hurt for a while — a long while — this will still be a Colorado team that deserves to hold its head high.
Yes, Friday night's loss was tough to swallow. After a dream regular season, a nightmare championship game was not what anyone envisioned — or expected. The Huskies did what no other team has done to Colorado this year: dominate the Buffs on both sides of the ball and slowly but surely throttle them into submission.
