The members of The Denver Post sports department have spent their entire lives watching or covering sporting events as reporters or fans. So it’s safe to say we’ve borne witness to more than a few good games. Here are some of our favorites:
CU Buffs 20, No. 3 Nebraska 10
Date/location: Oct. 25, 1986, Folsom Field
Briefly: With apologies to the late, great Fred “The Count” Casotti, I am a bit of a CU football historian, and I consider this game the milestone that began the Buffs’ greatest run. CU had gone a long, miserable 17 years without defeating the Cornhuskers, whom coach Bill McCartney brazenly designated the Buffs’ rivals.
