Buffs Defense Takes Aim At Containing WSU Pass Attack
CU's Drew Lewis (20) and Nick Fisher will be part of a CU defense trying to contain Washington State's potent pass game Saturday.
BOULDER – After a rough four-game stretch, the Colorado Buffaloes' defense will try to get back on the right track Saturday in a 1:30 p.m. game against No. 10 Washington State at Folsom Field (ESPN).
In their last four games — all losses — the Buffs have given up an 427.5 yards per game. Their task Saturday will be a difficult one, as they face WSU graduate transfer quarterback Gardner Minshew II, who leads the nation with 329 completions and 3,517 passing yards, along with a Pac-12 leading 70.8 percent completion rate and 27 touchdowns.
