BOULDER — Colorado cut a 22-point deficit down to eight in the final quarter Saturday night, but couldn't complete the rally as the Buffaloes dropped a 42-34 decision to Arizona State at Folsom Field.
The Buffs, who recorded their highest point total of the season, fell to 1-7 overall and 1-4 in Pac-12 play while ASU improved to 3-5, 2-3.
The Buffs trailed 42-20 midway through the fourth period, but scored two quick touchdowns — one on a long scoring drive, followed by an 88-yard punt return from Jordyn Tyson — to put a scare into the Sun Devils.
