SALT LAKE CITY — The Colorado Buffaloes have been here before.
That's "here" as in 5-6 and heading into the regular season finale needing a win to gain bowl eligibility, a scenario they have faced in each of the last two seasons. "Here" as in Utah's Rice-Eccles Stadium, the place the Buffs visited just two years ago in search of that sixth win, only to come away empty handed.
Now they are here again — and this time around, Mel Tucker's Buffs are aiming to write a different ending.
There should be no lack of motivation for either team.
