Can the Buffaloes sweep UCLA and USC?
The Colorado Buffaloes have a critical week ahead. They visit Los Angeles to play at UCLA and USC. Those games may sound intimidating, yet both teams have been disasters of different scales, and though it’s unlikely, the Buffs could realistically sweep that series.
UCLA — Wednesday, 7:00 p.m., Pac-12 Networks
The Buffs start with UCLA, who started the season 21st in the pre-season polls yet have gone just 12-10 and 5-4 in conference. Their abysmal start included home losses to Belmont and Liberty, so it was no surprise to see Steve Alford fired before Pac-12 play started. Interim coach Murry Bartow has been an improvement, but that’s not saying much, even considering their win at Oregon.
