Colorado defense shows up big, keeps team in bowl eligibility

The Colorado Buffaloes football team (4-6) took down Stanford (4-5) to pick up their first win since defeating Arizona State in CU’s Pac-12 opener in mid-September. With this win, Colorado moves to 4-6 on the season and remains bowl eligible with just two games remaining.

Many things went well for Colorado, specifically, CU’s defense and the running and kicking game. Colorado’s lead back, Alex Fontenot, led the team in rushing with 95 yards on 18 attempts with a 5.3 average carry.

On the kicking side of things, redshirt freshman Evan Price knocked three field goals through the uprights, including the game-winner as time expired in the fourth quarter.
