Things aren't going well for Colorado early in the game against Houston. The Cougars have looked like the better team, carrying a 10-0 lead through one quarter of play. Houston has dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. Without a semblance of a run game, the Buffs have been forced to put a lot on Ryan Staub in his second career start. He might figure it out, but early returns haven't been kind.
Houston certainly hasn't needed any assistance from the officials, and yet they are getting it anyway. Late in the first quarter, with Houston up 10, Colorado looked to be close to getting a crucial stop.
