Colorado hangs on to win Rocky Mountain Showdown

After a long night at Folsom Field, the Buffs somehow found a way to come away with a scrappy 43-35 double overtime win over rival Colorado State.

Coach Prime and his team entered this game with a chip on their shoulders. CSU head coach Jay Norvell made some rude comments about the Colorado coach’s mother on Thursday, which made this week’s game personal. The Buffs wanted to come out and dominate their little brotherly rivals to prove a point, but that isn’t what ended up materializing. Instead, we saw a relatively sloppy and undisciplined performance from both teams.
