The Colorado Buffaloes football team hosted the Stanford Cardinals for their 105th homecoming game at Folsom Field in Boulder. In honor of Veterans Day on Monday Nov. 11, Saturday’s matchup against Stanford served as CU’s annual Military Appreciation Day.
For the Buffs, last week’s dreadful effort defensively in the first quarter against UCLA put them in a 17-0 hole, which eventually proved too much to overcome. Inconsistent play from redshirt senior quarterback Steven Montez and an inexperienced secondary has plagued Colorado during their five-game losing streak.
Meanwhile, the return of senior quarterback K.J. Costello last week sparked the Cardinal offense.
