The Colorado Buffaloes defeated the Northern Colorado Bears 35-7 in CU’s first game of the 2021 season. Although it was a scoreless game through the first quarter, head coach Karl Dorrell and his group of running backs led the team to a five-touchdown victory.
It was an impressive performance by the Buffs as they didn’t commit a turnover the entire game, just the second time Dorrell has had a turnover-free game as Colorado’s head coach.
Dorrell discussed how two players who suffered season-ending injuries in 2020, senior linebacker Nate Landman and junior safety Chris Miller, led the lockdown defense.
