For two consecutive weeks, the Colorado offense has struggled to gain much traction.
The Buffaloes (5-2, 2-2 Pac-12) have scored just 33 points in the last two games combined, while putting up two of the lowest yardage totals in head coach Mike MacIntyre’s six seasons.
For the first time since 2012, the Buffs have finished with less than 275 yards in back-to-back games.
There are several reasons for the sputtering attack. As MacIntyre has pointed out, the Buffs have played two good defenses (USC and Washington), which is true. The Buffs have also had costly penalties.
