CU’s offense struggles in shutout loss vs. Minnesota

Following last week’s loss to then-No. 5 Texas A&M, the 1-1 Colorado Buffaloes were shut out by the Minnesota Golden Gophers 30-0 at Folsom Field on Saturday.

It was a game full of struggles as Saturday marked the seventh scoreless first quarter for Colorado in its last 204 home games at Folsom Field. Head coach Karl Dorrell analyzed how Minnesota was able to overpower Colorado.
