BOULDER — Aside from a rough evening at Oregon, the Colorado Buffaloes' run defense has played well in Pac-12 games.
The Buffs are fifth in the league in rush defense in conference games, yielding just 136.6 yards per game on the ground. Outside of giving up 252 yards to Oregon, CU hasn't allowed a conference opponent to gain more than 128 yards on the ground in its other four Pac-12 contests.
That run defense will be tested Saturday when Colorado (3-5 overall, 1-4 Pac-12) faces off with UCLA (3-5, 3-2) in a 7 p.m. game at the Rose Bowl.
