Judging solely by his Twitter feed, KD Nixon was heaping big helpings of guilt upon himself for Colorado's incomprehensible meltdown at home Saturday against Oregon State.
The sophomore receiver humbly sent out the phrase, "Sorry buff nation, I let y'all down! I'll bounce back!" in the aftermath of the Buffs squandering a four-touchdown lead in the second half. It was a commendable and surely heartfelt statement from Nixon, yet it was one that belied the fact he had just turned in a career-best game, and that his efforts were among the few individual performances that stood out amid the epic team-wide collapse.
