After a tough 42-34 loss on Saturday night to Arizona State, the Buffs look to one of their most difficult matchups of the year as the University of Oregon Ducks come to town. Oregon is the eighth-ranked team in the country, with a 7-1 record, their only loss coming from the number one-ranked University of Georgia.

Though it was the highest-scoring game of the year for the Buffs, with 34, the defense could not match that level of play. ASU scored quickly, and CU was playing from behind the whole game. By the fourth quarter, the Buffs were down by 22 points, and their late scoring surge wasn’t enough for the win on a cold Saturday in Boulder.
