Rooney: Effort from injury-riddled CU Buffs a promising sign for stretch run

Colorado didn't come home with a win, and any road to a second Pac-12 South Division title in three seasons just became appreciably more difficult.

Still, give coach Mike MacIntyre and the Buffaloes this much credit. One week after a discouragingly uncompetitive loss at USC, which featured arguably one of the worst coaching performances of MacIntyre's CU tenure, MacIntyre and his staff rebounded with an effort that could've been counted among his best with the Buffs had the outcome not gone down as a 27-13 defeat.

A loss is a loss.
