After a tough opening loss against Texas Christian University last Friday, the University of Colorado Buffaloes had another disappointing outing against the Air Force Academy Falcons, losing 41-10, in Colorado Springs on Saturday, Sept. 10,
Going into the game as underdogs, the Buffs fell behind from the start. Foggy and rainy weather hindered their offense, and it proved challenging to spark any momentum.
After a week of secrecy about who would start at quarterback for the Buffs, sophomore J.T. Shrout was designated as the offensive leader for Saturday. He saw little success and was held to 5/21 with only 51 passing yards, as the Falcons defense stopped Shrout and the Buffs in their tracks.
