BOULDER — While virtually nobody expected Colorado to produce an upset of No. 8 USC on Friday — and virtually everybody was right — the Buffaloes nevertheless missed an opportunity to make the game much closer than the final 55-17 score.
That's been the story for the Buffs too many times this season. Missed opportunities and mistakes have led to a long list of lopsided losses.
Now, the 1-9 Buffaloes have two games remaining, meaning two chances to get to at least two wins and escape joining the 1980, 1984 and 2012 teams as the only Buffs squads in modern history to win just one game in a season.
