BOULDER — Mike MacIntyre's Colorado Buffaloes are not only 5-0 and ranked in the top 20 in the nation (No. 19 AP, No. 18 USA Today) — they are also doing what good teams should do: improve on a weekly basis.
Saturday's 28-21 win over Arizona State in front of a jam-packed Folsom Field crowd (52,681) was the Buffs' best overall effort yet against the best team the Buffs have faced so far. Colorado's offense once again came up with big plays and punishing drives, the defense delivered key stops when most needed — including a huge goal-line stand — and special teams were consistent.
