Woelk: Once Again, Mistakes Doom Buffs
By -BOULDER — No moral victories.
The Colorado Buffaloes are no longer a team that takes any consolation in “Close, but …”
The Buffs know that sooner or later, they have to start winning some of the close games they’ve let slip away, particularly when it comes to Pac-12 play.
Saturday night — and Sunday morning — provided the latest example. In a game in which the Buffs had to be nearly perfect all night, they played well enough to win for a half, battling the Oregon Ducks to a 17-17 halftime standoff.
But down the stretch of a game delayed an hour by lightning, the Buffs committed too many unforced errors to make lightning strike twice and ended up on the short end of a 41-24 loss.
