Woelk: Recent History Suggests Close Game With Bruins; Ability To Finish Was 2016 Trademark

CU's Isaiah Oliver had a 68-yard punt return for a touchdown to clinch the Buffs' win over UCLA last season.

BOULDER — Sooner or later, Mike MacIntyre's Buffaloes will play a nailbiter.

Saturday's game at the Rose Bowl vs. UCLA (8:30 p.m., ESPN2) is a very good candidate.

The last three times the team have met, the game has come down to the fourth quarter or overtime. Records haven't mattered and neither have rankings. When the Buffs and Bruins get together, recent history suggests it will be a down-to-the-wire affair.

In 2014, the 2-5 Buffs played host to the 25th-ranked, 5-2 Bruins.
